ABSTRACT
Equitable access to, and in, sport is often presented as a key to social inclusion. Without somewhere to be, no activity can be done. By drawing primarily upon an example of Afghan migrant women's search for swimming facilities, this chapter outlines three interlinked elements to an alternative conceptualization of access – physical, political, and socio-cultural – to identify what leaders might consider about it from a social inclusion perspective. Thereafter, the chapter turns to an argument that the key to access to, and in, sport depends on leaders granting a representative diversity of stakeholders a say on how, where, and when sport is to be accessed. The chapter ends with a discussion on what and how leaders can foster equitable access in sport.
