SASP stands for 'significant areas for sport' and recognises the most important sites for individual sports. These sites have been identified by the individual national governing bodies of sport in partnership with Sport England.

SASP s identify and describe why the site is important to that sport and what specific features make the site special. SASP s are intended not to be an at risk register but rather a recognition of the most important sporting sites in England.

SASP s recognise the top sites for a sport within the country and two levels of SASP have been identified:

1. National SASP - sites which are of national importance to the sport
2. Regional SASP - sites which are of regional importance to the sport

The list of SASPs is intended to be a living list, which will be reviewed periodically to ensure the most important sporting sites are included, and those that decline in importance are taken off.
