Club Support
Sport is rapidly moving into a more 'professional' culture, partly as a result of changes in legislation, but largely from the desire to improve. The most effective way for clubs to develop and improve is to be involved in a planning process that sets your club on the path to a better future. There are many reasons why a club will benefit from planning:
- Use your club resources more effectively
- Identify and prioritise the club's aims and aspirations for the future
- Recognise where the club has come from and where it is now
- Improve team spirit by involving members in decision making
- Forward planning is essential for accessing funding support, such as local grant aid
- Ensure a professional approach
- Demonstrate what the club can offer potential new players/ members
- Can demonstrate the club's commitment to local schools or the Local Authority
- The planning process can develop team work off the sports field
- Cope with change
- Check on the club’s progress.
If you are responsible for your sports club, you can find out about funding opportunities, quality awards (e.g. Clubmark) and also use the resources that we will be providing links to on a regular basis.
