Well organised clubs
We aspire to ensure sport clubs are well run and are supported by local community members. It is essential that club officials recognise they are running a business as well as a club. If we are to develop world class clubs then we need to develop an understanding of clubs and in turn, clubs need to understand their members and local communities. This evidence based approach ensures clubs are developed in line with their members’ and local community’s needs.
The collective challenge
Working to achieve the following aims will ensure that clubs are better organised:
The collective challenge
- All clubs should be encouraged to have a dream
- Where there is demand, new clubs are developed within communities
- Clubs are strong organisations that take a planned approach to the development of their organisation and their activities
- Clubs focus on the quality of what they offer as well as their membership numbers
- Clubs have regular dialogue with, and understand the needs of their members and community and use this information to improve activities
- Ensure that the appropriate administration exists within clubs
- Ensure that club coaches are allowed to focus on coaching
- Everyone with a stake in developing clubs is clear about their role and responsibility
- The bureaucracy that clubs can face is reduced
- Agreed club guidelines, that link our various accreditation schemes, need to be established
- Ensure clubs adopt an appropriate legal status
