If this is all new to you and looks a bit overwhelming, the best way to start is to work through each section in turn. The sections are broken down into managable areas and they will guide you to what you need to get in place right from the start and the things that you can leave until later on.
Here is a brief overview of what you will find in this section:
COACHING: This section will provide information for the more specific role of the coach.
VOLUNTEERS: This section looks at recruiting and supporting your volunteers.
PLAYING PROGRAMME: This section will give you some ideas on how to organise your club programme, setting up Club-School links and some handy hints about the benefits of local competitions and how best to prepare for them.
FACILITIES & FUNDING: This section provides your club with links to facilities in your area.
MANAGING YOUR CLUB: This section looks at the administrative duties involved with managing your club.
WELFARE: This section can be used to help your club be more aware of welfare issues and adopt the right policies and ways of working.
FAIRNESS FOR ALL: It’s important in sport as elsewhere that everyone has equal status and opportunities.
