Club user guide
The role of running of a sporting club or organisation is becoming more complex and demanding, especially for volunteer club administrators.
The club user guide is an easy-to-use reference put together to help sporting club organisers and busy volunteers tackle the ins and outs of running a club.
The club user guide contains information on:
- how to get funding
- how to be an effective club
- our sports policies
We hope you find the information useful and we would like your feedback on how we can improve the club user guides.
Updating your club guide
The club user guide was last updated in 2012. Contact the Sport and Recreation team for an updated copy.
