Strategic planning is a vital part of your club’s success. A strategic plan identifies a path for your club to follow. It sets out what you want to achieve and what steps you need to take to get there. Without a strategic plan, your club suffers from directionless actions and often repeated challenges and issues. 

This workshop will explore the basic steps in developing a strategic plan with and for your club, including setting goals and objectives, adoption, implementation, monitoring and succession planning. 

Resources and templates will be provided to start your club on its way to developing a positive strategic plan.

hrough sport, young people can learn valuable life lessons. The Positive Coaching Workshop is designed to create a positive environment for young people in sport. Focusing on using sport to help and support children’s learning and the development of life skills. 

A Positive Coaching approach will:  

 

  • Empower parents, coaches, teachers and sport leaders to help create a more positive sporting environment for young people  
  • Support young people, along with their coaches, parents and teachers, to move away from the ‘win at all costs’ mentality and focus instead on effort, respect and responsibility  
  • Use workshops and tailored support materials to encourage this change in approach and so inspire young people to reach their maximum potential  
  • Help educate young people about winning, losing and cooperation, while at the same time encouraging them to learn and develop new skills. Winning in life and in sport is achieved through effort
