Clubs

Sport Across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent recognise that sports clubs are at the heart of the future development of sport in the country, we therefore dedicate a lot of time and effort into the development and support of our sports clubs.

Clubs play a vital role and provide a supportive environment for young players to develop. Sport Across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent will help assist National Governing Bodies of Sport in the development of active, accessible and accredited clubs through national and sub-regional programmes.

The SASSOT Club Support Plan focuses on the opportunities for supporting and developing the sports club infrastructure throughout Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent which is deemed by government as pivotal in the role SASSOT can play in contributing to driving the 1% increase in sport and active recreation needed year on year.
