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.

One of the key elements in supporting participation in sport is building a quality club infrastructure whilst improving and developing the capacity for sports clubs to attract new members.

SASSOT aim to enhance the support network available to sports clubs and develop dynamic, coordinated and sustainable networks of high quality clubs providing sporting opportunities for all in partnership with National Governing Bodies of Sport.

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 physical activity needed year on year.

Objectives of the Club Support Plan

To further build and support a network of active, accessible and accredited clubs
To develop the club/volunteer infrastructure and enhance the support network available to sports clubs/volunteers
To develop a planned and coordinated programme of club/volunteer education and training opportunities
To increase the number of sports clubs receiving investment support, accessing external funding and developing sustainable clubs
To support NGBs in delivering increases in people's satisfaction with the quality of sport experience (in line with SE 2008-11 strategy)

In May 2010, the second year Club Support action plan was officially signed off by the Executive Board and launched within Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
