Is YOUR sports club successful and also sustainable?
To have a successful well-run sports club, it’s critical that you have a framework in place that gives you a robust organisational process, while still maintaining a focus on delivering value to club members.

Like many community sports clubs, the people playing on game-days are the same people who volunteer their time to the club committee.
With time and budgetary constraints always being a significant hurdle, it’s ultimately the volunteer committee members who are tasks with the responsibility to make tough operational decisions at the club AND do the hard work!
