Developing Partnerships with Clubs and Schools

This workshop aims to develop school and sport organisation partnerships to provide young people with quality opportunities to progress in sports from schools to clubs.

Young people are the future of sports, and it is important that they are able to move from school to an adult environment that is of high quality, attractive to them, and that helps them progress in their chosen sport.

Developing Partnerships with Clubs and Schools' focuses on two key areas in making the transition and can be tailored to meet the needs of schools and sports organisations. This workshop will enable schools and sports organisations to:

• analyse the benefits of developing quality partnerships with sports organisations/a junior sports club
• list the key factors in creating a sustainable partnership
• identify who to involve in developing a partnership/junior club.

By participating in this workshop, schools and sports organisations will be able to:

• list the benefits of linking schools and sports clubs
• identify current initiatives and resources that can support the development of links between schools and clubs and support the development of junior clubs
• identify ways in which the partners can work together effectively to create successful partnerships
• identify the key elements for developing junior clubs, and how this fits with Clubmark and National Governing Body club programmes
• create an outline plan for a particular development project.
