Clubs - Club Development Network

Both new and existing clubs need to monitor the way the club is managed and developed.

An initiative of the Australian Sports Commission, the primary aim of the Network is to assist your club to develop and implement an action plan consisting of strategies for improving the way your club is managed.

Club Development Network membership is free and enables your club to access a number of online resources. These include:

• A Management Checklist template - designed to help your club identify what you are doing well and perhaps what you are not doing so well. The checklist enables clubs to review their performance against areas of management that are common to all clubs
• A Summary of Ratings template - designed to help your club clearly identify its management strengths and weaknesses, so that decisions can be made on which areas should be addressed as a matter of priority
• An Action Plan template - enables your club to transfer those areas to be addressed on to a template that will assist your club to "map out" what needs to be done, by when and by whom
• Resource Library - provides access to an extensive catalogue of online resources relating to all of the issues raised in the checklist to assist your club to implement the actions you have identified in your action plan

All members receive an online newsletter (E-news) developed by the Australian Sports Commission advising of various initiatives and resources related to club development.

The Office for Recreation and Sport also distributes the Club Development Network E-Bulletin bi-annually to all members in South Australia, which comprises state specific information related to club development.
