Club Experience for Young People workshop

We are really excited to invite you to our brand new Club Experience for Young People workshop.

club-experience-posterFrom our recent insight activities, we learnt so much about who young people are, what they want from sport and how important clubs are in their lives. Volunteers running clubs also told us that they need more support to make that experience as great as possible, to ultimately retain and attract new young people to sport and their clubs.

In partnership with Club Matters, we have developed a brand new workshop to support you to do that.  The workshop covers;

– Why delivering a great experience for the young people in your club is important

– How to listen to and respond to the needs of the people in your club and potential members

– What a great club experience looks like and how to deliver this consistently

The workshop is interactive and provides lots of very practical hints and tips that can be taken back to you club. It also provides an invaluable networking opportunity with other like-minded clubs in the area.

We believe it is so important to support clubs be the best they can be that we would like to offer you two free places to attend.

Details of our  workshop are as follows;

Wednesday 25th January 2017 – 7.00 – 9.00pm

Venue: Staffordshire Football Association
Dyson Court Staffordshire Technology Park Beaconside ST18 0LQ

To book, sign up via the Club Matters website. On this web page there is a video you can watch which gives further detail on the workshop.

If you have not registered for a Club Matters workshop before you will need to sign up and register first before booking on the workshop.

Attached is a step-by-step guide on how to do this.

If you have any problems please let me know and I can help you do this.

At this workshop we also have our Sport England  Satellite Club Project Manager attending – Jill Rothwell.  As Jill is in the area she would like to visit a club before the workshop starts. So if your club is on a Wednesday and you could host a visit please let me know.  It would be a great opportunity to showcase your club and share your success with Sport England.

We look forward to seeing you there.
