David Mortimore Sport Development Team Leader Sport Bay of Plenty

Many New Zealanders are, or will, be involved in a sports club at some point in their life.

In whatever capacity it can be a hugely rewarding experience to be a part of club and a fantastic way to get involved with your community and enjoy getting active!

Running a sports club doesn't need to be a complicated task and with the right information you'll be able to achieve your club's goals easily. The Sport Team at Sport Bay of Plenty can provide clubs with advice, guidance and resources for your club, sporting organisation, or school to become more efficient and effective organisations in the delivery of sport.

At Sport Bay of Plenty we work alongside clubs and assist in the development of systems and structures that will ensure they achieve their goals and are sustainable in the future. The things we can assist with includes work on strategic and annual plans, position descriptions for committees, funding advice, project development with councils, coach development, event management and volunteer training.

Over the coming months Sport Bay of Plenty will be hosting a series of club development workshops including sustainable funding, club planning as well as a series of coach development framework sessions.
