School-Club Links

Active Schools work closely with local sports clubs and recreation clubs to provide children with additional opportunities to participate in physical activity. School- Club links are essential in providing pathways towards a healthy and active lifestyle. Clubs can benefit greatly from raising their profile in the community, expanding their junior membership, sharing resources, gaining access to additional facilities as well as coach and volunteer development.

What can Active Schools do for the Club?

Active Schools can:

· Promote the club within the local schools

· Distribute club promotional material

· Provide facilities by offering school sites for the club to run sessions

· Coordinate a block of extra curricular sessions

· Coordinate a block of curricular sessions

· Invite club coaches to speak about their club in school assemblies

· Coordinate/support club open days/fun sessions at the school

 

What does the club need to do?

There are a variety of ways that a School-Club Link can be created, each
requiring input from the club and Active Schools. Depending on the link that
is created the club would typically be expected to:

· Provide training information/promotional material for distribution

· Appoint a School-Club Link liaison contact

· Help find coaches to deliver a block of activity/taster event in local schools (curricular or extra curricular)

· Allow Active Schools to access club registers to monitoring children participating

· Inform Active Schools of any club/athlete achievements

 

If your club would like to create, or develop a current School-Club Link, contact your local Active Schools Coordinator.
