Club Development

Welcome to the clubs section of the ACTIVE Berwick website.

Clubs in Berwick can work towards achieving club accreditation. These standards establish that the club is operating to best practice and is a safe and effective place to take part in sport and physical activity. The benefits of becoming accredited are:

·         Acknowledgment that the club meets the needs and demands of athletes

·         Increased revenue opportunities from new members and/or events and local funding streams

·         Safe and effective training and competition environment.

·         Qualified coaches

·         Clear club structures

The common principles of the accreditation schemes are to enhance the clubs by providing a clear structure and pathway for club development. Obtaining the accreditation scheme will signify that the club has satisfactorily met a minimum level of standards recognised by athletes, parents, coaches and volunteers as a quality environment for sport physical activity.

If you are interested in becoming an accredited club please contact Gareth Hill (ACTIVE Berwick Club Development Officer).
