Club Spot training and resource hub

We are proud to have the following Club Spot partners

Club Spot is Revolutionising the way we Support Clubs

Club Spot Online Training and Resource Hub is a support system licensed by councils, peak bodies and government agencies and then provided to your grassroots sports clubs as a customised free resource designed specifically to help them grow, strengthen and succeed year on year.

The training and support resources will help to ease the workload for councils, peak bodies and governments by delivering training and support for constituent clubs in a cost-effective, accessible way.
Support your clubs and their volunteers.

 

The training and resources found at Club Spot will train and support volunteers to effectively run, grow and strengthen their clubs.
​
Council, peak body and government staff who wish to actively support their clubs may also find this content useful. You can use the training resources we provide as well as adding your own.

As well as the training and resources clubs will also be provided with ongoing monthly email support guiding them through all of the important tasks that need to be completed for their club during that specific time of the season. We provide easy to follow checklists to ensure no job is missed and each task will be linked to the best resource available in the country, to help clubs complete the tasks.

How does Club Spot work?

1. Peak bodies, councils and government agencies subscribe to Club Spot on behalf of your community sports clubs and their volunteers. Packages are great value no matter how many clubs you are looking to support. For all pricing information please contact our ‘National Community Partnerships Manager’ Pam on pamela@sportscommunity.com.au or (03) 5973 6404.

2. Each of your affiliated clubs will be given a membership that will allow them to register their volunteers. All volunteers will then have unlimited access to all of the resources and training programs, as well as receive monthly guidance and support via email.

3. There is also the option for Club Spot to host any other resources you would like your clubs to be able to access.

What Training and resources are included in Club Spot?

Currently there are over 23 training videos – over 20 hours of training – available to view, with additional training sessions and resources being added regularly throughout each year. These will include training videos, templates, letter examples, checklists, worksheets and more. For the latest list of resources available, please contact us.
Your peak body, council or government agency can also add your own resources for your clubs and associations to access.
