Sports Community has developed a wide range of training sessions and workshops designed to empower community sports club and association volunteers to undertake their roles successfully.
Sports Community is proud to be an approved presenter on the Queensland Government’s Department of National Parks, Sport and Recreation Building Active Communities and the Government of Western Australia Department of Sport and Recreation’s Sports and Business Workshops club development programs.
Between 2013 – 2015 Sports Community delivered over 320 training sessions around the country in most metropolitan centres as well as rural, regional and remote locations around Australia such as Gove, Katherine and Alice Springs in the Northern Territory, Tom Price and Paraburdoo in the Pilbara in Western Australia and Mount Isa in outback Queensland.
Our extensive experience in developing and delivering workshops has allowed us to develop our Volunteer Development Pathway which allows us to tailor programs for volunteers and administrators of all levels of experience and responsibility.

Club Development Training is Evolving.
To increase the effectiveness and accessibility of our training format for volunteers, Sports Community has taken its training online. As well as our in person workshops, all Sports Community training sessions are now also available as a live webinar (broadcast directly from our studio) or as an online, on demand training session accessed from sportscommunity.com.au.
Our partners are now creating club development training programs which incorporate not only our traditional “live” workshops and training sessions but also incorporate live webinars and online training (accessible 24/7 by volunteers) into their training strategies.
