Following the success of the club developer programme in 2012, Derbyshire Sport, on behalf of Derbyshire County Council is again looking to invest funding to support the development of clubs within the boundaries of Derbyshire County Council. This support will be provided through individuals known as ‘Club Developers’ and who will work with selected clubs on a one-to-one basis for a short period of time.
Club Developers is part of Derbyshire Sport’s 2012 Legacy Programme. It is hoped that an additional 32 sport clubs will be supported through one-to-one support and become more strongly linked to the work of the key partners within the sports infrastructure in Derbyshire, utilise the products and services available to them and where appropriate complete a development plan for the club, steered by the needs and wants of the club.
The attached document explains the Club Developer programme and how to apply. As we have sufficient funding to support only 32 clubs, the application process and references are very important to ensure that we can offer the most effective support to the correct clubs.
The applications will need to be supported by the local authority and/or the National governing body/county association of their sport. I would be very grateful if you would promote the programme to your clubs and discuss if it would be appropriate for them to apply and support them in their applications.
Key Dates:
- Applications open 3rd June 2013
- Applications close 30th June 2013
- Clubs selected and invited to the programme 29th July
- Clubs assigned to a ‘Club developer’ 31st July
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best Wishes
