Club SportEd - 2008!
In 2007 SportEd worked closely with a number of councils looking at strategies working with clubs within their municipality to expand/ develop programs to assist in club development.
After a successful year we are pleased to announce the following Local Government Agencies have joined our ever growing network: Banyule City Council, The City of Casey, City of Yarra and Kingston City Council.
As part of these strategies, the three councils are organising workshops throughout the year for clubs to attend and gain some valuable information to assist them while running their clubs. The workshops are aimed at committees, coaches, parents, players and officials. Clubs can attend these workshops free of charge and accredited coaches can gain updating points by attending.
Please visit the CALENDAR page for the workshops scheduled in 2008. Keep an eye on this page as more workshops will be added throughout the year!
To register you attendance at a workshop, you must email or call the council* hosting the workshop with:
