Club Development

Clubs are more than just teams of players; they are the heart of Scottish Hockey. Clubs are where friendships form, skills develop and players experience hockey. Clubs are the foundation for hockey’s reputation as a fantastic social and family sport, all the more reason to secure strong clubs now and for the future.

What makes a strong club?

A strong club has an organised committee, enthusiastic volunteers and a range of fun activities that meet the needs of its members and attract new ones. Strength isn’t just about a clubs size or league position; instead it’s about good structure in core areas.

How strong is your club?

Is your club as strong as it could be? Do you ever struggle to put a team out, attract volunteers or make things happen? Well-structured clubs are more organised, get more people involved and increase satisfaction of their members. Well-structured clubs get more people playing, improve the standard of play and therefore attract more potential members.

In this section of the website we provide resources that can help you club develop. Start with the quiz above and then look at  the Initial Club Action Plan, designed to help your club get core building blocks of structure in order to run activities smoothly at any level and to grow if desired. Then access the resources as required through the links on the right of the page.

By developing your club, you’re helping Hockey develop. More participants bring pressure on players at all levels to improve and as hockey develops, more interest from media and sponsors will create a higher profile for the sport.

Support is always available but it’s up to you, strong club's are made by strong members.
