Club Development
The Sports Development team recognises the valuable role sports clubs, volunteers and coaches play in encouraging more people to take up and stay in sport. We also recognise the vital part sports clubs play within Blackburn with Darwen’s local communities to increase participation in sport.
The Sports Development team are committed to offer support, advice and guidance to sports clubs facing challenges to provide high quality and friendly environments for young participants.
Our vision is:
“To have in place a diverse range of, and an effective means of communication with, local accredited sports clubs, with successful coaches, volunteers and officials, who are happy in the role they play, gaining help, training and development whenever required, in the facilities required.”
We aim to provide prioritised support and coordination to local sports clubs and assist in their development through the gaining of ClubMark or National Governing Body accreditation. In order to do this we offer subsidised courses to sports clubs and volunteers who have or are working towards ClubMark.
The sports developments’ Club, Coach & Volunteer Education Schedule offers a comprehensive range of national governing body awards as well as a wide range of coach and volunteer development courses from Sports Coach UK and Running Sports.
