2. We will continue to develop relationships with local primary schools and encourage them to promote our coaching to the children at their schools.

3. We will keep a database of all parents who have contacted us and update them by email or text on what is happening that may interest their children.

4. We will maintain a website, that is informative and sign posts members and those interested in the club effectively.

5. We will continue to run weekly junior sessions with children as young as five joining in.  We plan to run sports camps during the school holidays for members and also to help attract new members.

Assessment

Progress will be assessed by the Club’s committee, who meet at least bi-monthly, and an annual report submitted to the AGM each November. The plan will be updated on an annual basis, in the light of these assessments.
