Club Committee Training

These sessions will equip your committee members with the knowledge and skills to ensure that you have a successful year ahead. Some of you will be returning to your committees in the same or a different role, while others are new to volunteering within the club - whatever your role or experience there will be sessions that you will find valuable!

The aim of holding these sessions over the course of a week is to ensure that you can have a good handover with outgoing committee members and can make a start on the 2023/24 season over the summer to hit the ground running in September. Holding committee training at this time of the year will free up space in the club conference agenda ahead of Welcome Week, on the condition that we get good engagement.

All clubs should have someone attend each training module, though if there is two sessions of a module you only need to attend one – attendance will be taken at each session. Clubs with smaller committees should get in touch with me ASAP and I can help them prioritise what sessions they attend. The modules will be delivered by the SU staff team and Exec members with a mix of in-person and online. We also have a session over Zoom educating people on sport-specific British Sign Language which anyone can attend.

Please ensure you are discussing attendance as a committee and that you limit attendance to any in-person sessions to two per club.

Something missing?

We're always looking to develop our offering to better support our coaches, officials and volunteers, therefore it would be fantastic to hear any suggestions you have for events, CPD or training. We are open to all ideas - the bigger, the better - so please feel free to send them on to eusu.cva@ed.ac.uk.
