Club Benefits Package

Tees Valley Sport can offer clubs an excellent level of support through our Club Benefits Package. Available to most sports clubs in the Tees Valley the package on offer provides a number of key benefits including;

• Free/Discounted places on training courses
• Help with funding bids and development plans
• Funding towards gaining coaching qualifications (Levels 1-4)
• Specific sports science awards
• Help to increase school-club links
• Mentoring opportunities 

Funding secured through Sport England has transformed the support that we are able to provide through the Benefits Package. Around £100,000 of funding is now available to help clubs upskill their coaches, officials and volunteers. The clubs are able to secure 50% funding to support coaches wishing to gain NGB qualifications and they can access our generic course programme and sports science programme free of charge. We are also working closely with clubs and NGBs to ensure all of their training needs are met before March 2009.

Find out how some of our clubs are currently using this funding in our Club Case Studies section.

We are also able to assist the development of community and voluntary sector organisations delivering sport at a neighbourhood level. Funding is available to help youth workers, neighbourhood wardens, community development staff and local residents gain NGB qualifications through links with StreetGames projects.  

It is still possible for clubs to sign up to the current Benefits Package, we would strongly recommend that any clubs contact Louise Trillo urgently as we will close access to the package shortly.
