General club planning information

Clubs/federations can have the best intentions, but if they do not plan their
activities for the future, their survival and/or growth are at risk.

Planning ahead in all areas of operation is important if your club/federation is to
succeed.

Why plan?
Whether at international, national or local level, Pacific sporting clubs/federations
need to plan ahead in order to survive and grow.

Planning helps to:
• look at where the club/federation has come from and where it is now, where it
wants to go and how it is going to get there
• identify the main goals of the club/federation
• encourage the members to get involved in the development of the club/
federation
• adjust to changes in the current environment that have an impact on the club/
federation
• make sure that resources (human, physical and financial) are used effectively
• evaluate the performance of the club/federation
• bring order into the hectic business of running a club/federation.

Activity 7.1

Are there other benefits that planning could bring for your club/federation?
