The need for high quality data relating to the size of the sports club market is highlighted by the wide variation between these estimates. Clubs are at the heart of the Core Market and therefore it is important that Sport England has the fullest intelligence possible on an area in which it will invest considerably over the next four years. 2 Our Approach The SIRC team used a similar approach to the Ecorys research, by contacting National Governing Bodies of sport directly to access their database of affiliated clubs. In all cases the research team agreed access on the understanding that as data 'owners', NGBs retained the right to decide what data could be shared, and how it could be used. The final dataset includes records of clubs affiliated to 95 NGBs, covering 85 sports. 3 Results 3.1 Initial Findings On the basis of the data gathered for this research, there are 74,233 sports clubs affiliated to English or English-based NGBs. Of these, 66,157 were mapped within England, and a further 1,898 clubs which were affiliated to the same NGBs were located outside the country (3% of the total). Scaling up to the overall sample gives an estimated figure of 72,117 (97% 0f 74,233). The ten most popular sports are responsible for 67% of the clubs affiliated to English or English-based governing bodies, with the next ten sports accounting for a further 16%. Clubs in four sports (Football, Cricket, Bowls and Tennis) make up just over half of all sports clubs in England. 3.2 Local Authority Level Eight of the top 20 councils in terms of the number of sports clubs, are unitary authorities corresponding roughly to traditional county boundaries, while the remaining 12 are metropolitan boroughs. An analysis of raw counts at local authority is useful, but by standardising for population size, it is possible to make a more meaningful comparison between areas, and reveals a different pattern in terms of club provision. The 20 local authorities with the fewest clubs are predominantly, but not exclusively, in remote rural areas. When standardised by population a different story emerges, with provision of clubs per 100,000 people highest in the two smallest authorities (Scilly and the City of London). In contrast, Kensington and Chelsea has the lowest number of clubs per 100,000 of any local authority in the country. 3.3 County Sports Partnership Level At County Sports Partnership level, the pattern of club provision is simpler to determine. With the exception of Devon, all of the top ten CSPs are located either in the South East or around Northern Metropolitan cities. The capital accounts for 9% of all clubs, while the top ten CSPs account for 40% of England's clubs overall. Standardising by population paints an entirely different picture of provision. The ratio of clubs per 100,000 people is lowest in Birmingham and London, while the highest figures are in Avon (Westport) and Shropshire. 3 3.4 Deprivation Level The use of postcode data to locate affiliated clubs also permits an analysis of distribution by deprivation, as clubs can be mapped to the 2015 Indices of Multiple Deprivation. This presents an opportunity to consider the impact of deprivation levels on access to sports clubs. In the majority of the most popular sports, there is a tendency for clubs to be located in less deprived areas. There are few sports which run counter to this trend, though boxing is a notable exception, with almost three quarters of affiliated clubs located in the most deprived parts of England. 4 Constraints and Limitations The processes and procedures involved in compiling the data for this research were designed to provide a comprehensive dataset which could be mapped and analysed in a variety of ways. The exercise was successful in gathering data on a significant number of clubs from a wide variety of sports, but the research operated under a number of limitations. 4.1 What Constitutes a Club? NGBs in different sports continue to define their 'clubs' differently. There are also significant differences between NGBs in the way they compile and maintain data relating to their clubs. Nevertheless, there are a number of examples of good practice, and the desire to maintain or move towards Open Data standards was noted by several NGBs. 4.2 Data Protection and Sharing The Data Protection Act 1998 was cited by a number of governing bodies and CSPs as a constraint on the sharing of club data. A small number of NGBs remained reluctant to share data for an exercise of this nature, particularly those which had invested a significant amount of their own resources in producing club databases. Most governing bodies and CSPs contacted during the data collection phase of the study shared data directly with the team, but some preferred to direct SIRC researchers towards resources posted on their websites. Data on NGB websites is subject to error, omission and formatting issues, all of which require time

  • Mbe for Maggie Active Rugby
    August 2012 Issue 148 The Official Newspaper of The RFU and RFUW BEAUMONT MBE FOR MAGGIE Julia Hutton BECOMES England Women’s flanker Margaret Alphonsi was recently honoured with an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list. One of the most well-known names in women’s rugby, with RFU her barnstorming performances during the 2010 Rugby World Cup earning her fans all around the world, the 28 year old was honoured for her services to rugby. CHAIRMAN Making her debut as a 19 year old against the USA in 2003, Alphonsi now has an impressive 63 caps and has played in two XVs Rugby World Cups (2006 & 2010) where England finished second to New Zealand on both occasions. She also featured in the inaugural 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens, where England lifted the Plate. Most recently, Alphonsi was part of the England team that defeated the world champions New Zealand in an historic three-Test series last autumn, as well as helping England to a record-breaking seventh consecutive Six Nations title, and a sixth Grand Slam in seven years. England also became the first team in Six Nations history not to concede a try in that tournament. “I’m so pleased to have been given this great honour by HRH, the Queen,” said Alphonsi. “What makes it so special is that it doesn’t just recognise my own personal achievements but that of the England team – I wouldn’t have received this had it not been for the hard work and dedication of the RFU and my England teammates.

  • Club Sports Handbook 2014-2015
    Club Sports Handbook 2014-2015 Introduction There are currently Competitive Sports and Recreational Sports Clubs administered by the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Center for Intercollegiate Athletics & Recreation (CIAR) and Center for Campus Life (CCL) and recognized by Student Government (SG). Each club is comprised of enthusiastic, hardworking, and dedicated athletes who organize, fund, and promote their clubs with the ultimate goal of competing against other colleges on both a regional and national level, or playing recreationally for the love of sports. Sports Clubs provide unique opportunities for students to participate, compete, and develop skills in a variety of sports. These clubs actively recruit both new and experienced student athletes during the year, and through weekly practices, prepare for intercollegiate competitions. Competitive Sports Clubs are governed by regulations of both the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics & Recreation and the Sports Club Federation. The success of the Club Sports Program at RIT is the result of dedicated student leaders volunteering their time, effort, and guidance to their respective clubs. Sport club officers provide strong leadership as well as a vision that carries each club into the new academic year. This handbook has been created to assist you and to develop the continuity in the administration and creation of the Club Sports Program. Contained in this handbook are the policies and procedures that each competitive sports club is expected to follow. We hope this will be a useful resource throughout the implementation of and future longevity of the program at RIT. Good luck to you and your clubs this year! 2 Overview What is a Competitive Sports Club? A Competitive Sports Club (CSC) is comprised of a group of students enrolled at RIT who form an organization to practice and compete in a sport.

I have visited approximately half the Clubs in Cheshire and hope during my second year to have visited the vast majority of our member clubs. I have been to clubs who are playing in the National Leagues and the next visit has been to a club struggling to put out one team at the lowest league level. The striking feature of all clubs is the hard work and dedication of the volunteers many of them past players of advancing years who, week after week, in all weathers turn up to do their regular tasks and support their team.
