CLUBS ON TRACK

After a review of the process held in 2010, Clubs on Track was re- introduced and clubs once again completed the self-assessment survey. All clubs were issued the relevant data ANSW had on file, and in turn, clubs completed sections relating to coaching and officiating, membership, marketing and promotion, competition and events, and administration.

Most clubs engaged with the process in full and in turn provided honest feedback about the health of their organisation and a sincere thank you to the 55 presidents, registrars or other club volunteers who gave their time to complete the form.

Completion of the COT survey allows ANSW to identify where clubs are achieving and where they require further support, so it is disappointing that some clubs failed to complete the survey. It is hoped for future rollouts of COT that all clubs can participate fully in the program.
