Sporting clubs will have the chance to take part in online workshops designed to help them navigate through the current landscape caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Valley Sport said the sessions were set to begin a fortnight ago and would run every second Wednesday, with three sessions during the day.
Each session will be capped at 10 attendees and will be available at 10 am, 1 pm and 6 pm.
“Valley Sport are looking at a workshop series to help engage clubs and provide information about how to stay connected and viable through the current environment,” Valley Sport said.
“Our first session, titled ‘Goulburn Valley's State of Play’, will look at the current environment and how clubs are affected.”
The first session focused on three topics — the latest update from sporting codes (specific to those sports in attendance of each session), tips for staying connected with members and sponsors, and tips for when sport returns.
The workshops will cover governance, finances and club committee composition.
Valley Sport believes its online workshops will be different to others recently announced.
“Valley Sport understands each club is unique and that tailored support to meet each club's needs is required.
“We’ve seen a lot of online programs announced recently, however we believe that these have been quite generic in nature and make assumptions that all clubs are in fact equal and, therefore, all require the same advice and support.
“With an aim on designing a specific program, we have designed online sessions to be dynamic interactive discussions — a space where clubs can ask questions and network with other clubs (even from other sporting codes) as to how things are going at this stage for them.”
