CAPS and CLUBMARK . . .
Here's our certificate!
What is it?
Club Action Planning Scheme
CAPS helps Netball clubs function in the most efficient way, with the least long-term hassle. It is directly linked to Sport England’s Clubmark scheme and it’s all about good practice in the development of players, coaches and umpires at all levels.
CAPS takes accepted sports development ideas and makes them flexible enough to fit in with your club’s current activities: YOUR needs, YOUR goals and YOUR values.
It’s not just about paperwork and filling in forms. In fact, most clubs find that the CAPS process highlights all the good development work that they are already doing. This clarifies roles and gives help and positive encouragement to new volunteers – those who might usually hesitate before coming forward.
In today’s society, CAPS offers a way of maximising SAFE and CHILD-FRIENDLY activities.
In line with the Clubmark award, CAPS focuses on four key areas that impact Netball clubs:
- Duty of Care and Child Protection,
- Coaching and Competition,
- Club Management/ Administration,
- Sports Equity and Ethics.
- CAPS offers Bronze, Silver and Gold levels of achievement, highlighting further development work whilst ensuring that all clubs have the chance to shine.
CAPS brings many benefits to participating clubs. Players, coaches and umpires are offered a clear development pathway by the club’s high profile and publicity.
Community links are created and strengthened. These help to attract more members, spread the administrative workload and increase the possibility of securing funding or better facilities.
As well as providing benefits at the local level, CAPS is the gateway to a strong regional and national network of support and communication:
Put your club in the position where England Netball and Sport England can offer the help that you need.
