What is 'Club Affiliation'?
ClubSport Stirling is an organisation which works in partnership with Active Stirling to support Stirling’s local sports clubs. When a club affiliates to ClubSport Stirling, they will benefit from the support and advice from their designated Sports Development Officer with regards to the club's individual aspirations and future achievements.
Our aim is to develop clubs in the following areas:
- Building strong effective pathways from participation to performance
- Creating links across local schools, clubs and communities
- Delivering both quality and accessible sporting opportunities
- Building a sustainable volunteer infrastructure within clubs
- Creating a coaching pathway in Stirling
