Doncaster Council

Introduction

Planning and Support (PS) develop the more traditional areas of sports development. The team provide support in the following areas.

1. Coach Education Programme
2. Disability and equity sport
3. Performance and Sport Specific Development
4. Facility Development
5. Club Development
6. Funding advice              

Planning and Support has assisted a number of clubs and groups to improve both their delivery to the members and help encourage more people to volunteer and take part in sport and physical activity.

Through partnership working with Doncaster College, we successfully organise over 40 coach education courses per year. We have also helped a number of clubs meet Football Association Charter Standard Award and are supporting £5 million pounds of investment into football specific facilities within Doncaster.

In addition, a number of sports festivals and clubs have been developed or assisted in the past few years. These include the All Together Disability sports club, the establishment of Asian women's swimming sessions and a number of events, including the St Leger half marathon and Doncaster tag rugby festival.
