Organisation - Train

Create a safe and inclusive environment — A safe and inclusive environment can foster the development of trust between players on and off the field. It will also positively affect the sense of  camaraderie and group identity with the team or association. As a team leader, manager or player, you directly contribute to the atmosphere and  culture of your team or club. 

Challenge your athlete's abilities appropriately — Coaches are constantly challenged to develop and create drills that are difficult enough to stimulate concentration and favour skill development. One of the most challenging tasks for coaches is handling a player base with varying levels of ability and skill.

Support the development of your women's team leaders and coaches. — The development of women-matching players, their teams and coaches can and should be aided in many different ways.

Elect gender-equity captains — Gender Equity captains are trusted persons that are the first point of contact for gender issues and are responsible for implementing gender  equity measures within the association or the team. Some players already take this responsibility unofficially. However, it is good to make it an  official and clear role within your team or association. 

Junior Mixed Clubs - Have additional open and women's practices and tournaments — Various studies show that young under 17 prefer to participate in sports in a women-only environment. This changes as athletes get older women and more confident in their athletic abilities and social skills.

The benefits of developing leaders in your club — For an organisation to function, it requires the time and effort of volunteers and leaders. It is important not to overwhelm a few with the significant  responsibility to keep an organisation running. By creating a new pathway for leaders, you can make a direct pathway into a leadership position  within the organisation and work to develop the skills of those involved.

Create a mentorship program for coaches and leaders — As important it is for new players, it is also important for new leaders to be supported and guided in their development by an experienced person 

Create a buddy system — Having experienced players act as buddies to new players can help with advice/motivation in a more personal way.

Define seasonal budgets and goals as a team and plan how you will achieve them — Seasonal goals can help your team plan the season and give purpose and direction to the team. To archive those proficiently, clear rules about  the desired commitment from both the players and the association is a must.

Take new players to a fun beginners-only tournament — Your first experience of an ultimate tournament is unique. Allowing new players to experience this only bolsters your chance that they will stay  playing in the club for longer.
