Constitution
A constitution sets out the purpose and rules of your sports club. It is the basic document which helps to ensure smooth and proper running of your affairs. Typically, the constitution will set out:
• The objectives for your club (e.g. what you want to do or provide for your members).
• the different forms of membership (e.g. adult, junior, social) and perhaps their subscription rates
• The rules by which your club will operate.
• How the affairs of the club are to be managed (e.g. by officers and a committee).
• How the members control the club, usually through an annual general meeting.
All sports clubs should have a proper constitution. The accompanying templates in the resources section of the site offer very detailed examples of a constitution, however not all the elements will be relevant to every club and they should be amended or deleted as appropriate. Your club’s constitution may need to reduce or increase the officers and committee members dependant on the number of volunteers available to fill the positions.
Please read the committee section for more information.
