Club Development Plan
The ECB has introduced a standard approach to strategic planning within cricket clubs. Accredited clubs are required to complete a club development plan setting out the objectives, actions and costs associated with their development needs.
Without a club development plan, it will become increasingly difficult for community cricket clubs to attract support, time, resources and investment into their club.
In simple terms a club development plan demonstrates why a cricket club wants support, time, resources and investment and what the cricket club is going to do as a result of this investment.
In line with other accredited clubs Brewood CC is required to write and submit their club development plan in a specified format and submit it to the Staffordshire Cricket Board for approval.
The ECB have developed a Club Development Planning Resource to support clubs writing their club development plan and Maggie Morris Brewood CC Club Development Officer uses this to set out the aims and objectives of Brewood CC. The amount of information required to point us to our future needs is considerable and requires the input of many people within the club to complete the Plan. If anyone is interested in helping Maggie with the Development Plan please contact her.
