England Netball CAPS (Club Action Planning Scheme)

What does CAPS mean?

England Netball's CAPS accreditation scheme and Sport England's Club Mark show that a club is an effective, quality and child friendly netball environment.

Why CAPS?

Does your club or team need new players, officials or volunteers? Are you interested in developing young players and applying for funding? Feel like you have no time to try out new ideas?

If your answer is YES to any of these questions then Club Action Planning Scheme is for you! CAPS helps Netball Clubs function in the most efficient way, with least long term hassle. In today's society, CAPS offers a way of maximising quality and child friendly activities.

CAPS offers Bronze, Silver and Gold Levels of achievement, highlighting further development work whilst ensuring that all clubs have the chance to shine.

It’s not just about paperwork and filling in forms. In fact, most clubs find that the CAPS process highlights all the good development work that they are already doing. This clarifies roles and gives help and positive encouragement to new volunteers – those who might usually hesitate before coming forward.

In line with the Clubmark award, CAPS focuses on four key areas that impact Netball clubs:

• Duty of Care and Child Protection
• Coaching and Competition
• Club Management/ Administration
• Sports Equity and Ethics

CAPS offers:

• A clear development pathway for members – current and potential.
• Increased confidence in a club’s life span.
• Publicity.
• High profile exposure through Sport England, England Netball and other agencies.
• Increased efficiency to activity.
• More links with a local community.
• High standards.
• More members – coaches, umpires and players.
• A successful method of spreading a club’s workload.
• Increased possibility of securing funding or upgraded facilities.
• Opportunities to expand a club’s volunteer base.
• A strong local and national support network.

CAPS requires:

• A commitment to development and good, effective practise.

Who will support a club through the CAPS process?

• Netball Development Co-ordinator (County Sports Partnership)
• Club Development Officer (County Sports Partnership)
• England Netball Regional Manager
• England Netball Regional Administrator
