Club Excel

Club Excel is Scottish Hockey’s new and improved club development programme to help clubs on their journey to achieve their goals and aspirations.

At the heart of Club Excel is a club’s values and mission, which is central to the club’s area of focus and development opportunities within the Club Excel pillars. These pillars are Places; Play; and People, and all pillars are wrapped in culture; governance and communication.

Scottish Hockey will assist clubs as they develop their own path through Club Excel and achieve their ambitions through the programme.

PLACES 

The Places pillar has three separate elements that clubs can progress through to achieve the pillar.

Clubs can work through Places by setting and achieving objectives, whether they own, lease, or have aspiration to own a facility.

  • Owning
  • Leasing 
  • Aspirational

PLAY 

The Play pillar is for clubs who want to focus on developing their on-pitch offering.

Whether clubs want to focus on developing their offering around introducing people to the sport; hockey as part of their active living; developing players to competition level; or alignment to national programmes to develop Scotland players, a bespoke plan can be created to gain the Play badge.

  •  Fun Start 
  • Active Living 
  • Competition
  • National Programme Alignment

PEOPLE 

The People pillar is for clubs who want to focus on developing the people within their club.

This focus can be on either, or combining, developing people within their workforce; their membership; or in the wider community.

  • Workforce 
  • Membership 
  • Wider Community
