New club in special sports

We work in a structured way with those of you who have the desire and courage to establish a new special team in your club:

We invite you to special sports courses.
We make an educational plan
We help with recruitment
We’ll be there for the first few training sessions if you need us to be.
We help in the long run – both in terms of retention and inclusion in the club.

Experienced special sports club

We also focus on those of you who already have a special team and would like to have even more members:

We help with recruitment
We are happy to provide first aid to special teams in need
We work with club readiness and volunteering – also when you have a disability
We leverage our network with other clubs for your benefit
You have free access to the specialsport guide, no matter where in the country your club is located

The target audience

Let it be broad and diverse – across different types of special needs. The group becomes more harmonious and balanced when everyone is not challenged in the same areas. Later you can define more precisely when you see who is included.

Coaches and volunteers

The less experience with the target group you have, the more tools we use – but there is no requirement for trainers to have any special skills or knowledge. But it’s good to have a lot of taking care of the team, because then it’s much easier to start a sports party that the participants can become a part of.

Track time and facilities

Yes – right where everyone else wants to be… Monday-Friday 16-18, or Saturday at 10 am… or just whatever is possible 🙂 Preferably near the club…

Practical planning

There must be an option for online trial registration – can easily be done through Specialsport.dk. The price must reflect the club’s other membership fees.

Recruitment

We start with an online Facebook campaign and supplement with flyers to the nearest special schools. Then we do visits and school collaborations… the goal is to start with a few participants and slowly build up to 10-15 participants after a year. It is not an advantage to start many!

Startup

Now it’s time to find welcome gifts for the new members! Preferably a shirt or something else cool with a club logo on it… in general, this team can’t have too many gifts and medals.

Inclusion & community life

First, we need to work on the team spirit and good energy within the team and with the coaching staff. After a year, work systematically to find good ways for the team to contribute to the greater community of the club through visibility, participation and volunteering. Still on very specific terms, depending on opportunities and skills.
