Our Goals

Our goals are to address three issues through continued development of GITG.

Firstly, our aim is to assist national sports governing bodies to develop and promote a greater level of grassroots participation in their sport and help clubs to better inform their local communities about the opportunities that they provide.

Secondly, as an owner of a local sports club for 4 years, Paul discovered how expensive local promotion can be and hence how difficult it was to attract new members to the club.

As he remembers, ‘I must have spent quite a few thousand pounds in my time at Welling Snooker Club in an effort to attract new members to the club but with varied success. Whilst my established members were the lifeblood of the club in terms of keeping it viable as a going concern in the short-term, my ability to attract new members, particularly juniors, had a direct correlation to the longer-term prospects of the club. With GITG we hope to provide a medium through which sports enthusiasts and participants can keep abreast of developments within their local clubs and hence encourage increased participation and involvement.’

Finally, the aim of GITG is to serve as a central forum whereby people can learn about how to get involved in a wide variety of different sports, communicate with others who share similar interests, follow the latest news and events from their local clubs, as well as their sport in general, and find information to help them further develop their skills through coaching articles and competition news.

We also strive to make the site to be a valuable resource for parents with children who have taken a serious interest in a particular sport and want to find out more about what is involved, and how best to develop and encourage their interest as they progress.

All this and much more can be achieved for free by subscribing to local clubs and accredited coaches from their applicable profile pages, which in turn provides a live feed of their latest content via the ‘MY GITG’ option, available to all registered users.

Club Owners and Coaches

If you own or manage a sports club, or you are an accredited sports coach and wish to gain administrative access to your GITG profile page, please contact us via our contact page. Alternatively, find the applicable profile page via our search/find a club options and follow the instructions contained within the page itself (registration is required).

There is no cost to clubs or accredited coaches to administer or upload content or information to their own profile page. Conversely, if you find that your club is not listed on GITG please let us know by using the ‘Suggest a Club/Coach’ tab on our home page so that we can add your club to the site immediately.

Thank you for visiting Get Into The Game, and we sincerely hope it becomes a useful resource for you as we continue to develop and improve every aspect of the website.
