• How do the two search types differ?
  
  Searching on GITG comes in two flavours. You may either search for a specific club, coach, association or article using the search box at the top of every page or alternatively undertake a geographical search from our home page which will bring up a list of the nearest available results according to your chosen postcode.
  
  By clicking on to the name of the club, coach or article from the results you will then be able to read about latest club news, the facilities that each club has to offer and any special promotional offers which they may be running. Furthermore, once registered, you will be able to contact each club or coach directly, via email, or link to their own website. You can also subscribe to the club or coach so that any latest news or articles will filter straight through to your ‘My GITG’ account.



• What is the auction and how do I bid?
  
  On the front page of our website you will be able to take part in charity auctions at selected times whereby we will auction off an article of sporting memorabilia with all the proceeds going to our chosen stated charity.
These auctions will be conducted on eBay, so it will be necessary to have an eBay account to bid.

• Where can I find out more about a particular sport?
  
  The ‘List Sports’ option (navigation button) provides a mini page for each sport, detailing how to become involved in the chosen sport, the basics of the game and allowing you to follow global news events as they happen from around the world. You can also read the most popular news articles written by professional coaches from within the GITG community and comment on and rate these accordingly.
  
  
• My coach or club is not listed. Why is that?

Alternatively, if you are an officially recognised coach or are the manager or owner of a bona fide sports club and cannot find your club on GITG.co.uk then please complete our enquiry form in ‘Suggest a Club/Coach’ so that we can include your club on the website.
