ClubsFirst
Following hard work from a number of club members CTHC successfully achieved ClubsFirst status in January 2011.
ClubsFirst is England Hockey's accreditation scheme for club's. It is a national recognition of club's that can demonstrate they are working towards minimum operating standards.
Club's that achieve ClubsFirst are recognised as working towards providing a safe, effective and child friendly hockey environment. Clubs that achieve ClubsFirst clubs also receive the Club Mark award.
For the club to continue to grow and to have young players as members of the club, it has been imperative that CTHC achieved this status. Clubs that don't hold the ClubsFirst accreditation may, in the future, be prevented from having players under the age of 18 as members.
In addition, going through the process of completing the ClubsFirst application has helped ensure that CTHC has in place strong policies and systems for dealing with many issues. These include emergency procedures, ensuring every team has someone with First Aid and Child Protection accreditations, clearer record keeping and coaching programmes.
Although a small group of volunteers completed the majority of work for this major project you can still get involved in helping the club maintain the standard it has reached. If you possess current qualifications in First Aid, umpiring, coaching or just want to get involved in the management of the club then please let Chris Ashton know.
