Q: I’m on the committee of our cricket club and we find it difficult to get everyone involved. It always feels as though it’s the same two or three people doing the work to make sure the club functions. We’d like to get some advice or ideas on how other clubs structure their committees and share the workload?
A: I’m the head coach of a cricket club in South Africa. Be are focused on development and grassroots cricket (under 7 - under 13)
We have a club constitution, which is the clubs rules and regulations, as well as the laws for the committee. We have a committee of 6 volunteers. Head coach, club captain, club secretary, club chair, treasurer and social media. Each member is responsible for something in the club. If one of them don’t the work…then the only people that suffer are the players.
I feel that if you give each member a weekly responsibility..whether it’s social media posting or confirmation of fixtures and grounds, the club runs quite smoothly.
