Within our Sport Development team, the Canterbury West Coast Sports Trust work with clubs and regional sports organisations (RSOs) to help them develop into more capable and effective organisations; ultimately enhancing participation in sport. 
The Sport Development team has the philosophy that “sport owns sport”; which means that sports are responsible for running their own sport. Our work is focused on supporting and advising sporting organisations, ensuring that they are able to deliver their sport, and do so in a sustainable and valued way.
There are a variety of different things that clubs and RSOs can do to improve themselves, and we are able to facilitate a variety of opportunities to enable sports to offer a better service to their members.
The Sport Development team has a wealth of knowledge and experience that sports clubs and organisations are able to tap into for assistance in the following areas: Sport Consultancy, ClubMark, CoachForce, and Officiating.
