Your club’s constitution should set out how your club is to be managed, who manages it, what authority different office bearers have and how problems are to be solved if they arise.  

Whether your club has been established as a company or an association, office bearers through the committee (sometimes called the 'committee of management' or 'board') are responsible for managing the activities of the club.

Club management is different from governance. Club management is primarily concerned with the day-to-day operations of a club, such as the conduct of competitions whilst governance, on the other hand, focuses on the systems and structures by which a club is directed and controlled.

In this section, there is a range of information to assist your committee of management or board to successfully manage your club.
