Club Assist

Bowls Victoria’s Member Resource Hub.

Resources for sustainable club management.

Operating a sports club today is very different from what is what 20 years ago. There is more expectations and responsibilites on club managers and volunteers to be across all areas of running a small business. 

It’s important to ensure that anyone responsible for an area at your club has the applicable skills and knowledge. Club Assist aims to provide key information across business administration, laws and legislation, insurance, marketing, hospitality, finance and membership management.

Bowls Victoria is committed to helping Victorian clubs grow and prosper, which is why we have developed this Member area full of essential support services to assist your club and your volunteers.
