Summary of motivations

  • Motivations vary : between individual players and between groups
  • Many players are more motivated to develop and improve (training) than by playing competitively
  • Most current players do not wish to use club sessions to play casual games

ACTION: Planners and coaches will be guided by this understanding

Actions for planning

  • Plan and run outdoor summer sessions at Lydiard Park (agree organisers and start date)
  • Enter indoor league teams for season 2018/19 (agree which women’s leagues to enter)
  • Discuss with individual volunteers how they can help the club

 

Individual player comments and suggestions:  Juniors U13

  • Like the small group (x2)
  • Like playing for fun, not just compete and win
  • Enjoy participating in training
  • We could coach ourselves, so we communicate more
  • We could benefit from more serving practice
  • Some sessions could be longer, eg 6-8pm (x2)
  • Would like Saturday or Sunday, could we start at 5pm?

 

Individual player comments and suggestions:  Women

  • Like playing as a team and in tournaments
  • Enjoy gathering to play with all ages, abilities, genders (x2)
  • Enjoy overlapping women and men sessions, practicing against a stronger team (x2)
  • 8-10pm session is tricky for work/school next day, can we start earlier? (x3)
  • Ideally train more than once a week to improve skills
  • Ideally have a regular coach (more often) to help the team develop
  • Maybe some players take a coaching course
  • Would like more social opportunities to get to know other members (x2)
  • It would be helpful if more women members helped at the men’s home matches

 

Individual player comments and suggestions:  Men

  • Love the camaraderie, teamwork, team spirit, supportive atmosphere, friendly and welcoming attitude, welcoming juniors, giving everyone opportunity to play (x6)
  • Generally satisfied to be a club member
  • Lime Kiln location is right, maybe hold extra sessions elsewhere if necessary
  • Ideally mid-week training from 7 or 8pm when there is a match on Sunday
  • More serious approach to game and focus on team improvement
  • More game time in training to improve
  • Focus training on key skills that need to improve (eg 3 weeks in a row, eg on receiving and passing)
  • Would welcome individual feedback on strengths and areas to improve (polite and constructive)
  • Ideally more people to take responsibility to help run the club

 

 

ACTIONS

  • Club planners and coaches will be guided by this understanding
  • Organise more social events (we need volunteers?!)
