What can my club do in 2020?
In 2019, clubs reported that 13% of volunteers involved in NatWest CricketForce were new to the club, over 25% were female and 36% were under the age of 24 – what can your club do to engage and retain new volunteers?
Can NatWest CricketForce act as the platform to recruit more volunteers into your club? Could you host a ‘Parent Engagement Evening’ at the club as an opportunity for parents of the new recruits to ‘Get Involved’? Could your club use NatWest CricketForce to identify some key roles required for the summer ahead and get people appropriately trained?
What some clubs said about 2019:
• “We are considering offering a reduction in membership if players attend workforce
days during 2020.”
• “Very good way to get the season underway – to find and engage with new
volunteers – to bring young and old(er) together for common cause.”
• “NatWest CricketForce has created a community feel to our club at the start of every
season.”
What’s in it for my club?
As a thank you to all clubs who participate in NatWest CricketForce 2020 and to highlight the importance of ensuring our clubs are safe environments to be part of, each club will benefit from a NatWest CricketForce First Aid kit designed specifically for the community cricket club.
Added to this, when we announce our official supporters and suppliers for 2020, every club who registers will be added into a prize draw to win some amazing pieces of kit for their club.
So, whether it’s a refurbishment of the clubs changing facilities and toilets to ensure young people can use them, designing a family friendly social area for parents to socialise or hosting a number of events aimed at volunteer recruitment, retention and recognition there’s a reason for every club to Get Involved in NatWest CricketForce in 2020.
