What are the benefits?
What the clubs say…..
• "Seal of Approval has enabled us to gain funding from a variety of sources to support the club’s development, enabled us to negotiate a move for the whole club to fantastic new facilities. It is also a great tool for promotion and attracting sponsorship etc which we have done successfully.“
• “Lots of the things required are already in place…it is just a case of getting it down in black and white.”
• "We are able to use Seal of Approval in our marketing communications and to promote a healthy and sporting lifestyle to local schoolchildren and their families. We promote a volunteer culture and the standards help us to provide leadership, guidance and policy so those volunteers are encouraged to adopt best practice in coaching, player welfare and development."
Question:
What should be different in Seal of Approval for University Rugby?
