Sports Club Constitution
R449
Create a sports club constitution covering club objects, membership, teams, committee roles, fees, meetings, discipline, safeguarding, finances, assets, and affiliation.
A Sports Club Constitution is used by a club that organises sport, recreation, training, tournaments, teams, coaching, competitions, sponsorships, or member activities. It provides rules for membership, management, finance, discipline, child safeguarding, affiliation, and dissolution.

The constitution should include clear safeguarding and conduct rules where children or vulnerable persons participate. It should also regulate finances, equipment, sponsorships, disciplinary powers, and compliance with federation or league rules.
