Recreational Events |
| Format | Non-traditional formats – e.g. multiple rounds of poules, max 3 hits, mixed teams based on the needs of the local community. |
| Competition Experience | Likely to be perceived as an event where the emphasis and primary goal is the fun and enjoyment of all participants equally.
Little or no knowledge of ‘competition’ rules expected, referees supporting participants to learn rules. |
| Event Timings | Fixed start and end times, and all participants involved from start to finish.
Mixture of activities, individual and team, ‘battles’, different team formats – focus is on fun and enjoyment, keeping participants active and developing skills. Including holiday camps and training camps. |
| Rankings and Event Title | Could include wording such as ‘beginners’ ‘novices’.
Does not contribute to any rankings.
|
| Support and Refereeing | Little or no knowledge of ‘competition’ rules expected, referees supporting participants to learn rules.
Supporters (eg coaches and parents) encouraging everyone to take part and have fun. |
Running a camp – advice for affiliated clubs, including how to license a summer camp, membership requirements for attendees and registered Coaches and Welfare Officers for the event.
