Sports Community
Australian sports-club consultancy — coach recruitment, governance, finance and HR support, training, and facility planning for volunteer-run clubs and peak bodies.
About Sports Community
Sports Community was founded in 2012 by Steve Pallas — a former cricket club secretary and football-netball league CEO who knew first-hand what bad volunteer experience does to community sport. The organisation began as a resource and training service for sports-club volunteers across Australia, and has since delivered more than 500 training sessions and 250,000 podcast downloads from a base in Mornington, Victoria.
Today they serve sports clubs, peak sporting bodies, and local councils across Australia with a mix of free resources (position descriptions, templates, checklists, podcasts), digital training (webinars, videos, eBooks), and direct consulting in strategic planning, grant writing, facility planning, governance, finance, HR, and sports travel. Their Club Spot platform sits over the top — a members-only home for the work clubs need to do regularly. Since joining the Belgravia Group in 2020, they’ve scaled their consulting and operational support arm significantly.
The partnership
Sports Community and TidyHQ partner because we’re solving the same problem from opposite ends: they fix the human side of volunteer-run sport — governance, structure, training — and we fix the software side. Clubs they advise often need an admin platform underneath the playbook; clubs we onboard often need the governance and training Sports Community already does best.
- Sports clubs in the Sports Community network can access TidyHQ on partner terms
- Sports Community references TidyHQ in their finance, HR, and operations training resources
- Joint webinars and content on the operational side of running a sports club
