Separate audiences and authority
Affiliated clubs, officials, participants and the public need different resources. Clearly label official policies, competition information, development programs and general news so visitors understand what carries formal authority.
Make club pathways visible
Help people find an affiliated club, understand age or competition structures and reach the correct next step. Maintained club directories are more useful than a list with outdated links and contacts.
Publish governance accessibly
Policies, board information, reports and decisions should use descriptive titles, dates and accessible files. A consistent resource structure reduces uncertainty and supports transparent organisational communication.
