Recruitment
Campaign- All Hands Needed on Deck!
The Titans have embarked on a recruitment campaign for new players, to help us
ensure the future sustainability of the Club. Continued success of
the ILWP program is critical in that it is the feeder program to our
competitive programs. With the help of a Provincial Communities in Action Fund
grant, we have been able to hire coach Jennifer Hampton on a part-time basis
for the summer, to go out into the community, where she is doing program
promotion and recruitment. With the assistance of a dedicated crew of 'Expert
Helpers' (a.k.a. our older competitive athletes), she has been to a number of
events each week, and has been able to conduct many clinics in existing
aquatic camps.
We need your help! Can you distribute some
brochures and small posters in your local community or workplace? Public
libraries, community centres (we've already covered most of the pools), and
other public gathering places are ideal.
If you are able to make contact
with your local public school (our target age group is 7-12, although we
also have a recreational house league for ages 13+), we can provide you with a
short blurb for a school newsletter, as well as for posters/ brochures for
distribution. Schools are an excellent for promoting our programs, but in most
cases we need Principal approval by individual school, and it's best if
someone local approaches them
