Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASCs)
Will our club qualify as a CASC?
Many amateur sports clubs will be able to register as CASCs without making any changes to the way they operate or are structured. However, some clubs may find that changes are needed before they can successfully register.
Before you complete the application forms you may want to see whether
your club is likely to be successful in applying for registration. You
can do this by answering the following five questions.
- Is membership of the club open to the
whole community?
- Are all the club's facilities available
to members without discrimination?
- Does the club's constitution prevent
profits of the club being distributed amongst its members (i.e. any
profits must go back into the club)?
- Does the club provide facilities for
& encourage participation in eligible sports?
- Does the club's constitution provide
that on dissolution of the club, any net assets are to be applied for
approved sporting or charitable purposes?
If you can answer Yes to all five questions it is likely that you will be able to register as a CASC without making any changes. In some cases you may need to make some small changes to the way the club is organised.
If you cannot answer Yes to all five questions it is unlikely that the
club will be able to register without making significant changes. You
may wish to consider making the necessary changes before applying for
registration.
