Find a WW Licensed Club

Why attend a WW Licensed Club?

There are lots of benefits to attending a Weightlifting Wales licensed club. Weightlifting Wales aims for all our licensed clubs to create a positive, safe, enjoyable and inclusive environment for its community, that will add benefit and value to the lives of all those who engage with the sport. With opportunities available for all ages and groups of people.

The Club and Community Officer, and also Chief Operating Officer, work with licensed clubs to support them in many ways, ensuring that there is a high standard of coaching, good governance, opportunities to develop facilities, and inclusive and appropriate strength training activities are provided for the members. This support may then further expand to helping clubs applying for funding, running a tier 3 club competition, and helping with any other challenges your club may be facing.

Safeguarding and Welfare

Weightlifting Wales require licensed clubs to follow best practice in terms of safeguarding and protecting the welfare of its members. All clubs must have DBS checked, licensed coaches, leading on Weightlifting activities within the club. Licensed clubs must also have clear safeguarding policies, an effective welfare reporting system and a welfare officer who has undergone safeguarding training. 

Weightlifting Wales licensed clubs are expected to adhere to the WW/BWL Code of Conduct, and through doing so should take responsibility for the culture that is developed and promoted within their club.

Weightlifting Wales strongly advise that all participants and parents of children who participate in the sport at any level, join a club that is licensed with Weightlifting Wales. Activity within unlicensed Weightlifting clubs is not monitored or influenced by Weightlifting Wales.

Clubs can find relevant club guidance and policies on our Licensed Club Information page

We have grouped lots of useful information for parents of children in sport on our safeguarding page, with tips on how to find a safe sports club for your child.
