Clubs play an important role in sports provision within our communities, forming a critical part of local sporting pathways.

We work closely with local clubs to provide support and advice to promote development and growth.

What is PACES

The Perth and Kinross Accredited Club Excellence Scheme (PACES), is a straightforward quality assurance system that has been designed to help local sports clubs operate efficiently and effectively.

It is also a means of identifying and rewarding clubs that operate in a structured way.

We have three levels for PACES membership: Bronze, Silver & Gold. Each level supports a progression within club activity and structure.
