| How Do I Start A Club? |
If you'd like to start a club we recommend you do the following.
- Contact IHI - Contact us and we will give you help and advice for starting. You should also contact us so that you can be affiliated with us to benefit from being part of the association.
- Get The Word Out - You'll need to get the word out that you are starting a club to find people interested in joining. See the Publicity question below.
- Find A Venue - You'll need to find somewhere to play. You'll need a hall that is suitable for playing inline hockey in.

| How Do I Publicise The Club? |
The biggest problem you will have starting the club is that nobody will know you are there. There are people interested in playing inline hockey but they don't know there are clubs they can join. The best way to publicise the fact that you are starting a club would be;
- Submit a news item on this site saying where the club is starting and who to contact in relation to joining the club. You will need to register on this site to be able to post a news item.
- Post on the Starting A Club forum on this site.
- Create threads on boards.ie in both the Hockey sub forum and the sub forum for the region you are in.
- Print posters and put them up in local sports halls, schools, notice boards etc.
- Submit an article in your local newspaper, newsletter.
- If you have a Bebo or Facebook profile, create a new group for the club and invite your friends to join it.
- Email the other inline hockey clubs around the country. They may know someone in the area who would join your club.

| There's no club in my area, and I don't want to start one. What do I do? |
| You should still get in touch with IHI using the Contact Us form on the website, or by emailing general.secretary@inlinehockeyireland.org. Let us know where you live and we'll keep a list of players in your area. When there are a few of you, we'll help bring you together to form a team or club! |
