Hi,
I manage the website for a (Swedish) national sporting organization. What I need to know is whether Drupal will support the website structure currently in place.
The structure is this:
At the top there is the main website, which in most cases would be the entry point. On this site general information, news articles and photograps and similar that belongs to the
national level are posted. This site is administered by me and should mainly be touched by me only.
Under the national level, there is a need to create a separate site for each individual club. From the club page, the visitor should be able to view only general information, news postings and photo galleries
belonging to the specific club. Thus, if you have entered a specific club's website, it should look like it is almost a separate site, but with an identical layout and presentation.
These sections of the site should be administered by local webmasters with limited editing abilities.
Is this possible to do in Drupal? I was thinking categories / taxonomies as a way to oragnising contents into clubs.. but is it possible to do the other stuff?
Glad for all the help i could get.

Organic Groups
Organic groups should do most if not all of what you want.
Each group can be maintained by its own mini admin

Sport Club Sites
There are actually a lot of similar sites out there built on Drupal. I think you will find Drupal's flexibility perfect for this project.
Here is a site that is on Drupal. http://www.kentac.org.uk/
and here's a discussion of a similar project: http://drupal.org/node/91149
Have fun!
