Probably don't need full creative editing features - so you should already have Windows Movie Maker on your machine, depending on which version of Windows you are using.It's easy enough to import the footage you want - assuming it's a digital camcorder - if analogue you'll need to digitise it first - another kettle of fish entirely.
Once imported use the "tape transport controls" to find the clips you want, you should be able to mark an start and finish for each clip and copy them to the output timeline.
When done there will be a variety of save as options, including creating a smaller file or different file types.
Depending on the option and speed of you machine it will then create the output file either instantly / a few minutes / longer......
This can then be copied / eMailed / uploaded etc.
If whoever is using the clip has internet access at the point of watching, youtube could be used.
If in a sport halls / teaching environment with no _free_ wifi then you'll need to make a copy.
If only for watching on a PC burn the files (suitably named etc) onto a DVD as a comnputer file.
If you want to create a DVD for watching @ home then you'll probably need extra DVD authoring software.
However, most laptops either have a TV out or better most flatscreen TVs have a computer in, so you can play the clips direct to the TV rather than having to burn a DVD.
Happy to help / advise further if needed.
