Game Plan
Game Plan is a free online platform that allows sporting clubs of all sizes to get insights into their current capability in key areas of club administration, then supports ongoing club development with a suite of tools.
Clubs assess and evaluate their own environment, identifying their unique strengths and potential areas for improvement.
Volunteers are the heart of every club. Game Plan makes it easy for club leaders to assess and analyse information about holistic club operations, to make good immediate decisions whilst developing clear plans for the club’s future.
Over 3,000 Australian sporting clubs across 78 different sports are gaining key development and capability growth through their use of Game Plan.
