Club Standards & Compliance
Run to the standard. Don’t just look like it.
FNSW’s Club Standards framework becomes the way your club actually operates — so the evidence writes itself.
The scorecard
Know where you stand before the assessor does.
Every program gets a live scorecard across the real FNSW components, scored against the published criteria all season long.

Criteria that score themselves
Fielding, training frequency, facilities, fees, coach registration, match-day medical, video, parent education, wellbeing and coach development all score from what the club already does — no folder theatre.
The evidence
Graded before submission day.
The framework’s planning documents live in one library — upload one and it’s graded against the FNSW criteria on the spot.
- Strengths, gaps and how to ace it — nothing goes in cold
- Mission, Vision & Philosophy and the Technical Framework generate from your Club Identity and curriculum; annual plan, training schedule and game-time policy write themselves
- Upload a better version and the scorecard keeps whichever grades higher

Submission
The outstanding list, worked from one tab.
The Submission tab lists exactly what FNSW wants on the day. Most of it is already green; what is not opens in place, so nobody hunts through the framework for it.
- Outstanding counts on the Documents and Submission tabs, so the gap is visible from the hub
- One click builds the evidence pack; the hand-over is recorded with the date and who sent it
- A declared gate reads Ready the moment the club declares it

The season cycle
An assessment calendar with no surprises.
Planning documents, league compliance, advisor visits, September reports — Clubhouse tracks every milestone and keeps the club ahead of all of them.
- An unannounced advisor visit holds no fear — the day-to-day records are already the evidence
- A timeline rail with a today marker shows every programme’s next milestone, on the desk and on the phone

Why it matters
The standards are the point.
Clubhouse doesn’t help you get around the standards — it makes running to them the easiest way to run your club.
We’re starting with one club. Yours could be next.
We’re opening the doors to a small number of clubs each season. Register your interest and we’ll be in touch when places open.
