the Club assessment process
The FQ Club Development Unit’s extensive Club Assessment process observes, measures and assesses over 1,500 data points across 75 different criteria for each of the FQ Academy clubs.
Benchmarked and built around global best practice, the comprehensive evaluation of each club’s technical environment and junior development programs allows FQ to track and analyse annual progress, build supporting resources and services, and incrementally lift the standard of technical outcomes across each club.
Each FQ Academy club is provided an FQ Club Assessment score which reflects the culmination of a season long process and is rated Gold, Silver, Bronze or Development Committed, determined when a club assessment score hits a minimum threshold score.
FQ Academy Club Shield Ratings
The FQ Club Shield system is an initiative designed to improve club accountability, transparency and visibility for participants and parents while giving clubs a meaningful platform to celebrate success and growth in their technical development standards.
The Gold, Silver and Bronze star representations are based on a number of factors including extensive technical assessments undertaken by FQ’s Club Development Unit.
The evolving index below presents all existing FQ Club Shields, and will continually be updated as clubs build capacity, improve technical development standards and attain higher ratings with FQ’s support.
