Technology & Systems
Great clubs are built on good habits. We invest in our own technology to make the right way the easy way, so every part of the club can meet the highest standards in the game.
Why we invest
Our Three-Year Football Plan aims to make the Sharks the best club in the country. Those goals are won on the pitch, but they rest on everything around it: every session planned, every player’s progress recorded, every coach checked and every family heard.
That’s why we built Clubhouse, our own system, and why we keep improving it. It puts all of this in one place, and shows us how we’re going against every target in the plan, all season long.

What it does
One app for every player, family and coach at the club, on iPhone, Android and the web.
Players
Players take charge of their own development, with their games on video and every step forward on record.
A plan they help write
Players rate their own game before their coach writes a word, then set their goals and pin match clips to them.
Matches on video
Filmed matches come back to your phone as highlights and clips.
Their own highlights
After every filmed match, each player gets a reel of their own moments, sent to their family’s phone.
Work rate
Distance, top speed and sprints from tracked matches. Families see only their own child’s.
Progress they can see
Sprints, jumps and endurance, compared with players their age, and a badge for every personal best.
