Developing your Club’s Strategic Plan

A Strategic Plan is a vital document to ensure the Club is working together to achieve a common purpose. Another way to look at this would be the development of a game plan for the Club.

Some Club’s opt to pay a Consultant to drive the process of creating a Plan. This document seeks to provide a simple and easy -to-follow guide for Clubs to develop (or update) a Strategic Plan who wish to drive this process themselves. Should Club’s wish to clarify the process or would like guidance or assistance (free of charge) please contact clubsupport@footballvictoria.com.au.

There are many ways to develop a Strategic Plan, this document provides just one way as to how this could take place.
