Clubs are assessed against set criteria and a set of Measurable Performance Outcomes (MPOs), which take into account performance in areas like domestic and international appearances for home-grown players, coaching qualifications, facilities, talent identification and sports science and medicine set-ups.
Following the auditing process, the clubs have been streamed into the following categories:
Elite Level
Performance (Progressive) and Performance Level
Advanced Youth Level
