Home-Ground for Clubs
Better Player Care. Built around your club.
Flexible, independent Player Care designed around your performers, your people and your environment.
From targeted support for individual performers to a wider Player Care programme, we work with clubs to understand what already exists, where the gaps are and what would make a meaningful difference.
Built around you
No two clubs need the same thing.
Every club starts from a different place — different resources, staffing, age groups, pathways, family relationships and budgets. Some already have strong Player Care. Others are earlier in developing their approach.
So we don’t arrive with a predetermined programme. We start by understanding the environment.
Your performers · Your people · Existing provision · Families · Pathways · Transitions · Pressure points · Gaps
We build the right level of support around what you already have — and what your performers actually need.
What we can do
Where we can help.
Not fixed packages — starting points, combined around what your club actually needs.
01 Individual Player Care
Dedicated Player Care Partners for identified performers who would benefit from consistent, independent support.
02 Player Care Programme
Help to design and deliver a wider Player Care model across a squad, pathway, programme or club.
03 Transitions
Support for performers joining, progressing through, moving between or leaving environments.
04 Families
Helping clubs build constructive relationships with parents and families, particularly around young performers.
05 Education & Careers
Helping performers think about education, employment, development and life alongside — or beyond — competitive sport.
06 Player Development
Group sessions and experiences around the wider skills, decisions and challenges that surround performance.
07 Triage & Signposting
Identifying what support is actually needed, and connecting performers with appropriate specialist expertise.
08 Staff Development
Building the confidence and capability of coaches and other adults supporting performers.
Independent
Inside the environment. Outside the pressure.
It isn’t always easy for performers to speak openly with the people who pick the team, manage their contract or judge their performance day to day. That’s no criticism of those people — it’s the nature of high-performance environments.
Home-Ground Player Care sits outside all of that. We work constructively with the club, while giving performers appropriate independent support.
Selection · Contracts · Coaching decisions · Immediate performance judgement
Independent enough to create trust. Connected enough to make a difference.
Your model
As much — or as little — as you need.
Examples of scale, not fixed packages. The right level can change as your needs do.
01 Targeted
Specific workshops, individual cases, staff support or particular transition points.
02 Programme
A defined Player Care offer for a squad, pathway or group of performers.
03 Embedded
A more integrated Home-Ground Player Care presence, working alongside the club’s existing team.
Around the performer
Better Player Care strengthens the people around the performer too.
Coaches, club staff, parents and families all shape a performer’s experience. We help them feel more confident and better equipped for the moments that matter.
Coaches · Club staff · Parents · Families · Specialists

The Home-Ground Network
The right expertise, at the right time.
No one person has every answer. Where specialist input would help, we can bring trusted expertise from the Home-Ground Network around your performers.
Specialist provision is agreed as it’s needed — it isn’t automatically included.

Individual membership
Continuity for the individual.
Club-level provision can sit alongside individual Home-Ground membership.
Where a performer needs a deeper, ongoing relationship with their own dedicated Player Care Partner, there may be an appropriate route into Home-Ground Personal or Home-Ground Youth — so the right support can continue around them.
