who gets access
Can we apply for a grant to pay for Huddle HQ Portal and services?
Absolutely—and this is one of the biggest reasons we exist. Many clubs don’t realise there’s funding available to cover governance training, strategic planning, and operational support. Our team can guide you through identifying the right grants or sponsorship opportunities and help prepare a strong application. In most cases, we can secure funding that covers the cost of your Huddle HQ membership and services, meaning your club can access the tools, training, and support it needs without dipping into player fees or fundraising money.
Who can join Huddle HQ?
Any grassroots sporting club, association, or community sports organisation can become a member by signing up to one of the tiers available. This will automatically include all the courses, resources and surveys to help you operate more effectively and sustainably. Pricing is for based on a 12-month contract.
What is the on-boarding process like?
Usually you will be up an running within a week. We will chat and discuss the best fit tier. Committee will then receive access to Huddle HQ Hub with all resources and courses tailored for your club (depending on the tier chosen).
We will have regular check ins, deliver your 'done for you services' and workshops and things will start to feel easier and smoother as we progress.
Is Huddle HQ Portal log in available for individuals or the whole club?
Log in is limited to your club’s committee only. However, the resources can be tailored and distributed to subcommittees, and delegated to coaches and volunteers as needed.
Can new committees access past content?
Yes—within your 12-month membership period, all current and incoming committee members will have access to the library. Unless services are renewed, access will end when your membership term finishes. However, our services ensures you will have all the systems, documents, and processes in place—developed and ready to pass on—so committee handovers will be smooth and nothing is lost.
content, downloads, courses
What kinds of downloads are included?
Members have access to editable templates, club policies, annual planning tools, meeting agendas, checklists, grant writing guides, marketing strategies, and much more—covering governance, finance, operations, and promotion.
Depending on your tier, you will also have access to online courses, workshops, and live Q and A sessions.
Are resources sport-specific?
Most resources are designed to be adaptable for any sport, with easy-to-edit templates. Where needed, we also include sport-specific examples, like competition structures or position descriptions for particular codes.
What if we only need help with one project (like a grant application)?
We offer one-off project-based services. Please use 'Book a Call' option and we can discuss the pricing of specific services offered, for example grant application, website redesign, merch shop set up, or social media management.
Can we brand the templates with our club logo?
Definitely. All resources are fully customisable, so you can add your club’s branding, colours, and style to make them your own before sharing with members.
How often is new content added?
We update the portal regularly with fresh downloads, refined templates, and new training modules—timed to seasonal club needs, regulatory changes, and member feedback.
On top of that, depending on your tier, we also offer done-for-you services (e.g. policies, annual plans, grant applications, sponsorship decks) so you’re not just downloading templates—you’re getting finished, club-ready assets.
networking and events
What networking opportunities are available?
You’ll gain access to an exclusive online community where you can connect with other clubs, share experiences, swap resources, and find solutions to common challenges.
Do you run live training events?
Yes. Throughout the year we host live webinars, expert-led masterclasses, and Q&A sessions on topics such as sponsorship, governance, marketing, and volunteer management.
Do you run in-person events?
While most of our events are online to be accessible to all members, we also run occasional face-to-face workshops, networking nights, and presentations in different regions when demand is high.
