For Coaches
A grassroots volunteer gets the same structured framework an elite academy coach uses. Individual development plans, meaningful feedback, sessions with purpose. They stop feeling out of their depth and start feeling like proper coaches.

SHOT Clubhouse
The PowerOf Six
SHOT is the clubhouse for sport. One home for team admin, coach tools, and real athlete development. Most apps only cover the boring side. SHOT gives you all of that, plus the tools that build confidence and ability — across football, rugby, boxing, cricket, netball, padel and more. Free for six years through Sported and the Power of Six.
Why SHOT
What Makes SHOT Different
Most apps for sport only cover the boring side: fixtures, attendance, messaging. SHOT is the clubhouse that handles all of that, then goes further. Real athlete development through PERFORM. Community and identity through PULSE and LOCKER. Full club admin alongside. One home, not five apps.
Built to work the same way whether you’re a school, a grassroots club, a community foundation, or a private coaching business. And with The Power of Six, we’re putting it in the hands of the organisations that need it most — for free, for six years.
Built For Everyone
Built For Everyone in Sport
For Athletes
Every athlete gets seen as an individual. Feedback based on their own confidence levels. No comparison, no ranking. Honest development that builds over time. That’s how you keep young people in sport.
For Parents & Guardians
Guardian View gives parents a proper window into their child’s development. Not another chat group. Real progress tracking, focus areas, and support guidance. It turns screen time into bonding time.
For Clubs, Schools & Organisations
One system across every team, every coach, every sport. A consistent development framework instead of every coach doing their own thing. Retention improves because parents see the value and children grow in confidence. Professional standard, end to end.
For Funders & Trustees
Individual-level impact data at scale. Not just attendance numbers, but evidence of development across technical, social, psychological, physical, and personal pillars to build confident people through sport. The data funders have been asking for.

Governing Body Alignment
PERFORM’s development frameworks are built on best practice from governing bodies including The FA, England Boxing, LTA, RFU, ECB, and England Hockey. Each sport gets a tailored evaluation framework — not a one-size-fits-all template.

How It Works
How PERFORM Actually Works
A real example: a boxing coach runs a stance and movement session. Here’s what happens inside SHOT Clubhouse.
1
Before Session
Athlete self-assessment
Technical — Stance & Guard
"How confident do you feel in your stance today?" — Confidence: 2/5
The athlete rates their own confidence before the session starts. No coaching input yet — just honest self-reflection.
2
After Session
Athlete reflection
Technical — Stance & Guard
"How confident do you feel now?" — Confidence: 4/5 — up from 2!
After the session, the athlete re-rates themselves. The confidence shift is tracked automatically — session by session, week by week.
3
Coach Review
Independent evaluation
Technical — Stance & Guard
"Good improvement in guard position. Next session: work on weight distribution through the back foot."
The coach adds their own score plus a written next step. Three perspectives. One development picture.
This three-stage cycle runs across all five PERFORM pillars: Technical, Physical, Psychological, Social, and Personal — with confidence at the centre. Every sport, every session, every athlete.
“Confidence is the one thing every coach talks about but nobody measures. We made it measurable — not with a test, but with a conversation between athlete, session, and coach. That’s what PERFORM does.”
Mark Beard
Head Elite Coach, SHOT Clubhouse

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really free? What’s the catch?
Yes, it’s genuinely free for the full 6 years. No hidden costs, no upselling, no credit card required. The "catch" is commitment: we expect you to use the platform weekly, engage with the onboarding pilot, and share feedback so we can keep improving. We’re investing in organisations that will use this properly — not collect a login and forget about it.
Is this only for football clubs?
No. Power of Six is deliberately multi-sport. We support football, boxing, rugby union, rugby league, cricket, tennis, hockey, netball, golf, functional fitness, athletics, and more. Each sport gets a tailored PERFORM framework — not a football template forced onto other disciplines.
How many places are available?
72 total — 12 per region across 6 UK regions (North, Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West). Once a region is full, expressions of interest move to a waiting list. We review on a rolling basis, so earlier is better.
What exactly do we get access to?
Full access to SHOT Clubhouse — that’s PERFORM (athlete development and evaluations), PULSE (culture and community tools), and LOCKER (content and media management). Up to 600 athlete licences and 66 coach licences per organisation. Every feature. No restrictions. For 6 years.
Do we need to be a registered charity?
No. You can be a grassroots club, boxing gym, school, independent coaching setup, community interest company, NGB programme, or any UK-based organisation running sport. Charity status is not required.
What happens after 6 years?
After the 6-year grant term, organisations can continue on a standard subscription or apply for renewal based on impact and engagement data. The goal is that by then, you won’t want to go back to the old way of working.
How long does the application process take?
The expression of interest takes less than 2 minutes. We review on a rolling basis and respond within 5 working days. If selected, you’ll start a 4-week onboarding pilot with your named delivery champion before full activation.
Can we apply if we’re a small organisation?
Absolutely. You don’t need 600 athletes to qualify. The licence allocation is an upper limit, not a minimum. If you have 30 athletes and 4 coaches, that’s fine. What matters is commitment to using the platform and developing your athletes.
Do we need a governing body endorsement?
No, but it helps. A governing body endorsement strengthens your application under the Credibility & Signal scoring criteria. We work with The FA, England Boxing, LTA, RFU, ECB, England Hockey, and others — but it’s not a requirement.
What does SHOT do with our data?
Your data belongs to your organisation. We use anonymised, aggregated data to measure programme-level impact and report to partners like Sported. Individual athlete data is never shared externally. Full data/privacy agreements are part of the onboarding process.
