What we do

Standards everyone understands

Youth football works best when everyone knows what's expected of them. ITG gives clubs one shared set of standards for leaders, coaches, parents and players — with the learning, tools and support to put them into practice.

Clubs that show they live those standards can apply for ITG review and earn ITG Approved status.

One club. Four standards.

  • The Club Leadership Standard — how we lead our club
  • The Coaching Standard — 25 non-negotiable standards
  • The Parent Standard — positive support, respectful behaviour
  • The Player Standard — age-appropriate, U6 to U18
The Standards

Clear expectations for everyone

Club Leadership

Clear leadership. Consistent standards. Better experiences. 3 pillars, 15 standards for the people who run the club.

Coaching

Five key areas. 25 non-negotiable standards. One shared commitment. Voluntary to join, mandatory to uphold.

Parents

Positive support. Respectful behaviour. Better experiences. 3 pillars, 12 standards for the touchline and beyond.

Players

Respect yourself & others. Support your team & club. Own your development. Discover, Understand, Apply.

Products & services

Membership, plus the modules you need

ITG Membership gives your club its home on the ITG platform. Add Education, Coaching Resources or Feedback whenever you're ready. Prices scale with the number of teams you run.

Membership isn't the same as ITG Approved

Being an ITG member gives your club access to the platform and the modules you choose. ITG Approved status is different: it's earned by working through The Club Standard and passing an ITG review — and it's reviewed every year. It can't be bought.
