Game Plan – Mandatory for 2026
As part of our commitment to strong governance and member protection, completion of the Game Plan assessment is now compulsory for all Volleyball NSW club-based affiliates.
Game Plan is a free online platform developed by the Australian Sports Commission that helps clubs:
- Assess their capability and governance standards
- Identify areas for improvement
- Access tailored resources to support sustainable growth
This requirement ensures affiliates are well-prepared for future compliance and development initiatives. Full details and instructions can be found in the Application Forms section and the 2026 Volleyball NSW Affiliation Manual.
