Talent Pathway Review

Queensland Touch Football’s Strategic Plan identifies ‘Performance Pathways’ as a key pillar of the ‘Unite, Inspire, Grow’ Strategy and is prioritising the independent review of its Talent Pathway and all associated structures and activities.

The primary objective is to establish a sustainable framework that enhances and promotes opportunities for all within the performance and talent pathways (Read the full Media Release here.)

McLaughlin Sports Consultancy has been engaged to undertake the independent review of the QTF Talent Pathway, and will be supported by a skilled Review Reference Group, and input from stakeholders across Queensland vis Forums, Surveys and Interviews.

The primary objectives of the Review include:

• Assess transparency and fairness of criteria for player, coach, and referee progression.
• Identify barriers faced in the pathway, including access to quality competitions and events.
• Review support mechanisms within daily performance environments.
• Provide recommendations for improving talent recruitment, development and organisational effectiveness.

Who can get involved?

Communication and engagement with the touch community is crucial for a comprehensive review. QTF will offer opportunities for community involvement through e-surveys, interviews and focus groups from February to April.

We understand the importance of this Review and we hope our community will have a high level of engagement as we build a strong culture where we present a fair process and provide opportunities to our players, coaches and referees.
