The Player Care Group is a global leader in player care and team operations, working to raise standards of player care across professional sport.

In six years, we have trained more than 500 professionals and worked with sporting organisations across four continents. The standards and framework we have built are now used by player care practitioners at some of the world’s biggest football clubs.

We work on two fronts:

1. For organisations, we provide consulting, audit, and bespoke training services to clubs, leagues, and governing bodies. We help confederations set tiered standards for player care, from minimum through to platinum, and then support their members to reach the level that fits their resources and capacity.

2. For individuals, we offer the only structured education pathway in the profession, from the Intro Module through to the Advanced Certificate. It is backed by a global alumni network, exclusive job openings, and a community of like-minded professionals.

What sets us apart is the people behind our work, and our consultants are a big part of that.
