Availability is up four points and injury days lost are down 15% year on year — the squad-wide prevention programme and criteria-based return-to-play are doing the heavy lifting.

The assessment

Questions that already know your league.

Every question comes with suggested answers per club size, drawn from what small, medium and large clubs actually report. Three of the 25:

Best practices with the evidence attached.

high impactlow effort
Track availability and days lost weekly

One sheet: who is fit, who is not, days lost per injury — trended all season.

Squad availability tracks league position in UEFA's long-running injury study; trends only emerge when days lost are logged weekly. (Sports-science load-management literature (BJSM/UEFA injury studies))

high impactmedium effort
Run pre-season screening for every player

Musculoskeletal baseline, injury history, movement tests — before day one.

Screening surfaces the injury histories that predict most soft-tissue recurrence — the cheapest structural upgrade available. (Sports-science load-management literature (BJSM/UEFA injury studies))

high impactlow effort
Adopt a squad-wide prevention programme

Nordic curls, Copenhagen adductor, FIFA 11+-style warm-up — every session.

Adhered-to prevention programmes (FIFA 11+, Nordics) reported injury reductions in the 25–40% range across trials. (Sports-science load-management literature (BJSM/UEFA injury studies))
