The Football Blueprint vs Squadi
This one isn't really a versus. Squadi is the federation platform Football Queensland clubs register and compete through — and if your federation uses it, you keep using it. The Blueprint runs everything after registration: training, availability, gameday, wellness and club communication.

Where Squadi is genuinely strong
Squadi does jobs the Blueprint deliberately doesn't — and for clubs in its federations, it isn't optional anyway. That's fine: it's a different layer of the stack.
Squadi is Football Queensland's platform — registration, competitions and compliance flow through it, funded by the federation and free to clubs. That official alignment is its whole point.
Registration through to competitions, including referee payments — the governing-body plumbing that keeps organised football running.
Instalments and Afterpay on registration fees — real cost-of-living relief for families at the most expensive moment of the season.
Where the Blueprint fits alongside it
The Blueprint starts where registration ends. Import your Squadi roster CSV once, and the other six days a week — training, selection, gameday, wellness, comms — live in one place built for those jobs.
A drag-and-drop session designer, drill and session libraries, season periodisation, a club-wide curriculum and live gameday with dual tactic boards — the coaching depth no comms app carries.
Technical director, club admin, coach, team manager, parent, player and more — each role opens to a surface built for its job, not one shared feed for everyone.
Daily player check-ins, body-soreness mapping and readiness flags on the coach dashboard, plus development goals and feedback — a duty-of-care story most team apps don't attempt.
Whole-club tiers priced in AUD from $39/mo + GST — one subscription covers everyone, and players and parents always join free. No per-team creep as you grow.
Club data lives in the Firebase Australia region, medical details are gated to coaches and admins, and there are no ads anywhere — free trial included.
Registration stays with PlayHQ, Squadi or Dribl where your federation requires it. The Blueprint imports your roster and runs everything after registration.

Different tools for different jobs
Keep Squadi — full stop — if…
- Your federation runs registration and competitions through it (that's not a choice, and we don't pretend otherwise)
- Instalments and Afterpay on rego fees matter to your families
- You only need the compliance and competition layer, nothing more
Add the Blueprint alongside it if…
- Your club currently runs Squadi plus a comms app plus spreadsheets — and wants the after-registration stack in one place
- Coaches want session design, a season plan and a club curriculum, not just fixtures
- You want availability, gameday and wellness in the family's pocket without double data entry — import the roster CSV once
- The committee wants role-based access, gated medical data and Australian-hosted records
