I’m Colum McGrath, and I founded SixYard Analytics to help community clubs build structure, sustainability and long-term success.
​
Too many clubs run on passion and hard work but without the planning tools or support to grow strategically. My goal is to make that support accessible, affordable and practical - giving clubs the systems they need to thrive.
Helping clubs grow smarter — on and off the pitch
What I do
I work directly with clubs to strengthen their foundations through:
​
-
Strategic and development planning
-
Player and coaching pathway design
-
Sponsorship and funding strategies
-
Community and digital engagement
Every club deserves the chance to grow smarter - from the training pitch to the committee room.

Our Services
Player Pathway
I work with clubs to design a clear, structured player development pathway that connects youth and senior levels. Together, we map how players progress through each stage, strengthen retention during key transitions, and align coaching support around consistent long-term development.
Performance Analysis
This module helps clubs introduce simple, practical tools to build a culture of learning and feedback. I provide guidance on post-match reflection, player review systems, and affordable video analysis options - helping coaches and players turn insights into performance improvement.
Commercial Growth
Sustainable clubs need reliable income streams. I help you relaunch sponsor campaigns, identify local funding opportunities, and design easy-to-run fundraising initiatives. The aim is to build financial stability through structure - reducing reliance on one-off efforts and giving your club room to grow.
Digital & Community Engagement
Your club’s story deserves to be seen and shared. I support clubs to strengthen their community connections, relaunch events, and modernise their digital presence. This includes content planning, branded templates, and website guidance to improve visibility, engagement and local impact.
Delivery format note:
​
All modules are delivered in 4 - 6 week sprints - fully remote or hybrid - with light input from club members.
​
Whether you take one module or all four, I adapt the process to your time and capacity.
