The LCSD and NSAs will assess applications of sports clubs in accordance with the following criteria:

	the club's target membership and the number of existing members;
	the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of the club's year plans;
	the club's partnership and relationship with its NSA;
	the club’s experience in organising activities;
	whether the club can operate independently; and
	the club's potential contribution to its NSA for the development of the sport.
