In 2001 German football decided that every Bundesliga club must run a youth academy, a Leistungszentrum. Since the 2007/08 season the academies have been certified by the agency Double PASS. The audit divides everything that works in an academy into eight dimensions, among them organization and procedures. Effectiveness and permeability is one of the eight.
The auditors look at how the work is actually done. Wir suchen nach Arbeitsdokumenten, nicht nach eigens für uns gefertigten Unterlagen. We look for working documents, not for papers made especially for us. Uns geht es um Implementierung. What matters to us is implementation.
