Appologies if I've missed it but not seen a thread on this. Looks like quite a significant step has been taken aimed at streamlining the club academy set up.
Clubs were graded on a range of criteria including staffing and facilities, with measurable performance outcomes also taken into account.
The top tier clubs will continue to receive funding from the governing body with additional funding for reaching objectives.
Clubs outwith the highest level will still receive some funding to continue their development work.
Project Brave 'Elite' clubs
Aberdeen
Celtic
Hamilton
Hearts
Hibs
Kilmarnock
Motherwell
Rangers
Project Brave 'Progressive' clubs
Ayr United
Dundee United
Forth Valley
Inverness
Partick Thistle
Ross County
St Mirren
St Johnstone
Project Brave 'Performance' clubs
Dundee
Fife
Greenock Morton
Queen’s Park
Elite clubs will play each other three times a season and play performance level clubs once.
Slightly worrying is that St Mirren and Dundee United both confirmed they could not afford to apply for a place in the elite bracket due to having to employ additional coaches.
I'm all for improving the youth set up and feel it's been badly needed for some time. Just hope the SFA get this one right.

I've read a couple articles on this, but I'm still none the wiser as to what any of this actually means.

Interesting article here from 31st May. http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/...ome_a_reality/
I hope the young lads who don't make the elite still have an avenue to make it into top flight football. Simon Murray would be a case in point?"Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.' - Paulo Freire
