Our story

Mission Command Sports exists to professionalise grassroots sport—because every child deserves the benefits of a well-run team, and every club volunteer deserves better than burnout.

For over 40 years, Milton Brooks has worked across sport and recreation in Australia, the USA, the UK, and the Caribbean. From Olympic pathways to community clubs, he’s seen the full spectrum of what sport can be—and what it too often becomes when the systems fail.

With an MBA in Sports Management, a Masters in Accounting, CPA accreditation and Commission from the Royal Military College (Duntroon), Milton brings deep operational and financial expertise to the field. But it’s his lived experience—hearing the deafening silence when nominations are called for committee roles, watching the same exhausted few get railroaded into doing everything again—that drives Mission Command.

We know the story:

• The treasurer who never wanted the job but couldn’t say no.

• The coach who’s also the registrar, fundraiser, and uniform coordinator.

• The parent who just wanted their child to play, now buried in spreadsheets and sausage sizzles.

This isn’t sustainable. And it’s not fair.

At Mission Command, we apply proven military principles—clarity of command, structured delegation, and operational discipline—to transform how clubs run. We help committees move from chaos to confidence, enabling them to define the club’s vision and strategy while we bring that vision to life.

Because here’s the truth: Every successful sports club is either professionally run—or will need to be.

The demands are growing: compliance, safeguarding, digital systems, financial transparency, member engagement. Clubs that thrive tomorrow are the ones that build capacity today.

We’re here to help you do just that.

Whether you're a regional rugby club, a junior footy team, or a multi-sport association, Mission Command delivers strategic frameworks, operational tools, and hands-on support to lift the load—and raise the standard.

Let’s build clubs where kids flourish, volunteers feel valued, and sport becomes the joy it was always meant to be.
