What is Clubmark?

Clubmark is the universally acknowledged cross sport accreditation scheme for community sports Clubs.

It stands for:

• Higher standards of welfare, equity, coaching and management in community sports Clubs
• Making sure the nation’s sports Club infrastructure is safer, stronger and more successful

It shows that a Club provides the right environment which ensures the welfare of members and encourages everyone to enjoy sport and stay involved throughout their lives.
An accredited Club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages as well as helping parents and carers know that they’re choosing the right Club for their young people.

Following England Athletics setting up of standards the club now adheres to these standards; these include having licensed coaches, policies in place, welfare officers, a club constitution and active Managment Committee.
