Sport England Clubmark is used by national governing bodies of sport (NGBs) as part of their club accreditation programmes for sports clubs with junior sections in recognition of a quality club.
Please note that Sport England Clubmark is only awarded through national governing bodies of sport and is not awarded by Sport England to individual clubs.
By creating a single, national standard, Clubmark helps give all kinds of sports clubs with a junior section a structure and direction that will benefit them in several ways:
Increasing membership
Being able to demonstrate that you have addressed issues such as equality and child protection gives confidence to parents choosing a club for their children.
Developing your club
The foundation for any club is its youth structure. So, by encouraging and attracting young members, you are building a strong future for your club.
Developing your coaches and volunteers
As part of the accreditation scheme, you'll be given help and advice in developing the skills of everyone involved in your club.
Raising your club's profile
Once accredited, your club will be listed on the national database and in other sporting directories that will help you attract new members and to grow.
