Clubmark

Clubmark is a quality accreditation scheme for sport clubs with junior sections. It is vital that these clubs serve young people well and provide young people with a quality experience. Sports clubs that work with children and young people need and deserve support to improve the quality of work they do so that we can:

  • Ensure the well-being of young people whilst in the care of adults, other than their legal parent/carer.
  • Enthuse young people to enjoy sport and active recreation to build a healthy and active lifestyle.
  • Enable young people to use their leisure time creatively.
  • Allow young people to optimise their talents and personal ability.
  • Identify and support the development of the most talented young people.
