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.
