accreditation as the best
practice scheme to encourage young people to take-up sport, improve their talents and give them the
option to initiate and maintain life-long participation in sport.Clubmark
is the only national cross sports quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections. It is
built around a set of core criteria which ensure that accredited clubs operate to a set of consistent,
accepted and adopted minimum operating standards.Sport
