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 England recognises and values the commitment made by sports clubs to develop high quality, welcoming environments for young participants. The development of clubs that encourage young people to take-up sport, improve their talents and give them the option to initiate and maintain life-long participation in sport is an essential part of our work to support the sporting infrastructure in England.
Active Dorset is commited to support clubs in their development and sees Clubmark as crucial. We have applied to become a licensing body for accreditation and we will then be able to support clubs affiliated to NGBs recognised by Sport England and where the NGB does not have its own version of Clubmark.
A copy of the guidelines and templates can be found in the 'Clubmark Resource Pack' which is available to download to the right.
