About Clubmark
National governing bodies (NGBs) and county sport partnerships (CSPs) award Clubmark to proven high quality clubs. The national scheme has been in place since 2002 and there are now over 4,000 accredited clubs across more than 30 sports. Our aim is that by the end of 2008 this will have increased to 5,000 and that Clubmark will be the stamp of approval to which all sports clubs aspire.
All organisations involved in accrediting clubs are subject to a licensing process, following the recommendations of the Clubmark Review (March 2006). This highlighted the need for cross sport moderation, robustness and integrity within the system. The licence is designed to ensure that all organisations involved work to a minimum operating framework and can prove it. This will help to establish Clubmark as the mark of high quality junior clubs.
