Clubmark
By creating a single, national standard, Clubmark helps give all kinds of sports clubs with a junior section a structure and direction which will benefit them in several ways:

Increasing membership
Being able to demonstrate that you have addressed issues such as equality and child protection gives confidence to parents choosing a club for their children.

Developing your club
The foundation for any club is its youth structure.  So, by encouraging and attracting young members, you are building a strong future for your club.
Developing your coaches and volunteers
As part of the accreditation scheme, you'll be given help and advice in developing the skills of everyone involved in your club.

Raising your club's profile
Once accredited, your club will be listed on the national database and in other sporting directories which will help you attract new members and to grow.
