Junior Clubmark Scheme
Junior
Clubmark is a quality assurance scheme which aims to raise the standards within
junior sports clubs across Northern Ireland. There are two awards that your
junior club can apply for. Junior Clubmark or Junior Goldclub. Once achieved,
parents, junior members, prospective members and the volunteer coaches, helpers
and administrators will know that your club is committed to providing safe,
quality sporting opportunities for young people.
Clubmark
sets a standard by specifying a number of criteria. Perhaps your club meets some
or all of these.
-
·
Appropriate time for junior club sessions;
-
·
Child friendly, qualified coaches;
-
·
Appropriate safety and administration
procedures in place;
-
·
Links with other clubs and schools;
-
·
The potential for young people to progress as
performers
administrators and coaches;
-
·
Recognition of all young people for their
contribution to the club.
In
addition, clubs that can meet additional criteria which highlights their
commitment to continuously improving their opportunities for young people will
be eligible for Goldclub.
These
include:
-
·
Opportunities for inter club competition;
-
·
Links with external agencies;
-
·
The development and recognition of volunteers
within the club;
-
·
Structured activities with local schools.
Junior
clubs are crucial to the development of young people in sport. However, the
pressures on volunteers are growing all the time. Why not find out more about
the Clubmark Scheme and how it can assist you to raise the quality of your club
whilst offering support and recognition to your volunteers.
