As a single, national standard, Clubmark gives sports clubs of all types structure and direction. Clubs awarded Clubmark have seen many tangible benefits, such as: 

• Club development: The foundation for any club is its youth structure. By encouraging and attracting young members, it is building a strong future.

• Increased membership: Addressing issues like equity and child protection gives parents confidence when choosing a club for their children.

• Developing coaches and volunteers: As part of Clubmark, clubs receive help in developing the skills of those involved in their organisation.

• Raised profile: Once Clubmark accredited, clubs will be listed on a national database and in other directories, to help them attract new members and grow.

"Clubs which have joined the scheme are finding it well worth it. By having recognised standards of child protection, coaching, equity and good management they find it easier to attract and keep members, improve the club's profile and build for the future." Roger Draper, Chief Executive, Lawn Tennis Association.
