Clubmark
ECB ClubMark is the national accreditation scheme for cricket clubs. It shows your club is well run, sustainable, and committed to providing a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment for players, volunteers and members of all ages.
For parents and carers, ClubMark provides reassurance that your club is a trusted place for young people to enjoy cricket in a positive and rewarding setting.
Why Clubmark Matters
Clubmark isn't just a badge - it's a practical framework that helps clubs improve the way they operate.
It supports your club to:
- Run more effectively with stronger governance and planning
- Demonstrate high standards in safeguarding and welfare
- Build trust with parents, players, and volunteers
- Strengthen eligibility for funding, grants, and partnerships
- Create a more inclusive environment for everyone involved in the club
