Following a review process, Ulster Hockey and Hockey Ireland are pleased to announce the launch of the newly designed ‘Clubmark’ programme.
The coordination between Ulster Hockey and Hockey Ireland insure that we have common standards across clubs around Ireland. Our goal has been to maintain the standards of the programme, while making it as user-friendly for clubs as possible.
This initial phase sees the ‘Bronze’ level launched, the ‘Silver’ level is due to be announced in early January, with ‘Gold’ to follow before the end of the season.
‘ACHIEVING CLUBMARK SIGNALS THAT YOUR CLUB PROVIDES A QUALITY SPORTING EXPERIENCE, OPEN TO ALL AND DELIVERED IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT, ADMINISTERED BY AN EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT COMMITTEE.’
Clubmark aims to identify, develop, accredit and recognise high quality Hockey clubs and the contribution that they make to the development of the game across the island of Ireland. We value the essential and significant role that clubs play in the development of hockey, through participation, talent development and community engagement.
Hockey’s Clubmark Programme is designed to provide clubs with the resources to develop a Club Development Strategy that will:
· Support the club management and administration to provide the best service to its members
· Provide and development new and existing programmes to provide opportunities for members
· Attract new club members whilst retaining current members
· Guarantee a ‘quality standard’ in specific areas of your club such as governance and safeguarding
