| Osaka and Clubmark |
|---|
| Judo Club Osaka achieved Clubmark in November 2007 following submission of its evidence portfolio to the British Judo Association. The club demonstrated it was complying with the required minimum operating standards in regard to: Revalidation is required every two years. Osaka was only the second judo club in Hampshire to achieve Clubmark and the ninth club in any sport within the Borough of Rushmoor. |
| What is Clubmark? |
| Clubmark is a cross-sport quality accreditation for clubs with junior sections. According to research conducted by the Northwest Regional Development Agency in 2004, three fifths (60.5%) of young people belong to a sports club outside school. It is vital that these clubs serve young people well. Sports clubs that work with children and young people need and deserve support to improve the quality of work they do so that we can: National governing bodies of sport (NGBs) and county sport partnerships (CSPs) award Clubmark to proven high quality clubs. The national scheme has been in place since 2002 and there are now over 3,000 accredited clubs across 29 sports. The aim is that by 2008 this will have increased to 5,000 and that Clubmark will be the stamp of approval to which all sports clubs aspire. Each club that achieves accreditation will be recognised and promoted as a Clubmark club. This gives it cross-sport recognition and nationally acknowledged status as a quality club. Clubs that achieve Clubmark status will be highlighted and prominent on a national database and other forms of club directories, and will be able to promote this ‘added value’ locally.
