Accreditation & Partners

Attention: open in a new window. PrintE-mail

Manchester Korfball Club takes its responsibilities to its members seriously and has worked hard to gain accreditation with local and national sports development teams. This section details the accreditation and partners we have established to date.


Clubmark

Clubmark is the Sport England mark of high quality junior clubs and is the only national cross sports quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections. It is built around a set of core criteria which ensure that accredited clubs operate to a set of consistent, accepted and adopted minimum operating standards.

Sport England recognises and values the commitment made by sports clubs to develop high quality, welcoming environments for young participants. The development of clubs that encourage young people to take-up sport, improve their talents and give them the option to initiate and maintain life-long participation in sport is an essential part of our work to support the sporting infrastructure in England.

Clubmark accreditation was awarded Manchester Korfball Club in 2009 to acknowledge the fact that we have complied with requirements with regard to:

  • Our playing/participation programme.
  • Duty of care and safeguarding and protecting children.
  • Knowing our club and its community.
  • Club management.


Sport Trafford

Manchester Korfball Club is also a Sport Trafford accredited club. Sport Trafford offers a package to clubs that are Clubmark accredited, including 100% rate relief, access to preferential bookings and rates, raised profile in communications and one to one Club development support.


Change4Life

People from all over the country are coming together in a movement called Change4Life. The aim of Change4Life is to prevent people from becoming overweight by encouraging and supporting them to eat well, move more and live longer. Modern life has brought many positives, but it has also made it harder for us to make healthy choices. Modern life has made it too easy for us to eat unhealthy foods and lead a sedentary life. Change4Life recognises these modern day pressures parents are under and is here to help.

Manchester Korfball Club is a Change4Life partner and actively supports the aims of the Change4Life movement. Every year members of the club works with Schools in Manchester to promote the benefits of regular exercise through playing the sport of korfball.
