Stainsby Hall Cricket Club

The Committee and Coaches of Stainsby Hall Cricket Club are working towards the achievement of the ECB Clubmark accreditation.

This award, which Stainsby Hall Cricket Club is hoping to join, is a nationally based recognition that a number of cricket clubs across England and Wales that are prioritising junior development and in so doing will be creating a benchmark for high quality community club cricket. In achieving the Clubmark status, Stainsby Hall Cricket Club will have been independently assessed as delivering the best practice across the following key areas:-
• Duty of Care and Safeguarding of Children
• The Cricket Programme
• Sports Equity and Ethics
• Club Management
The documents in the Club ECB Clubmark Folder that can be viewed at the Club, present the principles and foundations upon which the Club aims to operate. All members and associates of the Club, be they players, officials, coaches, supporters, parents or helpers, are invited to review the enclosures and are encouraged to adopt the codes of conduct and follow the policies of the procedures therein.
We look forward to working with you all in maintaining the standards required for this recognition.
