England Basketball accredit eight clubs in one week
26th May 2011
England Basketball accredited eight new basketball clubs just in time for inclusion in the England Basketball Clubmark Incentive Scheme, ending on 31st March 2011, with three from West Yorkshire.
Clubmark Administrator, Craig Costello commented:
"The deadline week is always a hectic one, but this year proved to be even more so. No doubt the generous monetary Clubmark Incentive Scheme for this season was an attractive prospect to those clubs working towards the accreditation, but the high number of clubs achieving the award is a positive reflection on the great work done by these clubs and their local Basketball Development Officers."
The eight successful clubs are Salford Vikings, Wells Warriors, Bracknell Cobras,Leeds Mandela Warriors, Deighton, Huddersfield Heat, Southend Scorpions and Northampton Nets.
Louise Purdy, West Yorkshire Basketball Development Officer said: "Clubmark has helped our clubs become more organised and efficient and supported them in developing a long-term vision for their club.
"If you would to achieve clubmark and received the £500 incentive award please contact me onlouise.purdy@wysport.co.uk
Peter Broderick of Leeds Mandela Warriors commented: "We are extremely proud to have received this award as it recognises the efforts of all our club organisers and volunteers in all the activities we do within the club. As we continue to develop, Clubmark is an important milestone to reach and gives us a solid organisational standard on which to base our further work. We are very thankful of the support provided by England Basketball during the completion of this award."
Basil Richards of Deighton Basketball Club stated: "This accreditation will certainly inspire us all to continue the development and progression of our club."
