Cliftonettes Netball Club has been awarded the BRONZE CAPS Accreditation- this is England Netball's measure of a quality club.
The process of collating the required evidence, the attendance by officials on workshops and training events has taken some considerable time and effort.
The club is now recognised as a quality standard accredited club by schools, local authorities, County Sport Partnerships, other clubs, England Netball and Sport England.
The club has appropriately accredited coaches, officials & volunteers; robust structures for development and club members are in a quality environment.
The outcomes/ benefits from CAPS accreditation are very positive such as access to certain competitions and funding for example.
Many thanks to all those officials who helped in the process of gaining this award.
