20 Club Marks Awarded to Leeds Beckett Teams in 2025

The Club Mark was introduced in September 2018 to recognise those Clubs operating at a high standard and to encourage other Clubs to aspire to the same standards. The Mark recognises achievements in 7 key areas: Committee & Organisation, Coaching, Social & Welfare, Finance, Activity, Competition and Community.

Clubs with the accreditation will now be entitled to certain benefits and rewards dependent on their award level, including access to additional funding, free Varsity t-shirts and priority access to facilities.

‘I’m delighted that we had so many successful applications.'

Speaking about the Club Development Mark, Student Sport Manager Jo Mannion said ‘I’m delighted that we had so many successful applications. The Club Mark is intended to be a clear indicator to prospective members, coaches and sponsors that a club is well operated, inclusive and enterprising. I would like to congratulate all Clubs who have been successful in achieving the Club Mark and look forward to submissions from the rest of our Clubs in the coming months!’

Men's Lacrosse Club Captain Finlay Clemens was delighted to be awarded the Gold Club Mark award, the first time in the Clubs history; "Achieving Gold in the club mark application feels like a really good reflection of the hard work that has  been put into the club by not just the committee members but also all of our players too, this has been a huge milestone for us as a club and shows how far we have come in the last year!"
