Kookateki Judo Club has
become the first sports club in Northern Ireland to be accredited
with the prestigious Sports NI Clubmark silver award.
Sport Northern Ireland
Clubmark is the country’s new quality standard for junior sports
clubs. The programme aims to identify, develop, accredit and recognise
high quality junior sports clubs and the contribution that they
make to the development of sport in Northern Ireland.
The flourishing Kookateki
Judo Club, only formed in February 2010, has become a prominent
judo club in the country with five training venues across North
Belfast.

our reputation as a club committed to quality. Accreditation will
undoubtedly help us to recruit and retain members.

silver clubmark shows the continued determination and effort the
club puts into its development. The club is very forward thinking
and has great aspirations to expand its schools links programme
