Granite City Wanderers first for Enhanced clubCAP Accreditation
Granite City Wanderers Hockey Club has become the first
Grampian city sports club to receive The Enhanced clubCAP
accreditation, which is nationally recognised by sportscotland. The
city council’s Active Communities team co-ordinates the scheme in
Aberdeen.
The quality assurance scheme provides a development tool for
sports clubs, enabling them to demonstrate good practice in the
running of the club. Being awarded clubCAP accreditation lets the
sporting community, prospective new members and parents know that
the club operates in a safe and wellorganised manner.

sporting community, prospective new members and parents know that
the club operates in a safe and well organised manner.
The scheme recognises and rewards good practice in sports clubs
by looking at four main areas within clubs: club management; equity
and ethics; quality coaching programmes; and safety and child
protection.
The scheme involves two levels of accreditation – standard and
enhanced. Granite City Wanderers achieved their standard
accreditation last year but have been recognised as one of
Aberdeen’s forward thinking and well run sports clubs and therefore
have become the first Sports Club to receive the enhanced
award.
Club President Mark Pain was delighted at achieving the enhanced
award:
“As a club Granite City try to provide a safe and nurturing
environment for all its players it is a great honour to be
recognised for our efforts, it has taken a lot of dedicated work
from a lot of our members to achieve this. We are under no
allusions that the award is for a two year period and we will be
doing our best to continue our efforts to be the first club to be
renewed in 2013.”
Granite City Wanderers Hockey Club are about to celebrate their
tenth anniversary as a club in Aberdeen and their rise through the
ranks of Scottish Hockey has been sustained throughout the ten year
period. They have now a membership of over 160 members..
