A Chara,

The Gaelic Games Associations have joined forces to announce details of the forthcoming Provincial Female Leadership programme. This 12-month programme, secured through the support of the Sport Ireland Women in Sport fund, will run from October 2023 until July 2024, with follow-up work to be completed thereafter.  The Leading Provincial Females programme is designed for females aged 18+ interested in personal development and potentially leading teams.  Four programmes will be held in each of the four provinces and all participants will attend two days, one at the start of the programme and one at the end, which will examine their leadership skills. 

Attendance is also required at a mid-point evening session, again focusing on leadership skills, while participants must complete at least two modules from themes across the four strands of coaching, officiating, administration, and PR/Media between each of those dates, minimum four in total.  This is a blended course, consisting of face-to-face sessions and online webinars, and the benefits are multi-fold for participants.  They will have the chance to engage with like-minded future leaders in Gaelic Games, while also gaining insight and understanding of their own leadership styles. Training and advice will be provided by experienced leadership trainers.

This programme is for females who wish to develop and hone their leadership skills, while also furthering development as a coach, match official, administrator or any volunteer role in Gaelic Games.

We welcome applications from females at all levels within the association. For more information, please click on the link below and to apply for the programme, please click HERE.
