Development

Cavan Sports Partnership is dedicated to strengthening and supporting sports clubs across the county by providing the resources, training, and guidance needed for long-term success. Whether you are an established club looking to expand or a new club just starting out, we offer expert advice and practical support to help you develop, grow, and create a positive sporting environment for all.

We understand the challenges that clubs face in terms of funding, governance, volunteer recruitment, and participation. Our club development support includes:

• Guidance on setting up and running a club effectively, including governance structures, policies, and legal requirements.
• Advice on compliance with safeguarding policies, health and safety, and insurance requirements.
• Support for clubs in applying for funding and grants.

• Training and workshops to upskill coaches and volunteers, ensuring they have the knowledge and confidence to lead effectively.
• Safeguarding and child protection training to ensure a safe environment for young participants.
• Leadership training to help clubs build strong management teams.

• Assistance in promoting club activities to attract new members and retain existing ones.
• Development of initiatives to encourage participation among underrepresented groups, including women and girls, ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities.
• Support for clubs in running open days, taster sessions, and outreach programmes.

Cavan Sports Partnership encourages clubs to work together, share knowledge, and support each other. We facilitate networking events, knowledge-sharing workshops, and partnerships between clubs, schools, and local organisations to strengthen the sporting community.
