Cavan Sports Partnership is excited to announce the development of a new Local Sports Plan, aimed at improving sports and physical activity opportunities for everyone in our community. This plan, in collaboration with Sport Ireland, will guide the future of sports in Cavan, ensuring it reflects the diverse needs and aspirations of all residents, from beginners to elite athletes.
As part of the national strategy to promote participation and inclusion in sport, Sport Ireland has worked with Local Sports Partnerships across the country to develop tailored plans that reflect the unique characteristics of each community. For Cavan, this is an opportunity to create a roadmap for the future of sport—one that aligns with local needs, enhances existing programmes, and creates new pathways for participation.
The Local Sports Plan will also focus on key areas like inclusivity, youth participation, gender equality, and support for underrepresented groups. We want to ensure that every person in Cavan, regardless of age, background, or ability, has the opportunity to get involved in physical activity and experience the benefits of a healthy, active lifestyle.
The Local Sports Plan will be built around four key pillars:
We want to make sure that everyone in Cavan has access to sports and physical activities. This includes improving facilities, supporting local sports clubs, and ensuring that people have opportunities to get involved regardless of their circumstances.
Engaging with the local community is crucial to the plan’s success. We will hold consultations and engage with sports clubs, schools, community groups, and individuals to gather input and feedback on what the community wants and needs from its sports programmes.
A core focus will be the development of coaching pathways, improving training for coaches, and providing opportunities for those interested in sports leadership roles. This ensures that we have skilled and passionate individuals delivering quality sports programmes.
We believe that partnerships are key to driving change. Cavan Sports Partnership will work alongside local councils, clubs, schools, and other stakeholders to build a coordinated approach to sports development. Together, we will create opportunities, enhance participation, and make a lasting impact on our community.
A significant part of the Local Sports Plan development process is listening to you! We want to ensure that this plan reflects the needs of our community, and your voice is important in shaping it. Over the coming months, we will be hosting consultation sessions, surveys, and focus groups where you can share your thoughts and ideas.
We encourage everyone to get involved—whether you are a parent, coach, athlete, or just someone who enjoys staying active. Your feedback will help guide us in creating a plan that works for everyone.
The Local Sports Plan is a long-term commitment to improving sports opportunities across Cavan, and we are just getting started. As we move forward, we will be sharing more information and updates on the plan’s progress. Here’s what you can expect:
Our goal is to create a local sports ecosystem where everyone feels included, supported, and empowered to engage in physical activity. By working together, we can achieve this vision for a healthier, more active Cavan.
Stay tuned for more updates, and be sure to participate in the consultation process—your voice matters! Let’s work together to shape the future of sport in our community.
