Women in Sport

Cavan Sports Partnership is dedicated to increasing female participation in sport and physical activity, ensuring that women and girls of all ages and backgrounds have equal opportunities to engage, compete, and thrive. Through targeted programmes, funding support, and community initiatives, we aim to break down barriers, promote inclusivity, and create a lasting culture of female involvement in sports.

Aligned with Sport Ireland’s Women in Sport Policy, our initiatives focus on four key areas:

• Her Moves – A campaign aimed at encouraging teenage girls to stay active in a fun and social way.
• Women on the Move – A community-based initiative providing women with structured and enjoyable physical activity sessions.
• Leadership & Coaching Support – Grants and workshops to help women step into coaching, officiating, and leadership roles.
• Inclusive Sport for All – Targeted programmes ensuring women from all backgrounds, including ethnic minorities and those with disabilities, can access and enjoy sport.

We recognise the challenges that prevent women from engaging in sports, such as lack of confidence, time constraints, and societal pressures. Cavan Sports Partnership is working to address these issues through flexible programmes, childcare supports, and safe, welcoming environments for women to participate.

Whether you are an athlete, coach, volunteer, or someone looking to start your journey in sport, there is a place for you. Explore our upcoming programmes, apply for Women in Sport funding, or get involved in local clubs by visiting our website or following us on social media.

Together, we can create a stronger, more inclusive future for women in sport in Cavan.
