CLUB DEVELOPMENT

We support clubs to improve their structures and capacities to ensure best practice in the delivery of sport at community level. The programme focus is on education, training, information and supports to develop areas such as club governance, inclusion and coach education.

Carlow Sports Partnership provides free, convenient, practical resources to help organisations to develop, grow and become more sustainable and successful.

  • Run an existing club, group or organisation, whether large or small, formal or informal;
  • Are thinking about setting up a new club, group or organisation;
  • Support, are undertaking or considering facility development; or
