Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Sports Partnership are delighted to announce that they will be delivering another bespoke DLR Women in Sport Leadership Course to clubs in the County in September 2022. This is the second time this highly rated, award winning, national course is being rolled out here.

This leadership programme has already proved to be hugely successful elsewhere with over 230 female participants spanning over 52 sporting bodies creating a strong network of female leaders. Participants have included club members, athletes, coaches, volunteers, board members and support personnel from a variety of backgrounds and all ages within clubs and National Governing Bodies. Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Sports Partnership are delighted to be in a position to offer this course to 18 female volunteers involved in various roles at club level.

DLR Sports Partnership would like to invite all sports clubs in the county to our Sports Forum meeting on Thursday 30th June in The Talbot Hotel, Stillorgan. The key topic of discussion will be Concussion Awareness in Sport with guest speaker Shane Mooney from the IRFU.

We will also be updating clubs on:

• Grants & Funding Available.
• Updates and signposting around opportunities in the County for local clubs.
• What supports we in DLR Sports Partnership provide to local clubs.

This meeting is an important opportunity to network and help increase communications among local clubs and assist in maximising resources. Registration is free but must be booked in advance through the following link https://dlrsportsforumjune2022.eventbrite.ie
