The Gaelic Games Associations are delighted to announce that the ground-breaking Leading Provincial Females programme is now open for registration for the 2025 in-take. Last July, 76 participants successfully graduated from the 2023/2024 Leading Provincial Females programme, an initiative made possible by the Sport Ireland Women in Sport fund that provides a platform for women aged 18 and over from all four provinces to develop vital leadership skills within the Gaelic Games community.
The programme, which will run from February to November next year, with an extended break built into the schedule over the summer months, offers a unique blend of in-person workshops and online webinars, ensuring flexibility and accessibility for participants. Each participant will be required to attend three in-person workshops all of which focus on developing and refining leadership skills irrespective of role or code from across the family of Gaelic Games.
In addition to these interactive workshops, participants will again complete a minimum of four modules from key thematic strands: coaching, officiating, administration, and PR/Media. These modules are designed to equip the graduates with practical tools and knowledge for their current or future roles within Gaelic Games, whether as coaches, match officials, administrators, or volunteers. To embed this knowledge further, this year each participant will asked to deliver a short project within the unit the participant is most active with.
Throughout the programme, participants will again benefit from expert guidance provided by experienced leadership trainers, as well as the opportunity to network with like-minded women committed to making an impact in Gaelic Games. The programme emphasises not only leadership development but also personal growth, with participants gaining invaluable insight into their own leadership styles and capabilities.
Coinciding with this, several graduates from this the 23/24 cohort will also embark on the next phase of their leadership journey as they progress into the group mentoring phase of the programme. This will offer further personalised support and guidance, ensuring that these emerging leaders can continue to build on the skills and knowledge they have acquired, while making meaningful contributions to their Clubs, communities and Gaelic Games organisations.
