Women in Sport Leadership Development Programme 2026

Step forward. Build confidence. Lead the way.

Meath Local Sports Partnership is delighted to continue supporting women in sport by launching a new Women in Sport Leadership Development Programme in 2026.

This exciting programme is designed for women who are ready to grow, develop new skills, and take the next step in their leadership journey, whether within their club, county, or beyond.

Could this be for you?

Do you know a woman aged 18+ who volunteers in a sports club or organisation, or are you that person yourself?

If you’re passionate about sport and interested in making a greater impact, this programme offers the perfect opportunity to develop the confidence, knowledge, and support network needed to step into a leadership role.

We are looking for women who are:

✅ Club members, coaches, volunteers, or parents who want to develop their skills and confidence

✅ Interested in taking on leadership roles within their club, committee, county, or national sporting organisation

✅ Ready to contribute more to their club and make a positive difference

✅ Full of potential but may not yet see themselves as leaders
