Women in Sport - Athletics Ireland

Athletics Ireland has been advocating for the participation of women at all levels, through their commitment to creating more opportunities for female athletes, coaches and administrators. Athletics Ireland have received funding from Sport Ireland in the hope of delivering their women in sport objectives. 

Sport Ireland have identified four key areas which have emerged as current gaps and future opportunities for women in sport. These target areas are as follows: 

  • Coaching and Officiating
  • Active Participation
  • Leadership and Governance
  • Visibility 

To address the target areas and achieve the identified objectives, we have devised a number of programmes and initiatives to support and encourage all female participation. 

  • Forerunners – Leadership & Governance/Coaching
  • The Girls Squad-Active Participation/Leadership
  • Fit4Life Active- Participation
  • Fit4 Mothers and Others-Active Participation
  • Her Outdoors
  • Inspire Ambassadors
  • Women in Sport Week 
  • Student Coaching Network

For more information on any of the above, please contact our Women in Sport Lead, Anna Grealish at annagrealish@athleticsireland.ie.
