Launching Girls Squad CLUBS

19 March 2026

Athletics Ireland is excited to launch our new club based Teenage Girls programme, Girls Squad CLUBS!. This programme is for clubs who want to support and encourage existing girls and attract new club members. This programme builds on our successful Girls Squad Schools programme and uses the HERMoves ethos which is all about keeping teenage girls involved in activity.

This programme is for clubs who want to grow their teenage girls base or support existing girls who want to participate rather than compete.  The coaches’ resources provides a 6-week taster session plan based on fun and inclusive track and field events and games. It would be a great way for clubs to encourage more teenage girls to join the club.

The club coach lead is the ideal person to sign up and lead this programme.

The programme includes:

  • Coaching Resources (digital resources for club coaches)
  • Athletics Girls Squad CLUBs T-shirts for the first 500 girls
  • Coaching hoodies for the first 20 coaches to sign up
  • Coaching Teenage Girls Workshop 17th April PM (on-line workshop delivered by Coach Developers)
  • Coaches on-line webinar on ‘Talking Periods’ with Orna Murray

 

Deadline for clubs to sign up to the programme is Friday 27th March
