Write a commentOrganised locally by John Feehan and delivered by Newry Sports Partnership CIC and funded by the Sport NI Awards 4 Sport programme, Women, Get Set, Go! is a personal development programme that has been specifically designed by Sports Leaders UK for women and girls (14 years and over)
It encourages females to enter into community leisure leadership positions, and to develop their involvement both for their own benefit and for the benefit of the community in general.
The course encourages women and girls to communicate with confidence, value their own skills, understand how the world of sport and leadership works, and to develop a personal action plan for their future. In addition, there are plenty of activities and coaching sessions to increase participation in sport.
Lead Tutor, Sinead Nolan was thrilled to deliver the first Women Get Set Go! Session here in Northern Ireland and was impressed with the attitude of the group.
She commented, “This course is perfect for girls and women who want to get more involved in organising activities in their Club or community group”.
As part of the course the group will be volunteering in schools and community groups to encourage greater participation in sport especially those aged 9-17.
