Cork Sports Programmes
Cork Sports Programmes are supported by the Cork Local Sports Partnership Ltd
The Cork Sports Programmes are a new initiative from the Irish Sports Council and the Cork Sports Partnership to help develop sport in Cork. There are currently 15 sports involved in the initiative, with the programmes currently running throughout Cork.
The Sports Partnership aims to bring additional sports into the Sports Programmes in 2011 and 2012 which will see the Partnership working closer with the National Governing Bodies, County Boards, and Development Officers of the sports. The focus will be to identify areas at grassroots that target participation and implement sustainable development programmes for each of the sports to help increase the number of participants involved in sport throughout Cork.
The Sports Partnership will be providing support to the current sports programmes through providing equipment, coaching courses, tutor training, programme costs, participation development programmes and any other support the clubs, schools and sport needs to help increase and sustain participation levels.
One of the main focuses of these programmes is to create more opportunities for people to get involved in sport and to keep them involved on completion ofthe programme. These opportunities will come in the form of linking schools, clubs and communities together and strengthening the relationships between them so that the opportunity for participation is for the long term and not just a once off.
