Coaching Teenage Girls Workshop

Sport Ireland Coaching Teenage Girls Workshops provide a valuable opportunity to educate, upskill, and support coaches working with teenage girls.   

The workshops support coaches in creating a more positive and inclusive sporting environment.   

By equipping coaches with the knowledge and tools to better understand and engage teenage girls, the workshops address barriers to participation, build confidence, and encourage long-term involvement in sport.  

Through this initiative, Sport Ireland seeks to enhance the sporting experience for teenage girls across Ireland, ensuring they feel supported, motivated, and empowered to stay active during these critical years.   

The CTG workshops support the delivery of Sport Ireland’s Policy on Women in Sport, specifically Objective 5: Reducing the dropout rate in physical activity and sport among teenage girls.   

More than 1,000 coaches have taken part in the workshops, online and in person, since they launched. The workshop has now been redeveloped to include statistics on barriers and motivators for teenage girls in in sport, educational videos to support tutor delivery and information about female puberty.  

All relevant resources from the workshop are also available on the coaches’ section of the Her Moves hub.   

These include:  

• The Menstrual Cycle: A guide to Supporting Girls in Sport 
• Body Appreciation! Appreciate your body for what it can do and enables you to experience! 
• Period Positive Posters 
• Her Moves - It's Complicated video  

The workshop also features communication strategies and advice on how to create a positive coaching environment.  

Sport Ireland tutor training ensures that tutors have the tools required to deliver the updated content. National Governing Bodies of Sport, Local Sports Partnerships and other Sport Ireland funded bodies are now delivering the new workshops, which are available for coaches from all sports.
