Clubforce | Connacht Rugby Emerging Talent Programme Giving Girls The Opportunity To Develop & Grow
Clubforce is working with Connacht Rugby to promote female participation at grassroots level. This involves 26 rugby clubs and player coaching from minis through to senior women’s teams.
This sponsorship has enabled a player pathway initiative aimed at getting young girls involved in rugby and improving retention rates as they progress to adulthood.

“The growth of women’s rugby in the last number of years in Ireland is testament to initiatives like this. Girls can now have a clear pathway to lead them all the way to the top. It’s exciting and I’m looking forward to seeing the future stars growing from grassroots to green shirts.”
