Clare chosen as pilot county for Local Sports and Physical Activity Plan

Clare to develop template of 'good practice' for local sports to be replicated across the country

Clare chosen as pilot county for Local Sports and Physical Activity Plan

Clare County Council, in partnership with Clare Sports Partnership, has developed a Draft Local Sports and Physical Activity Plan.

Chosen by Sport Ireland as one of four pilot counties, Clare has been developing a template of good practice for local sports plans that will be replicated across the country.

This initiative highlights Clare’s dedication to fostering a healthy, active community for all its residents.

The Plan is built around three key themes of Active People and Communities, Active Spaces and Places and Active Leadership and Partnerships.

These themes focus on increasing participation, enhancing sports infrastructure, and building strong leadership to support sports development across the county.

All sporting bodies and individuals across the county are invited to provide feedback to Clare County Council.

The Plan aims to create a sustainable and inclusive sporting environment by utilising the county's infrastructure, promoting leadership in sport, and building partnerships that will make Clare a national role model for the positive development of Sports and Physical Activity.

By working together with local clubs, communities, and stakeholders, Clare County Council and Clare Sports Partnership are committed to delivering a plan that truly reflects the needs of the people of Clare.

The council is inviting views and directions from residents, representitives from local sports clubs, Governing Bodies and more.

The public can view the Draft Local Sport and Physical Activity Plan online, and also during normal opening hours at all Clare council and Municipal District offices, public libraries in Ennis, Shannon, Kilrush, Ennistymon and Killaloe, and at the Active Ennis Leisure Complex, Highfield Road, Ennis.

Submissions/observations may be made during the period from November 1 2024 to 30 November 2024 inclusive.
