Following the success of its inaugural year, Cork Sports Partnership, in collaboration with a wide range of National Governing Bodies of Sport, is delighted to launch Year Two of Cork Coaching Month. This month-long initiative continues to support, educate and inspire coaches across Cork, helping to strengthen coaching at every stage of the sporting pathway.
Throughout November 2026, a diverse programme of workshops, courses and webinars will provide valuable learning opportunities for coaches, teachers, students, volunteers and club leaders. Whether you are taking your first steps into coaching or looking to expand your knowledge and skills, Cork Coaching Month offers practical insights, expert guidance and opportunities to learn from experienced practitioners.
Why Take Part?
Great coaches play a vital role in creating positive sporting experiences, developing athletes and fostering inclusive, welcoming environments. Cork Coaching Month is an opportunity to invest in your own development, connect with fellow coaches and gain new ideas that can make a lasting impact in your club, school or community.
