Men’s Programmes

                                An Active Healthy Leitrim for All

Leitrim Sports Partnership is dedicated to helping men in Leitrim engage in sports and physical activities. Our mission is to work with key partners to develop and implement community-based initiatives that encourage more men, particularly those who are not consistently active, to participate.

Initiatives

• Men on the Move is a health and fitness initiative aimed at encouraging men to become more active in a supportive and social environment. This program focuses on improving overall fitness and well-being through a variety of fun and engaging physical activities. Participants are guided by experienced coaches who provide personalized fitness plans and motivation to help men build confidence and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
• Walking Football is a unique take on the traditional game, designed for those who want to enjoy the sport at a slower pace. This program is perfect for men who may have stopped playing regular football due to age or injury but still want to stay active and socially connected. The rules are adapted to reduce the risk of injury, making it an accessible and enjoyable way to keep fit and improve cardiovascular health.
• Lads on the Lake is an outdoor adventure program that combines physical activity with the natural beauty of local lakes. Participants engage in activities like kayaking, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding, promoting fitness while fostering a sense of camaraderie and teamwork. This program is ideal for men seeking a refreshing way to stay active while enjoying the serene and picturesque surroundings.
• Scooch is an innovative program that introduces men to a fun and social sport similar to bocce or pétanque, played on a smaller, indoor court. It is designed to enhance coordination, balance, and strategic thinking while encouraging social interaction. Scooch is perfect for men looking for a low-impact activity that is both mentally stimulating and physically engaging.
