Our project provides female-designed rugby kits for our U14s Girls Team, enhancing comfort, performance, and inclusivity, boosting participation, confidence, and supporting gender equality at Irvine Rugby Club.
Description
This initiative promotes gender equality by encouraging participation and boosting confidence. The U14s Girls Team, which currently has 7 regular players, which has doubled since August 2023 and they are currently using the Irvine Ladies’ old kit designed for men, not tailored for female players. By providing gender-specific rugby kits, we aim to ensure the girls feel comfortable and better prepared, enhancing their performance and overall experience on the field. Through our attached development plan, we aim to increase the number of girls playing over the next few years. Introducing a dedicated kit will boost visibility, encourage participation, and reinforce our commitment to gender equality in sports, fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment that empowers female players to thrive.
The proposed costs are for 12 of each:
Female fitted shorts £200
Female fitted rugby shirts £800
Location: We are a not for Profit Sports organisation providing rugby and the associated physical, social and wellbeing benefits that go along with that. As a community Club we want to give back to our local community and improve the lives of those people within it.
