Sports clubs of all codes throughout County Louth are being invited to nominate their club volunteer of the year, someone who they feel should be recognised and celebrated for their contribution to providing sporting opportunities within their local community.

Louth Local Sports Partnership has recently launched the 2nd Annual ‘Sports Club’ Volunteer of Year Awards 2024, to recognise and honour the huge community of volunteers across County Louth who give their time to provide sport and physical activity opportunities across the County. The inaugural awards in 2023 recognised volunteers from 103 clubs.

More than 450,000 people across Ireland volunteer in sports clubs on a weekly basis ensuring opportunities to participate in sport and physical activity are provided in every community. Without them there would be no teams coached, no pitches lined, no matches played or races run.

They are there to support sporting clubs and communities from early morning to late at night without any expectation of recognition or reward.

Louth Local Sports Partnership is hosting this Awards ceremony to recognise and honour these people. The awards ceremony will take place on Monday November 11th 2024, in the Carrickdale Hotel.

One volunteer from every club in Louth will be honoured at the awards ceremony.

Application forms can be requested via email by contacting Louth Local Sports Partnership at Louthlsp@louthcoco.ie  

Closing date for nominations is Wednesday 9th October 2024 at 5pm.
