For those interested to learn more about the Participation Review, and its findings, where should they go?
The Review, which is available to read here, sets out a number of key recommendations developed to improve the domestic game for men and women across Ulster, which include:
- The review of competition structures to better reflect player, team, and club needs.
- Development of structures for young players to play with their peers – to promote age-grade to adult transition.
- Support the demand for a wider variety of club-based activities throughout the week.
