The initiative was launched on May 11th in conjunction with Leinster Camogie Council
Leinster Camogie recently launched a new Period Pack initiative for teenage players all across the country. The launch of period packs for teenage camogie players across their underage squads has been warmly welcomed as an important and progressive initiative for female athletes across the wider game. The initiative, supported through Leinster Camogie Council, represents a significant step forward in promoting player welfare, inclusion and wellbeing, while also helping to tackle the stigma that still exists around menstruation in sport.
The availability of period products for young players has become an increasingly important issue within female sport in recent years, with research showing that many teenage girls can feel anxious, embarrassed or uncomfortable when dealing with periods during training or matches. In some cases, it can even impact participation and confidence levels among young athletes.
By introducing period packs for players, Leinster Camogie aims to create a more supportive and understanding environment where girls feel comfortable, prepared and empowered to continue participating in camogie without unnecessary barriers. A huge amount of work, spearheaded by Leinster Camogie Development Officer Linda Leavy, has gone into bringing the project to fruition.
