Your Club, Your Community, Your GamePlan
Protecting the Heart of Irish Sport
In Ireland, the local club is more than just a place to play, it’s the heartbeat of the community. But off the pitch, gambling-related harm can put players, families, and the very fabric of our clubs at risk.
The Gameplan Hub www.thegameplanhub.ie is a dedicated resource designed to bridge the gap between sporting excellence and community welfare. We ensure that every player, coach, and volunteer has a clear, confidential, and safe pathway to support when they need it most.
Supporting Every Member of the Club
We provide specialised toolkits tailored for the specific roles within the Irish sporting landscape:- Athletes & Players: Resources on spotting red flags and maintaining focus on the game.
- Coaches & Mentors: Frameworks for fostering healthy team cultures and open dialogue.
- Wellbeing Officers: Practical guides for intervention and connecting members to professional support.
- Interactive Tools: Secure, anonymous self-assessment tools to encourage early intervention.
The Gameplan also offers a comprehensive, free self-serve toolkit designed specifically for Irish sports clubs and organisations to promote gambling awareness and support.
What’s Included in the Toolkit?
- The Gameplan Hub: Direct access to educational resources at thegameplanhub.ie, including self-assessment and budgeting tools.
- Social Media & Email Packs: A full digital pack to help you reach your entire community across WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and email.
