​
Eithne & Vicky established Go Girls in Wicklow Town in 2017 after witnessing a huge number of girls dropping out of competitive sport.
​
We were selected by Social Entrepreneurs Ireland to join their National Academy Programme in 2018 -
As a business successfully solving the social issue of "Girls Dropping out of Sport"
​
Since then we have established thriving groups in Bray and Greystones, as well as Wicklow Town. With over 300 girls coming through our programmes, we have witnessed girls rejoin sports that they had left, start new sports they never imagined they could do, establish lasting friendships, and most importantly embrace sport on their own terms.
