OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE is to use sport as a vehicle for the development of social skills, academic support, building self-esteem and a sense of teaming amongst high school learners from marginalised communities in South Africa.

Sports development officers aim to provide opportunities for participation in sport for all sections of the community. They distribute information and organise sport-related projects, classes, programmes, coaching, club development and training. They target those who want to take part for fun as well as those who are interested in competing at all levels, from local to national and international.
