Every child in South Africa should have access to a sports field, the equipment needed for the sport, and coaches to guide them, YET half our youth don't..   

"While the number of youth participating outside of school has increased, the majority of youth (51%) still play sport at school. The Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) found that 25% of South Africans play sport, with most people engaging outside formal sport structures. ‘Exposure to Sport at School’ was cited as the biggest reason among respondents (33%) for becoming involved in sport. Reasons for non participation included ‘No interest’ (24%) and ‘Lack of Facilities and Opportunities’ (SRSA, 2009). The data illustrates the great sporting divide in South Africa and the importance of providing inclusive access to sport for all, including within the school system."  (Laureus Policy Brief, 2019)
