Sports Programmes
The Foundation’s football/soccer programmes lie at the heart of our multi-sport operations. Football training takes place on the Gansbaai Sports Field from Monday to Thursday between 4.00pm and 6.00pm. Experienced coaches Bulelani Mtobela and Mziyanda Matiwane work in unison with international volunteers to run enjoyable but challenging sessions for our under 11, 13, 15 and under 19 teams. Soccer sessions are also active in Stanford and Hermanus as part of our school programmes.
