Sporting Excellence!

By Harrison Dax Nash | Charity Director / Project Leader

The launch of our brand new sports court...!
The launch of our brand new sports court...!

It is an exciting time in terms of sports in South Africa where the first names of team members to compete at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires taking place next month were announced…!

Team South Africa will be represented in 19 different sports codes for these third Youth Olympic Games, incorporating Aquatics, Canoeing, Climbing, Dancing, Equestrian, Golf, Gymnastics, Rowing, Sailing, Shooting, Tennis, Weightlifting and Wrestling.

And when there are real life South Africa heroes and heroines like Wayde Van Niekerk and Caster Semenya flying the flags for sporting achievement and excellence we know our young people have a lot to aspire to.

This was where I was so thrilled in our last report to announce the establishment of our sports court but of course we continue to shoot for the moon…!

For this project we now have three clear goals:

  • Extending the gym that we have been able to establish at the youth centre with the introduction of cardio based equipment
  • Establishing a 4-wheel bicycle track on the grounds opposite the front entrance of the centre for easy access and safe and secure use by the children at the youth centre
  • Building a swimming pool to allow all the children to be taught how to swim whilst at the centre, nurturing the talents of our young people, providing both recreational and therapeutic benefit and opening the doors for further qualifications such as life saver training to take place

What we know clearly is that sport HAS the power to change the world. And off the back of the most recent World Iron Man Championships that actually took place here in Port Elizabeth it is fitting that I can borrow their slogan and end this report by saying: Anything Is Possible…!
