After- School Sport Project (Sport for All)

Sport is a fundamental part of a child's education and a busy sports schedule in the afternoon after school promotes a healthy body, provides a supervised environment for children who may otherwise become involved in crime and other damaging activities. Sport For All Sport For All Franchising (Pty) Ltd is South Africa's first social franchise, which is devoted to community development in previously disadvantaged areas. Sport For All utilises sport as a tool for development by implementing their sustainable franchise model in beneficiary communities. A Sport For All Franchise not only provides the children of the community with access to sport and a trusted safe environment to go to after school, it creates employment, and a sustainable black owned business.


Objectives

• Sport and Coaching Skills: The programme provides training for coaches thereby empowering unemployed young adults as well as providing sport skills across the various sporting codes to the children.

• Life Skills: The programme provides a fantastic platform to impart life skills to children outside of the formalised classroom environment. Experience has shown that the children view the coaches as role models and parent figures, which provides the opportunity for the coaches to deliver life skills to the children. A number of Life Skills modules will be included in the programme
