Drie plaaslike trompoppieklubs gaan hierdie naweek by die 2025- Suid-Afrikaanse trompoppie-en-rasie-leier-vereniging (Samca) se nasionale kampioenskap om die louere meeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trompoppies van die Grabouw Senior Majorettes, Saint Michael’s Prim\u00eare Skool van Grabouw en Dr. G.J. Joubert Prim\u00eare Skool in Strand reis na Oudtshoorn om van Vrydag 4 tot Saterdag 12 Julie teen die beste van die bestes kragte te meet. Die Helderberg-klubs neem deel aan die afdelings sonder pom-poms, die vlaggroep, stafgroep en bastongroep asook die klein en groot dril.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint Michael’s Prim\u00ear het vinnig van ‘n nederige begin tot ‘n mededingende krag ontwikkel. Die klub, wat in 2018 as die Elgin Girls-klub gestig is, het tot St. Michael’s Prim\u00ear Majorettes gegroei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hul toewyding het skouspelagtig vrugte gelewer toe hulle verlede September die vyfde plek in die afdeling vir junior meisies by die internasionale Majorette Sport W\u00eareldfederasie-kompetisie behaal het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ten spyte van finansi\u00eble beperkings handhaaf die span elite-status by Samca.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ouers kan nie altyd hul dogters finansieel ondersteun wanneer dit by oefenkampe en kompetisies kom nie,”<\/p>Robin Benjamin, ‘n onderwyser en die trompoppie-afrigter by Saint Michael’s Prim\u00ear.<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hoewel hulle hul vir Oudtshoorn voorberei, strek hul doelwit verder as net om die eerste plek te behaal. “Ek wil h\u00ea die meisies moet pret h\u00ea en die ervaring en nuwe omgewing geniet,” s\u00ea Benjamin.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. G.J. Joubert Prim\u00eare Skool se trompoppies sit hul oorheersing voort nadat hulle Saterdag (28 Junie) as die kampioene van kampioene by die Boland-trompoppie-en-rasie-leier-vereniging gekroon is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die skool pronk met die langste trompoppie-erfenis, met hul wortels wat terugstrek na 1989 toe trompoppies die eerste keer by die skool se 80ste verjaardagviering opgetree het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hulle het sedertdien van straatoptogte tot mededingende uitnemendheid gevorder en die span is sedert 2001 in Samca se Elite-liga.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die span oorkom egter finansi\u00eble swaarkry en toerusting-tekorte terwyl hulle hul elite-status handhaaf.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ons wil ons beste doen en die SA kampioene word,”<\/p>Leandra Worship, ‘n onderwyser en trompoppie-afrigter by Dr. G.J. Joubert Prim\u00ear.<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die Grabouw Senior Majorettes maak gereed vir die SAMCA nasionale kampioenskappe.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Grabouw Senior Majorettes, wat in 2017 gestig is om die gaping wat prim\u00eare-skool-gegradueerdes in die gesig staar, aan te durf, het waarskynlik die suksesvolste senior span in die Boland geword. Die groep, wat oorspronklik die Elgin Senior Majorettes genoem is, het opeenvolgende Boland-kampioenskappe sedert 2019 gehaal en elite-status verwerf nadat hulle die tweede plek in die Presidentsliga behaal het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hul sukses spreek deur talle atlete wat hul Boland- en SA kleure ontvang het.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Ons as ‘n klub het baie oefenkampe en dit is waar ons bande bou. Vir die meisies is dit regtig ‘n susterskap,”<\/p>verduidelik Benjamin, wat ook die Grabouw-span se afrigter is.<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die sport leer onskatbare lewensvaardighede insluitend stiptelikheid, span- werk, dissipline en respek.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al drie spanne het egter finansi\u00eble uitdagings. Beperkte gemeenskapsbewustheid oor trompoppie-sport beteken ondersteuning bly hoofsaaklik van ouers. Hoewel insameling soos die verkoop van bokkiestokkies by rugbywedstryde help, word meer bystand benodig.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hierdie spanne het dringend hul gemeenskappe se ondersteuning nodig om te verseker al die talentvolle atlete kan aan die nasionale kampioenskap deelneem. Buitens geldelike bydraes vir reis en verblyf sal skenkings van gesonde versnaperings, energiedrankies en vrugte die atlete aansienlik baat.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Namate die kompetisie naderkom, staan die Helderberg en Grabouw agter di\u00e9 drie spanne. Elkeen dra dekades se tradisie, vasberadenheid en drome na die nasionale verhoog in Oudtshoorn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
