They include Aristea Primary, Fanie Theron Primary, Curro Durbanville, Curro Brackenfell, Curro Meridian, Monument High School and Brackenfell High School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior Coach Karen Donachie says this small yet dynamic team of young ladies faced many challenges throughout the season yet marched with passion and heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese 18 young ladies proved that with self-discipline, dedication, commitment, passion and belief in themselves and their team, they can achieve anything. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur team story is similar to that of David and Goliath, no matter how small you are, you can conquer and achieve great things. As a coach, nothing makes you prouder than seeing your team give of their best and perform with heart and soul.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_0e769158\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/8901\/2957d1a3ba9d4fb2899a16d05af1042b.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/tygerburger\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/8f1223cfe58242a09cc6162a095f2330.jpg\" title=\"The junior team\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">The junior team<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior coach Nicky Metcalf says the junior majorettes have had a phenomenal season 2023. The team consists of 38 young athletes from Grade 1 to 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHalf of the athletes joined the team at the beginning of this year knowing nothing about the sport. As coaches we know it\u2019s a time consuming sport, that requires a lot of dedication and hard work, something our athletes needed to adapt to, but we were truly blessed to have a team that represents this with the help of parents ensuring their daughters get to practise. Our athletes sacrificed so much to ensure they were at practise to allow the coaches to finish and drill the displays. As a coach I can honestly say our girls did a sterling job throughout the season as well as at nationals and our results are evidence of this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This competition is known to be extremely intense where the best of the country compete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe standard is so much higher than last year, which is amazing. As a federation we are growing, but the level of skill is too. Our girls pushed through and marched every performance with so much heart, passion and love on the field. As coaches that\u2019s all we want to see, we want our girls to have fun and build beautiful memories, life-long friendships within their team as well as with other teams in other provinces,\u201d says Metcalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two athletes from the club will represent the federation in their national team at the International Association of Majorettes World Championships in Croatia in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are immensely proud and wish them and the team the best of luck.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Metcalf adds that the club is seeking athletes to join the junior and senior squads in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For more information contact chair Yvonne Viljoen at 082 499 7418 or see their website at
