Die grootste en mees indrukwekkende sportgebeurtenis vir laer- en ho\u00ebrskole in Suid-Afrika \u2013 en moontlik die w\u00eareld \u2013 is om die draai. In minder as ‘n week meld die stad Kimberley in die Noord-Kaap van besoekers vir die ABSA-Wildeklawer-skole-sporttoernooi (AWST).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die AWST is ‘n prestigeryke sportgebeurtenis wat die eerste keer in 2009 in die Paarl aangebied is. Destyds het slegs 12 rugbyspanne deelgeneem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oor die afgelope 14 jaar het hierdie toernooi tot een van die grootste internasionale skolesporttoernooie gegroei en behels rugby, netbal, hokkie en sokker.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanjaar sal ‘n rekordgetal van 232 spanne, wat 126 verskillende skole oor Suid-Afrika heen verteenwoordig, in Kimberley, die Diamantstad, byeenkom om deel te neem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die spanne bestaan uit altesaam 5\u2009357 spelers en beamptes, wat ‘n besondere atmosfeer van intense kompetisie maar ook kameraadskap tussen spanne en spelers skep.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die ABSA-Wildeklawer-uitnodigings- toernooi bied aan 44 plaaslike spanne uit die Noord-Kaap-streek die geleentheid om by verskeie plekke in die stad deel te neem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die spelers sal in sokker, rugby en netbal meeding.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cassie Carstens, die bestuurder van die AWST, s\u00ea die toernooi is nie net daarop gemik om gesonde mededinging te bevorder nie, maar dien ook as ‘n katalisator vir die uitbreiding van geleenthede in die skolesportw\u00eareld, danksy toegewyde vennootskappe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Die visie van die toernooi is om te verseker dat ons gelyke geleenthede bied \u2013 nie net vir topskole om op ‘n krag-teen-krag-basis deel te neem nie, maar ook vir ons plaaslike skole om aan ‘n toernooi van hierdie omvang deel te neem en teen mekaar te speel om samewerking, vriendskap en sportmangees te bevorder.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit is die missie van die AWST om die grootste skolesporttoernooi in die w\u00eareld aan te bied en die jeug te motiveer om op die hoogste vlak aan sport deel te neem, wat lei tot die handhawing van ‘n gesonde gees en liggaam tot voordeel van nasiebou.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Absa is weer die hoofborg van die toernooi, wat sy ondersteuning vir skolesport en veral hierdie toernooi beklemtoon. Ons is baie dankbaar vir die voortgesette ondersteuning, aangesien niks hiervan sonder hulle moontlik sou wees nie,” beklemtoon Carstens.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die rugby- en netbaltoernooi vir laerskole begin vandag (Donderdag 24 April) by die Laerskool Newton.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die toernooi het Woensdag 23\u2009April met ‘n openingseremonie by die Deo Gloria-saal begin en Saterdag 26\u2009April ge\u00ebindig met die laaste spanne wat ‘n laaste bietjie inspanning gegee het om hul onderskeie wedstryde te wen.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uitnodigingspanne in rugby, netbal en sokker kry nou die geleentheid om van 28 tot 30 April by verskeie plekke in die stad deel te neem.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die senior o.19-sokkertoernooi sal van 1 tot 3\u2009Mei by die Sol Plaatje-universiteit plaasvind.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vanjaar sal die AWST ook van die land se beste seuns- en meisiehokkie-spelers van 1 tot 3\u2009Mei in ‘n toernooi wat ook by die Sol Plaatje-universiteit gehou sal word, laat meeding.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
