As die jongste voorsitter in die geskiedenis van die Saldanha Tigers-rugbyklub het Heinrich Koopmann (38) groot planne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koopman se liefde vir rugby het op \u2019n jong ouderdom begin. Die vlam vir rugby het meer gegloei toe hy as jong man sy Saterdae langs die veld deurgebring het en na wedstryde van die Saldanha Tigers gekyk het. Op die ouderdom van 16 het hy spelers soos Volbe Vraagom, Shawn Pietersen en Tim Engelbrecht en hul kuns vir rugby aanskou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDis hoe ek van 2002 tot 2011 my rugbyloopbaan by die Saldanha Tigers voortgesit het. Ek het aan myself \u2019n belofte gemaak dat ek eendag weer wil terugploeg in die Diazville-gemeenskap, met die oog om eendag terug te gaan met \u2019n ander benadering om die Saldanha Tigers na groter hoogtes te neem,\u201d vertel Koopman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hierdie het \u2019n werklikheid geword en Koopman is in April vanjaar as die klub se nuwe voorsitter aangestel nadat die vorige voorsitter bedank het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is aan die begin van die jaar op ons jaar- vergadering as ondervoorsitter verkies. Ek moet eerlik wees \u2013 my oog was op die voorsitterspos en het my s\u00f3 verkiesbaar gestel, en dit was my ingesteldheid, maar ek moes ongelukkig tevrede wees met die ondervoorsitter-pos. Ek het die rol aanvaar en my berus dat alles die wil van God is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Koopman se visie vir Saldanha Tigers is om eerste na die welstand van die jeug en spelers om te sien en om Jesus deel te maak van hul fondasie. Met hul slagspreuk \u201cOns eer God in alles wat ons doen\u201d is gebed en geloof hul missie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil \u2019n kultuur skep waar spelers nie net kom vir rugby nie, maar dit ook as \u2019n toevlugsoord ervaar, waar hulle vryheid en harmonie kan beleef.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil graag ook hierdie jaar in die topvier eindig en dalk ook in uitspeelrondes meeding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns speel in die Boland-streek-uitdaag-afdeling en is een liga weg van die Boland-Weskus-Grootuitdaagbeker-kompetisie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns wil graag in 2026 of dalk al in 2025 teen klubs soos die Vredenburg- en Saldanhabaai-rugbyklub meeding. Dit gaan die eerste keer in die geskiedenis van Saldanhabaai wees dat twee klubs in een liga meeding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar is tans twee spanne wat in die Swart Weskus-streek-uitdaagkompetisie speel wat vervoerkostes na meer as R8 000 neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns is so dankbaar vir AFRIWU wat op twee geleenthede ons vervoerkoste 100% gedek het. Ons vra indien enige ander borge wil help, is hulle meer as welkom om ons te kontak. \u201cOns het 70% van ons spelers van 18-25, en soos ons weet, is ons werkloosheidsyfer die hoogste. Ons as die bestuur doen alles in ons vermo\u00eb om spelers se welstand te bevorder. \u201cOns sal enige soort skenking aanvaar.\u201d Om donasie te maak kontak Koopman by 076 040 6203.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met sy goeie gesindheid en visie glo Koopman die Saldanha Tigers gaan net van krag tot krag groei.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
