LEAP 1 (Langa) and LEAP 2 (Gugulethu)

Sports that are offered at LEAP’s Cape Town schools include soccer, netball, basketball, tough rugby, cricket, African indigenous games, walking, running, softball and swimming.

LEAP is very proud of the sporting talent that we possess and two sports clearly dominate in terms of our performance, soccer and netball.

Our soccer boys are always keen and willing to play friendly matches against another team and are very excited about having been entered as a team into the Western Cape school league which starts in the second term of 2009.

Our netball girls love showing off their skills against international school touring sides during games arranged by Harlem Tour from Langa.

A large portion of our learners were involved in the swimming programme hosted by the Vineyards Swimming Club during the summer school holidays. The swimming programme was a great success as many of the learners could not swim at the start of the programme. Learning to swim not only involved mastering a new skill, but also boosted their self-confidence and may open up many more opportunities for them in the future.

There is also a group of girls that play volleyball and basketball for the loveLife Centre in Langa. We are currently building a relationship with the Ottery Softball Club and hope to partner with them to establish a training programme for our learners in 2009.

LEAP 3 (Alexandra)

Sport takes place each Thursday morning to tie in with the swimming sessions at Wahoo Swimming Academy. 

Grade 11: 08h00 - 10h30

Grade 12: 10h45 - 13h00

Each group is split into two, one group swimming and the other half playing netball, soccer and basketball at St Peters School. Half way through the two groups swap so that each learner swims and plays another sport each week.

The slots at Wahoo involve training by professional swimming coaches and are at no charge to LEAP.

Oral Minyi is in charge of the sport programme with following teachers coordinating the specific sports:
