SA Schoolboy and club sport

[FalseBayFC]

Saved the Paarl Gim v Paul Roos until I had some time. I was impressed by the SA schools in their skill, not just relying on size when they hosted that tourney vs foreign schools pre Covid (whupping them in most cases).

Watched two big Kiwi schools recently and it was just boshing for 75 mins.

Questions … do these big SA schools require tuition fees? Either way, are they recruiting many kids from smaller schools or would they be mostly ‘home grown’ from the lower school(s)?

Most of the big rugby schools are fee paying state schools. These are run by a governing body of parents, educators and learners. They are able to supplement school funding by levying fees. Schools like Paul Roos, Grey College and others have considerable infrastructure. And yes the big rugby schools openly offer bursaries to talented kids from everywhere. There is a bit of skullduggery and poaching but most of these schools talent comes from their catchment.

Siya Kolisi for instance was a bursary boy at Grey High in Port Elizabeth. Cheslin Kolbe went to a state school that woudn't be considered a rugby powerhouse - Brackenfell. Makazole Mapimpi went to a state school where fees are not charged - ie free.

Cheers! And what would the fees be? Boarding obviously factors in, but ‘fee paying state’ is not something we have here. Either full independent or public. But I worked in a Catholic school in Oz that required just a fee of less than half the 10-20k that’s often the norm here.

Edit… I see about 40k Rand. That’s not too bad considering independent schools I worked for here in Canada charge 15-25k / year.

The traditional powerhouse rugby and cricket schools are very well supported with endowments and sponsorships from the old boys and the local community. I live next to Wynberg Boys which is a big cricket school. They have huge financial input from the Old Boys. There are lots of ex-Springboks making a good living coaching in the elite school system. Both rugby and cricket.

Anton Rupert is a Paul Roser and probably the biggest investor in sport in South Africa. Think he own Saracens aswell. Have shares in Bulls.

[OomStruisbaai]

Late Jan Bull Pichardt was a Gimmie. He invest a lot of money into Paarl Gim.

Nowadays both schools play host for Willie le Roux, Juan de Villiers and Pierre Schoeman tournaments. Obviously the Boks invest back in their roots. Wilde Klawers founder is an x Gim headmaster , late Reinhardt.

Millies 14 a beat Settlers a. 3 to 2. Great result for Millies. Building nicely. In under 14 there is still a lot of coaching required so once the team starts building on wins it gets better.

Chuffed for Wynberg with their win over Bishops. Follows on from their excellent win over Boland Landbou last week. I know the Wynberg coaches well and they deserve this richly.

[OomStruisbaai]

Ja the schoolboy results keep on surprising this year. Boland Landbou also give Gim a freight

The interschools will be massive this year.

Good quality farm produce to make a boy healthy, big and strong.

Good quality farm produce to make a boy healthy, big and strong.

Which is why the Zulu farm boys are the future of South African rugby. Big strong guys from the rural areas of KZN. The Sharks have a massive flood relief program going. My family in East Griqualand have sent truckloads of potatoes, carrots and cabbages. South Africa absolutely has the means to feed our whole population and export a shit ton of food. We're putting in an extra 100ha of yellow and white mielies at the end of the year. Everyone I know from the Swartland to the Free State to the Tugela in KZN are planning on expanded planting this year.
Edit: In anticipation of the shortages expected from the Ukraine/Russia crisis. Fert and Diesel prices are up.

Yep. Wynberg Boys snapped their winning streak and seemingly their fragile egos too.

Three interesting games on the schoolboy circuit are being shown on the SuperSport Schools Youtube channel. The game is doing very well in many of our schools. Currently there is a 7th XV game being televised between Paarl Boys and Bishops. 7 teams per age group is pretty impressive. IIRC the bigger all boys schools in KZN went down to 8ths and 9ths in my day. Please leave a like on the videos. Every little bit of support helps to grow the game at grassroots level.

Ons by Skolerugby SA keur wat by Hoërskool Danielskuil gebeur het, ten sterkste af. Kyk die video. Lees die berig. En vra jouself af wat sulke gedrag ooit kan regverdig. Indien jy die gedrag van die aanvallers goedpraat of dink dis reg, doen ons ‘n guns en verlaat ons groep asb. Berig deur Netwerk24.



n Onderwyser van die Hoërskool Daniëlskuil in die Noord-Kaap en ’n skeidsregter van die Griekwaland-Wes skeidsregtervereniging is Saterdag deur ’n hulpafrigter, verskeie ouers en twee 15-jarige leerlinge van die skool ernstig tydens ’n rugbywedstryd aangerand.
Kapt. Olebogeng Tawana, polisiewoordvoerder, het die voorval bevestig en sê die polisie ondersoek ’n saak van aanranding met die doel om ernstig te beseer.
Die Noord-Kaapse onderwysdepartement het Sondag die voorval veroordeel en gesê al die skool se tuiswedstryde is dadelik tot en met die uitkoms van ’n dissiplinêre verhoor opgeskort.
Sydney Stander, departementele woordvoerder, sê die wedstryd tussen die Hoërskool Daniëlskuil en die Hoërskool Kathu het as deel van die departement se skolesportkalender plaasgevind. Die wedstryd is by die Hoërskool Daniëlskuil gespeel.
“Ons is bewus van die voorval Saterdag tydens ’n wedstryd tussen die twee skole. Ons erken dat Christo Kemp, ’n onderwyser van die Hoërskool Daniëlskuil is.” Kemp is deur die skeidsregtervereniging aangestel om die wedstryd te hanteer. Stander sê ’n voorlopige verslag dui daarop ondersteuners van die Hoërskool Daniëlskuil ontevrede was oor hoe Kemp die wedstryd hanteer het.
“Ná afloop van die wedstryd het ’n ouer hom glo gejaag en hom aan die hoofkant van die veld ingehaal, waarna die hulpafrigter Kemp eerste geslaan het.” ’n Video van die voorval wys ook hoe die hulpafrigter die eerste hou na Kemp slaan. Stander sê twee ouers het toe ook betrokke geraak en Kemp aangerand. Fires van Vuuren, ’n skeidsregter van die Griekwaland-Wes skeidsregtersvereniging, wat ’n ander wedstryd sou hanteer, het Kemp te hulp gesnel. Ook hy het onder die houe deurgeloop. In ’n stadium het hy bo-op Kemp geland om hom teen die aanslae te probeer beskerm. Stander sê twee o.15-rugbyspelers van die betrokke span het ook by die geveg betrokke geraak. Die leerlinge kan op die video gesien word waar hulle Kemp en Van Vuuren skop. Op die video kan ook gesien word hoe leerlinge van die Hoërskool Kathu Kemp en Van Vuuren te hulp snel en hulle dan van die veld vergesel sodat hulle nie verder aangerand word nie.
Een van die ouers wat Kemp aangerand het is glo ’n vername sakeman van Daniëlskuil.
Stander sê omdat die skolerugby onder die Griekwaland-Wes se Hoërskole-rugbyvereniging geaffilieer is, wag die vereniging vir die nodige verslae, waarna al die skuldiges dissiplinêr deur die Griekwaland-Wes-Rugby-unie verhoor sal word. “Alle tuiswedstryde vir die skool word voorlopig opgeskort tot die proses afgehandel is.”
Stander sê skole is verantwoordelik om die veiligheid van die skeidsregters te verseker. Die veld moet afgeskort word sodat geen toeskouer nader as 5 m van die veld mag wees nie. “Die skool het hier sy plig versuim.”
Kemp word tans in ’n nabygeleë hospitaal vir sy beserings en trauma behandel. “Die standpunt van die Noord-Kaapse onderwysdepartement is dat dié gedrag deur ouers en skoliere absoluut onaanvaarbaar was. Daar is nie plek hiervoor in skolerugby nie. Ons is van mening dat Mnr. Kemp ’n saak by die polisie moet indien sodat die beskuldigdes ten volle verantwoordelik gehou word.” Die departement het ’n beroep op die skool en owerhede gedoen om die leerlinge op die video te identifiseer sodat tugmaatreëls so gou moontlik toegepas kan word. Die departement het Kemp ’n spoedige herstel toegewens.
Van Vuuren het nie ’n strafregtelike klag ingedien nie, maar sê hy is besig met om met sy regspan te konsulteer om ’n siviele eis teen die aanvallers te bring.
Niemand is nog weens die voorval in hegtenis geneem nie. Die polisie se ondersoek duur voort.

My boy is devastated. Beginning of the year he that fence fell on his foot and he missed the most of the cricket season. Today he was going to keep for the A and B team hockey and yesterday whilst playing soccer at lunch at school one of the kids blasted the ball ( netball ball ) at him and sprained his wrist. He tried to practice before the first match wearing a wrist guard and one of the kids hit a hard shot at him in the air and damaged his wrist further. Maybe 3 weeks out again....
He is in tears. So disappointed
