Let's Hear it for the Girls

Girls Mentoring Competing Regionally

Our Girls Mentoring projects included establishing a Netball Team. The goal of this program is to broaden the perspectives of the girls and demonstrate to them that the world is a lot bigger than Richmond.

We want them to see first-hand that they can compete on an equal level. Team members have been educated so that they can serve as mentors in their own communities.

31 Girls on Netball Teams

The girls joined the Twizza League this year participating against 11 teams and were less experienced than the others. They competed very well considering that they are under-resourced and under-financed. This is a wonderful opportunity for girls who have been identified and are encouraged to participate as they are exposed to peers from other parts of South Africa and throughout the world.

4th Place in the Twizza League

In 2022, our Girls Netball Team participated in the Twizza league from March through June and travelled on Saturdays to De Aar to participate in the competition for the under 19 trials.

At last report, they were in Witbank for a week to play in the Junior Telkom Championship. We will keep you posted on their progress!

We are waiting for the results of the senior trials as well as the under 21 trials that will travel to Potchefstroom.

In 2022, the young ladies finished 4th place in the Twizza League, which is a huge milestone!

4 Girls Made the District Team

We were thrilled when four of our girls made the district team!
