Physical Education and Sport

At our after school programme we want the children to primarily have fun in a safe space. This is balanced with the structure of organised activities like soccer, rope skipping, hockey, boxing and chess.

GCU Academy Football Club has around 220 players from U7 to U19. When needed we supplement kit, boots, food, and provide transportation. The uniforms are particularly important in giving the youngsters a sense of identity; pride; and belonging and are often a powerful alternative to the colours and insignias associated with the gangs.

Many government schools in South Africa no longer offer physical education as part of the curriculum. GCU fills that gap by providing Phys. Ed. coaches to the five main primary schools in Heideveld. A range of sports and exercises are done throughout the year with a strong emphasis on developing fine motor skills. There are other many other benefits too such as developing social competence; problem solving skills; and enhancing self-esteem.

An activity that is both aerobic and anaerobic, rope skipping has had a huge impact on our children both physically and mentally. GCU has a long history of excellence in this sport and has provided various teams that have competed at the provincial level.
