MBDA takes steps to revive Moore Dyke Sports Precinct project THE Mandela Bay Development Agency (MBDA) has reaffirmed its commitment to reviving the stalled Moore Dyke Sports Precinct project, with staff mobilised to undertake clearing work at the site as part of efforts to get the development back on track.

include verifying the remaining scope and cost of the project, as well as assessing the extent of damage and vandalism at the site. During a stakeholder engagement meeting in October, community builders and other stakeholders came together to discuss the future of Moore Dyke and its role in the sporting and social life of surrounding communities. The meeting provided an opportunity to acknowledge community concerns and frustrations over the prolonged delays, while identifying the actions required to address the outstanding challenges. As part of the process, a Quantity Surveyor has been retained to engage with affected small, medium and micro enterprises

In a statement issued, the MBDA said the clearing activities include work on the sports pitch, carried out entirely by staff from the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium. The initiative marks a proactive step towards addressing the challenges that have delayed the project. Efforts are also underway to establish a clear and practical plan for completing the outstanding work. Immediate priorities

(SMMEs) and to help secure the resources needed to appoint a contractor to complete the project. Rehabilitating the sports pitches for community use was also discussed during the meeting. However, any such plans would be subject to technical assessments, funding availability and the necessary health, safety and security requirements. Stakeholders also highlighted the importance of meaningful community involvement, improved site security and a sustainable management arrangement for the facility once construction is complete. Recognising the importance of Moore Dyke to local schools, sports clubs and the wider com-

munity, the MBDA reiterated its commitment to working with relevant stakeholders to restore confidence in the project and ensure the facility can fulfil its intended purpose. Further updates will be provided as outstanding assessments, stakeholder engagements and funding processes progress. The MBDA said that a firm implementation timeline would be communicated once the remaining scope of work, associated costs and funding arrangements had been confirmed. The MBDA thanked the community and stakeholders for their continued engagement and commitment to the future of Moore Dyke Sports Centre.

Fireﬁghters compare descaler with water in ﬁre test

An intensified fire test evaluates a descaler’s ability to improve firefighting effectiveness. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

THE Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, through its Fire and Emergency Services Directorate, conducted a practical demonstration to compare the effectiveness of a wetting agent (descaler) against ordinary water in firefighting operations. The demonstration was attended by the Director for Safety and Security, Shadrack Sibiya; Head of Disaster Management, Dr Sindisiwe Nyide; Metro Police, Colonel Raquel Paulsen; Acting Director for Security Services, Mncedisi Madikinca; Pat Gounder from the Traffic Department; Madikinca from Security Services; and the Senior Director for Fire and Emergency, Fire Chief John Conway.

The Fire and Emergency Services Department conducted an extreme, intensified fire test using the M3 fire retardant, descaler and environmentally friendly product at the Markman Training Centre. The test formed part of the Department’s El Niño contingency planning initiatives. The Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality spokesperson, Sithembiso Soyaya, said, “Given the prevailing high temperatures and increased evaporation rates, it is essential to identify methods that enable fires to be extinguished more rapidly, particularly in the context of water scarcity. The product demonstrated significant potential in enhancing firefighting

effectiveness by improving water penetration and reducing extinguishing times. “In addition, its dust-suppression and temperature-reduction properties contribute to creating safer and more manageable conditions on the fire ground. The fire-retardant and wetting-agent characteristics of the product also assist in reducing the likelihood of fire re-ignition, thereby improving overall fire suppression outcomes. “The demonstration forms part of efforts to explore innovative firefighting solutions that could improve operational efficiency, reduce water usage and strengthen the Municipality’s firefighting capabilities,” said Soyaya.

American educator’s gift sparks EC robotics league ESMI WINDWAAI

THE Eastern Cape is preparing to host its first provincial First Tech Challenge (FTC) robotics competition after an initiative led by American educator, Doctor Krystal Morris,founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Urban Community Coalition, who brought new equipment and opportunities to schools across the province. Paterson High School in Gqeberha is among five schools and an educational centre receiving support through Morris’s work with the Urban Community Coalition, which aims to expand access to science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) education. During a visit to the school on Thursday, October 29, Morris donated an FTC robot to support the development of its robotics programme. The donation forms part of a broader initiative to establish a sustainable FTC robotics league in the Eastern Cape, allowing learners to design, build, programme and test robots while developing practical engineering and problem-solving skills. Morris said, “The initiative was driven by the belief that a learner’s geographical location should not determine their access to educational opportunities. Young people in the Eastern Cape deserve the same opportunities to explore technology, develop engineering skills and participate in competitive robotics as learners in other parts of the world.” She explained, “Paterson High is one of the participating schools, and the equipment would help learners move beyond learning about robotics to gaining practical experience. We didn’t want to simply introduce learners to the idea of robotics; we wanted to put the tools in their hands to make it possible.” According to Paterson High deputy principal Kenneth Prins, the province’s participation and achievements in robotics programmes and competitions attracted Morris’s attention. Prins was appointed as the Springbots SA coordinator in the Eastern Cape in 2025, when the organisation’s robotics programme expanded to five provinces. Prins said, “The Eastern Cape participat-

The province also has a history of learners representing South Africa internationally. In 2024, Paterson High learner, Chaydon Weldschidt represented the country at the First Global Challenge in Greece.” Prins further said, “In 2025, two Eastern Cape learners, Clyde Snyders of Paterson High and Amy Brown of Uitenhage High School, were selected for the five-member South African team that participated in the First Global Challenge in Panama. Brown served as the team’s captain.” Prins said, “Morris had committed to

arranging equipment for five teams and schools in the Eastern Cape to help establish sufficient participation for an FTC competition locally. Until now, the province had only one FTC team, meaning learners often had to travel to the Western Cape or Gauteng to participate in competitions. The participating institutions receiving support are Paterson High School, Linkside High School, Gelvandale High School, Uitenhage High School, Gamble Street Secondary School and the Bloekom Educational Empowerment Unit at Dale Street Congregational Church. Morris said, “The intention was to build a long-term robotics ecosystem rather than

simply donate equipment. Urban Community Coalition is working towards providing ongoing support through coach development, technical mentorship, training sessions, equipment assistance and connections with experienced robotics teams.” She explained, “The organisation is also exploring international mentorship opportunities to connect Eastern Cape learners with established FTC teams abroad.” Morris emphasised the importance of international partnerships in helping schools overcome resource gaps and connecting learners with a global network of educators, mentors and robotics teams. She said the ultimate goal was to build local capacity and expertise, enabling learners to eventually become mentors and guide the next generation. Paterson High Grade 10 learner, Cayzen Haupt, said, “The opportunity would encourage learners to think beyond existing limitations. This opportunity allows us to dream even bigger when designing devices to solve real-world problems.” Fellow Grade 10 learner Clyde Snyders said, “Robotics competitions also created opportunities for international collaboration. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) competitions such as these bring learners from across the globe together.” Amy Brown, a Grade 10 learner at Uitenhage High School and former captain of the 2025 Springbots SA team, said, “Robotics and coding encourage personal development. Robotics and coding drive you to become the best version of yourself.” Morris said, “FTC offered learners opportunities beyond engineering and programming, including design, strategy, documentation, marketing, outreach and team leadership.” She encouraged young people not to allow their circumstances or lack of experience to limit their ambitions. “You are not just consumers of technology. You can become the creators, designers, engineers and innovators who shape the future,” she said. For the Eastern Cape, the initiative represents an opportunity to bring competitive robotics closer to learners while building a foundation for future participation in technology and engineering.

KWAMAGXAKI:

R4 Million invested in restoring community hall,library THE Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM) recently reopened the KwaMagxaki Community Hall and Public Library following a R4 million refurbishment that restored essential community facilities left largely unusable for about five years after extensive vandalism during the 2020/2021 COVID-19 lockdown. Executive Mayor at the time, Councillor Babalwa Lobishe, said the handover reflected the municipality’s commitment to its 2025/2026 budget, although some work remained outstanding. She said the outstanding work was the boundary wall, which was already in the pipeline, and the municipality was also looking at completing the boundary between the church and the hall.

According to an NMBM media release, the project was prioritised by the Municipality’s Facilities Management and Sport, Recreation, Arts and Culture (SRAC) directorates during the 2025/2026 financial year. The refurbishment included general building repairs, electrical rewiring, repairs to ablution facilities and fencing. Lobishe appealed to residents to help safeguard the newly renovated hall and library to ensure they continued serving the community. She said the facility was important to young people and the wider community who relied on the library and its services, and expressed hope that it would be maintained in the condition in which it was handed over. Lobishe described the reopen-

ing as an important milestone in restoring community life, noting that the R4 million investment was now a collective responsibility to protect. She said public funds could not continue to be spent repairing infrastructure that had been repeatedly vandalised, and called on the community to work with the Municipality, report suspicious activities and acts of vandalism, and take ownership of the facilities. Ward 30 Councillor, Xolani Notshe, expressed his gratitude to the community during the restoration process. He said true restoration must not only be of physical buildings; if buildings were restored while the neighbourhood remained broken, restoration was incomplete. He proposed that the community commit to restoring the neighbourhood together, bringing it back to a time when a child belonged to every household, elders could walk in peace, children could play without fear, and streets, yards and open spaces reflected pride. Nolwandle Dlomo, from Sinakho, said the community was very glad about the new community hall, adding that it would help with celebrations, farewells, funerals, weddings, a library for children, and activities for elderly people such as dancing. Ntomboxolo Mzini said she was excited about the opening and development of the KwaMagxaki library, as it would give children the opportunity to interact more with their peers, help each other with school, create beautiful childhood memories, and prepare for their exams and school projects. The media release said the facilities had suffered extensive damage, including the removal of electrical wiring and lighting, vandalism of ablution facilities,

PHOTOS: ESMI WINDWAAI the burning of ceiling and floor coverings, and the theft and damage of library books. The scale of the destruction presented a significant financial challenge and required the Municipality to prioritise the restoration of these public assets. The Municipality also acknowledged members of the KwaMagxaki community who had assisted with cleaning the hall and library following the vandalism. Their contribution demonstrated the value of community participation and the role residents could play in restoring and maintaining public infrastructure. While the major refurbishment is complete, further security improvements are planned. A dividing fence is scheduled for installation within the next two weeks,

with a contractor already appointed. The Municipality also plans to install electric fencing around the facility’s perimeter during the 2027/2028 financial year to strengthen security and reduce the risk of future vandalism and break-ins. The NMBM emphasised that protecting public infrastructure could not be the responsibility of government alone. Residents, community organisations and facility users were urged to help safeguard the hall and library, report vandalism and suspicious activities, and use the facilities responsibly. The reopening marks a renewed opportunity for community development, learning, engagement and social activities.

Hospitality intern’s life changes after winning ﬁve-star wheels NONCEDO Gqutyana did not sleep a wink the night before heading to a Gqeberha dealership to see if she would be the lucky winner of a brand-new vehicle. The 31-year-old had never owned a car, despite being a licensed driver for many years. The International Hotel School intern urgently needed her own wheels as she prepared to start a career in the hospitality industry. If she did not win the Hyundai Exter, it simply was not meant to be, she told herself to calm her nerves. In what may have been a divine sign, she was the first of four hopeful SPAR Women’s Challenge participants to arrive on the showroom floor, where the draw would take place. The opportunity almost certainly would have passed Guyana by, as she did not hear her race number called at the lucky draw held straight after the 33rd running of the event on September 26. Luckily, her friends did. When the original winner was found to be ineligible for the main prize, a second draw featuring the rest of the candidates was scheduled for last weekend. So, almost a month later, she found herself holding a remote again. If hers could unlock the car, she would instantly own it.

The first contestant’s device failed to do the job, and Guyana did not need a second invitation

to press the button on hers. The vehicle’s lights lit up instantly to let her know she was the cho-

sen one. “I have been praying to God to give me a car,” the firsttime vehicle owner said between

the tears. “Finally, He has answered.” Gqutyana left her family, including her son, behind in Mthatha in 2017 when she moved to the Friendly City to chase her dream of working in the hospitality sector. She video-called them while celebrating her windfall with her boyfriend and members of the retailer’s staff, including SPAR Eastern Cape managing director, Solly Engelbrecht. “They are all crying,” she told onlookers. It was only her second attempt at the Women’s Challenge, following her debut run in 2025. As much as she enjoyed her first, the 2026 edition is guaranteed to stand out for all the right reasons. “It’s actually changed my life. It still feels like a dream,” she said. Engelbrecht said the family retailer was delighted to hand over such a grand prize to a woman from the community. “Supporting this event is about being part of something that goes beyond business for us,” he said. It gave the provincial head office an opportunity to raise awareness of gender-based violence and other challenges faced by women, he said. “It also allows us to celebrate their strength and encourage healthier lifestyles.”

YMCA brings substance abuse prevention to Gelvandale Primary YMCA Nelson Mandela Bay facilitated a substance abuse prevention awareness session at Gelvandale Primary School, focusing on peer pressure, decision-making and the power of saying ‘No’. The session focused on educating learners about peer pressure, substance abuse and the importance of making responsible decisions from an early age. YMCA Nelson Mandela Bay recognises that early intervention and education play an important role in helping young people navigate challenges within their communities. During the interactive session, learners explored the meaning of peer pressure and the difference between positive and negative influences, as well as how these can affect their decisions. Discussions also highlighted the physical, emotional and social consequences of substance abuse, including how drugs and alcohol can affect brain development, memory, health and future opportunities. In a statement, the YMCA Nelson Mandela Bay said that learners were informed about the consequences of alcohol and drug use, the importance of choosing friends wisely, and how setting personal boundaries helps protect their health, safety and future. “A key message throughout the engagement was the importance of having the confidence to say ‘No’. Learners were encouraged to build self-esteem, choose positive friendships and seek guidance from trusted adults, such as teachers, family members and responsible community members, when faced with difficult situations,” the stament said. One of the highlights of the session

at Gelvandale Primary School was the learners’ enthusiasm and willingness to participate. “Their responses demonstrated an awareness that peer pressure and substance abuse are not simply topics discussed in classrooms, but challenges that can be encountered in their everyday environments. “This reinforced the importance of creating safe spaces where children can openly discuss these issues and receive guidance,” the statement concluded. The session was facilitated by the dedicated YMCA Nelson Mandela Bay youth team. This outreach forms part of YMCA Nelson Mandela Bay’s broader substance abuse prevention and youth development efforts, aimed at promoting early awareness, strengthening resilience and encouraging healthier lifestyles among young people.

Despatch doppie-projek kry ’n Oos-Kaapse hupstoot ANIKA DE BEER DIE Oos-Kaapse Voortrekkers het vanjaar meer as net hul beste voet voor gesit om hul jaartema ’n realiteit te maak. Die Voortrekkers vier vanjaar hulle 95ste bestaansjaar onder die jaartema “Ligdraers van die wêreld”. Adri Steyn, bemarkingskoördineerder vir Oos-Kaap Voortrekkers, het vertel van die verskeie uitreike wat hulle deur die loop van die jaar aangepak het, insluitend ’n pretdraf ten bate van SADAG, nóg ’n pretdraf ten bate van die Hoërskool Kaap Recife en besoeke aan ouetehuise waar hulle gesing het en koekies en drukkies uitgedeel het. “Dit word Ligpunt-projekte genoem,” het Steyn gesê. Hulle het ook besluit om by ’n bestaande projek van Trudie Swanepoel van die Voortrekker Despatch Kommando aan te haak en dit van ’n plaaslike inisiatief tot ’n wyere Oos-Kaapse projek uit te brei.

’n Verskil gemaak - een doppie op ’n slag UD Express het in 2023 berig toe die Voortrekkers van die Despatch Kommando sowat 500 kg plastiekdoppies aan Margaux Prince, die stigter van die liefdadigheidsorganisasie, Making a difference, one person at a time, oorhandig het. Dit was beslis nie ’n eenmalige skenking nie. Swanepoel samel nou nog doppies in en handig twee maal ’n jaar ’n groot vrag aan Prince oor. Prince het Making a difference, one person at a time in 2021 gestig. “Ek het begin om nie-bederfbare kos en klere in te samel. En toe begin ek minder donasies kry en besef ons gaan deur ’n tyd waar mense regtig swaarkry. Almal moet hulle laaste bietjie bymekaar skraap om vir hulle ’n brood te koop, maar daar moet iets wees wat ons kan doen om mense te help” het sy vertel. “Ek het bietjie navorsing gedoen en gesien

dat ’n eenvoudige doppie wat ek en jy sommer net weggooi, iemand se lewe kan vergemaklik.” The Sweetheart Foundation vorder die doppies in en herwin dit. Vir elke 400 kg doppies word ’n rolstoel gratis vir iemand in nood geskenk. Prince het al ’n paar keer doppies vir Cheshire Homes in Gqeberha geskenk sodat een van die inwoners ’n rolstoel kan ontvang. “My pad met Trudie het toe begin en sy het ’n groot passie vir die doppies en om ons te ondersteun.” Prince sê die doppies is al so deel van haar lewe dat sy verstom staan wanneer daar nie doppies in haar oprit is nie. “Eenvoudige doppies kan kinders se wêrelde oopmaak, en mense wat nie kan loop nie ’n nuwe wêreld wys.” Voortrekkers sit skouer aan die wiel Steyn sê die doppie-projek was ideaal om die kinders te leer dat die kleinste gebaar

soms ‘n groot verskil in iemand se lewe kan maak. “Dis regtig ‘n jaar van diensbaarheid in die Voortrekkers waar ons iets vir die gemeenskap wil doen en ook vir die kinders leer dat ‘n mens nie altyd iets doen om iets terug te kry nie. Ons moet daardie onbaatsugtigheid vir kinders leer. Een doppie op ‘n slag. En ons help sommer met besoedeling ook.” Die Voortrekkers se eerste lot doppies in Julie was sowat 220 kg en hulle het op Vrydag, 30 Oktober, weer meer as 150 kg bygevoeg. Hoewel Despatch se Voortrekkers die grootste bydra gemaak het, kom vanjaar se doppies ook van Voortrekkers in Kragga Kamma, Kariega, Jeffreysbaai, die Langkloof en die Ruiterwag Kommando in Gqeberha. “Dankie vir elke persoon wat bottels of sakkies vol doppies en broodknippies vir ons projek geskenk het!” het Swanepoel gesê.

Die Voortrekkers op Despatch samel doppies al vir ‘n paar jaar in vir die rolstoel-projek. Vanjaar het die ander Voortrekkers in die Oos-Kaap ook tot die projek bygedra. FOTO’S: ANIKA DE BEER

Jaco‘in ekstase’oor Cillié-pos HANNES SCHOEMAN DIE Hoërskool Cillié in die Baai het geskiedenis gemaak toe hy sy eerste direkteur van rugby in sy 89ste bestaansjaar aangestel het. Hy is Jaco Swanepoel (39), ’n oud-leerder van die skool. Sy aanstelling wys duidelik dat die skool alles in die stryd gaan werp om Cillié weer ’n krag in skolerugby te maak. Swanepoel sê hy is "in ekstrase" en baie dankbaar oor sy aanstelling. "Dis is altyd lekker om my talente te gebruik om ander se lewens positief te beïnvloed, maar dit is besonders om dit vir my Alma Mater te kan doen," sê hy. Swanepoel besef daar is groot druk op hom om die gehalte van die skool so te verbeter dat die jaarlikse derby teen Otto du Plessis ook weer voortgesit kan word. Veral onder oud-leerders was daar vanjaar groot ontevredenheid toe Cillié die derby weens veiligheidsredes gekanselleer het. "Ja, die Otto-derby is die mikpunt en ek wil dit bitter graag laat gebeur. Dit sal vir die oud-skoliere uiteraard ’n hoogtepunt wees, maar ons moet realisties wees, want dit gaan nie oornag gebeur nie," sê

Swanepoel. ’n Onderwyser, Juan Botha, sê die idee was nog nooit om die derby permanent te verbreek nie. Swanepoel sê voorts: "Harde werk lê voor. Omstandighede het verander soos finansies by skole is ’n groot uitdaging, en Afrikaanse voedingskole wat na Engels verander. Tye is nie meer so eenvoudig nie, selfs in sport is daar baie uitdagings wat ’n rol speel in die prestasies van leerders," sê hy. Swanepoel het onmiddellik aan die werk gespring en het reeds met voorseisoense oefeninge begin. Hy sê sy onmiddellike doelwit is om sy rugbyprogram in plek te sit en te monitor, maar ook om spelers van junior tot senior te ontwikkel. Swanepoel sê voorts Cillié en sy leerders se omstandighede het baie verander, en daarom vra hy geduld om die rugby weer sterk te maak. Hy het in 2005 vir die OP se Cravenweekspan in Bloemfontein gespeel. Hy sê vir nou vra hy net eers geduld terwyl hy skouer aan die wiel sit. En terwyl hy nog sy aanstelling by die skool gevier het, het hy sommer ’n dubbele dosis vreuge ontvang toe hy as die Park-rugbyklub se eerstespan-afrigter aangewys is.

Die skoolhoof, Willreau Farao, wens Jaco Swanepoel geluk met sy aanstelling.

MJ’S JUDO DOJO:

Celebrating 35 podium ﬁnishes at Western Cape Open GQEBERHA’s MJ’s Judo Dojo celebrated an impressive achievement at the 2026 Western Cape Open, with all 35 of its competitors securing a podium finish at the event hosted by Eden Judo at the Civic Centre in the Garden Route. Among the youngest judoka representing MJ’s were three competitors from Jeffreys Bay: Bodhi Hayton, Beyers Bezuidenhout and Rossouw Pienaar. They joined their more experienced teammates on the competition mat as part of a team that delivered an outstanding set of results. The event attracted 150 judoka from across the Eastern and Western Coastal districts, representing MJ’s Judo, Eden Judo, Cape Town Judo and Cape Winelands Judo. Participants ranged in age from six years to adults, providing competitors at different stages of their judo journeys with an opportunity to test their skills against one another. MJ’s entered 35 competitors, the majority of whom competed in the advanced category. Every member of the team secured either a gold, silver or bronze medal, highlighting the depth of talent and preparation within the dojo. Several individual performances also caught the coaches’ attention, with Tiffany Botes of Framesby High School, Gabriel Robinson of Clarendon Park Primary School and Colby Jansen van Rensburg of Framesby High School singled out for their efforts throughout the competition. Beyond the individual contests, team fights added another dimension to the day’s competition, challenging judoka to work together and represent their respective teams. In the male junior division, MJ’s faced a combined team representing Cape Town, Cape Winelands and Eden Judo. The contest ended in a draw, with the Western Cape team taking the overall result on points. MJ’s went on to secure a victo-

For coaches Reece Kramer, Matthew Spear and Teresa Vermaak, however, the results only tell part of the story. Some of the most rewarding moments came from watching their judoka demonstrate courage, composure and maturity when faced with challenging op-

EP bowlers are ready to roll THE Tenpin Bowling Association of South Africa (TBASA) Interprovincial Championships will be hosted by the Eastern Province Tenpin Bowling Association (EPTBA) at Baywest Mall’s Nitro Bowl from Saturday, 14 November, until Saturday, 21 November. Central Gauteng, Eastern Gauteng, Gauteng North, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Midlands and EPTBA will participate in the eight-day premier event on the TBASA calendar. The country’s leading bowlers will be in action on the lanes, and several perfect scores of 300 pins are likely.

ponents, including competitors they had never encountered before. “The team showed great composure, readiness to fight and maturity far beyond their years. With every competition, we see them developing further, not only as judoka but as individuals,” said the MJ’s coaching team. “Stepping onto a mat alone and facing someone you don’t know can be incredibly intimidating. Competitions teach children and

adults alike to find the courage to do it anyway. A win can build confidence, while a loss teaches you how to accept disappointment, learn and come back stronger. Either way, there is tremendous mental growth.” Sportsmanship was another standout feature of the team’s performance. Emily Mitchell of Lorraine was particularly recognised for the consistent encouragement and support she showed her teammates, regardless of the

outcome of their fights. That sense of camaraderie was evident throughout the day, with judoka of all ages looking out for one another. Teammates fetched water and Energade, stood in one another’s corners and cheered from the sidelines, ensuring that every competitor had support when stepping onto the mat. Parents also played an important role in creating this environment, with the coaches expressing their appreciation for the way families supported not only their own children but also the entire team. “The support from our parents means an incredible amount to us. It is wonderful to see parents supporting not only their own children but also everyone in the team. The children feel comfortable around one another’s parents, and that creates a real sense of belonging. We are very grateful for that,” the coaches added. Another particularly encouraging development was seeing competitors who had previously struggled with losing, beginning to understand that a gold medal is not guaranteed at every competition. Learning to appreciate personal progress, acknowledge an opponent’s achievement and remain positive after a difficult fight is an important part of becoming a well-rounded judoka. For the coaching team, judo has a purpose that extends well beyond physical training and competitive results. They recognise that children and teenagers face challenges of their own, sometimes more than they openly express, and believe the discipline provides a valuable opportunity to channel their energy in a controlled environment while developing confidence, self-belief and emotional resilience. “We understand that children and teenagers go through a lot, sometimes more than they let on. Seeing them come onto the mat, channel their energy in a controlled environment and push themselves through a challenge is incredibly rewarding.”
