taking place at the circuit school sport level. At this level, competition is stringent; many schools do not compete beyond this level and only schools who are serious about participation advance beyond this level. The operation at this level is perceived to be effective, with officials having specific duties and strict rules that are applied. Circuits where talented learners are found are identified and learners benefit from competing against other learners in terms of skills development and sportsmanship. However, the circuit level participation process is not perceived to be effective, since: several schools have scheduling challenges; there is no set date communicated timeously to schools, which results in a short notice period before events and learners then not being able to participate. Finally, budgetary constraints seem to prevent some schools and learners from participating in school sport at this level.
