CHALLENGES
•
•
•
•
•
1. Lack of funding for continuous sustainable projects. Most projects run for
a few month's per year, and every year have to almost start from the
beginning. The timing of funds received is a huge challenge.
2. Lack of decent sport facilities in our disadvantaged areas, makes it very
difficult to introduce hockey, that requires a level surface.
3. No structured Phys Ed program in our schools, especially disadvantaged
schools, to ensure that motor skills and hand eye coordination is developed
at a young age.
4. Travelling, as artificial hockey turfs are expensive, and are not located in
all areas. Travelling costs are high and an automatic deterent for those who
do not have access to reliable and cost effective transport.
5. Lack of support system for programs in many of our disadvantaged
schools. This is as not many teachers are prepared to help with extra murial
WEAKNESSES

•
•
•
•
1. Lack of quality female Black coaches, and Umpires
2. Fewer talented Black female players at the Youth Level, as compared to
the Boys.
3. Lack of good Club's and Professional playing structure, to ensure more
Youth players are retained into the Senior structures.
4. Player retention from Schools to Clubs
5. Lack of sponsorship across the board – Clubs, Provinces and National
6. Monitoring and Evaluation - National Office needs to be capacitated to
ensure an effective and efficient monitoring and evaluation process of the
Transformation agenda.
SUCCESSES
1.Well structured development projects in various Provinces, like Gauteng,
Border, EP, WP, & KZN.
2. Good Coaching Education program, thereby more quality Persons Of Colour
coming through at the Youth level.
3. Increase in the number of quality Black African male coaches coming
through, like Moabe Malebye, Nduduzo Khanyile, Sihle Ntuli etc. Mo coached
the Southern Gauteng Men's Senior Team in 2010.
4. Representation of at least 25% in all Provincial Teams
5. Good representation in our Senior Ladies National team. Eg SA beat
Argentina 4-0 with six players of colour on the field.
