Tug of war is a sport where two teams measure their brut strength against each other by pulling on a rope. Each match consists of a number of opportunities to try and pull the other team across a line in the middle of the rope.

Learners are weighed to determine the weight class they compete in. Teams are classified not by age but by weight of the entire team of 8 learners.

Because of the toughness of tug of war good discipline is a core value in this sport. Learners each has to weigh a certain weight to be part of a specific team in that weight class, being "over weight" has an impact on the entire team. To work together as one is key, this sport is about collaboration. When the match start, the team must draw as a unite.

Learners should be well focused and listening skills is very important, to give slack or give it their all.
Endurance is the aim of the game because you can't just give up when a whole team is counting on you.
In this sport the team is just as strong as their weakest link.

We offer this sporting code to u11 , u13 boys. Mini Cricket keeps the other young hopefuls occupied. They play against opponents within the Overberg District. The gentleman's game is passionately played by our boys. The aim is to develop players holistically. By taking part in cricket, the learners not only get a chance at showcasing their cricketing skills , but they are also afforded the opportunity to improve their life skills.

There's a growing body of research that links physical activity to improvements in educational achievement. That's because sport helps children develop character and to learn important social and brain skills such as problem-solving, resilience, perseverance, confidence and teamwork.

We believes that the life lessons sports teach children go far beyond the physical benefits. They actually contribute to higher grades and academic success too. They'll also be useful to them later in life in the workplace.
