We are excited to see such an array of sports that these students are specialising in; including Athletes, Rugby and Football, as they prepare themselves for a career in the world of sports. We have 9 students currently enrolled with a few more still to join. We will accept admissions up to the end of February, so don’t delay if you wish to sign up. Many of the students are combining the academic qualification with one of our sports training programs. This Higher Certificate in Sports Administration is open to all school leavers who have obtained a sufficient NSC, have a passion for sport and want to follow their dream. | | Some of our Sports Management students; Muhluri Khoza, Christopher Swart, Boineelo Mashwe, Ethan Francis, Dylan Jordaan & Boago Golebanye | We had an excellent turnout for our Junior Football Club Open Day last Saturday despite the rainy weather. The kids had great fun and the parents learned how we build technical football skills and physical literacy at the crucial developmental ages. All in a fun, community-based environment. Training for age groups U8s to U13s started on 14th February twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please contact footballadmin@bsisports.com for details and an enrolment form. | Catch up on our previous newsletters and re-familiarise yourself with our performance tips. | The new Srixon Soft Feel has a soft yet high-speed core and ultra-low compression. Great feel is a given, but what this combination also does is cause a higher moment of inertia for consistent carry and accuracy. So if feel matters most to you but you don’t want that to compromise your distance and accuracy, then you should try the new Srixon Soft Feel Golf Ball. | | | | This mail was sent to {{contact.contact_email}} by Michael Balderstone and is provided as a service for the members and guests of Balderstone Sports Institute and has been supported and sponsored by advertisers in this email and our partner suppliers.
