SPORT AS A TOOL

SRSA


TRANSVERSAL ISSUES

Transformation

Priority codes

Ethical behaviour

Geo-political boundaries

Professional vs amateur sport

SRSA

The NSRP provides for the different stages of a long term participant development plan.

Sport System Alignment and Integration The need arises in part from the declining international

performances of South African athletes in some sports and the difficulty other sports are having in identifying and developing the next generation of internationally successful athletes.

In addition, participation in recreational sport and physical

activity has been declining and physical education programs in the schools are being marginalized.

SRSA

SAS4L - LTPD is a vehicle for change. It differs from other athlete development models because it acknowledges that physical education, school sports, competitive sports, and recreational activities are mutually interdependent.

LTPD also positively affects the quality of training and

competition by taking into consideration factors such as developmental age and the sensitive periods of accelerated adaptation to training - optimal trainability.

It builds athletic ability beginning with a foundation of

fundamental movement skills and introduces fitness and sport skills at the appropriate developmental age.

SPORT FOR LIFE- LTDP

SRSA

LTDP

LTPD consists of 7 stages. The first 3 encourage physical literacy and sport for all: 1. Active Start 2. FUNdamentals 3. Learning to Train The next 3 focus on excellence: 4. Training to Train 5. Training to Compete 6. Training to Win The final stage encourages life-long physical activity: 7. Active for life

UNDERSTANDING USSA

SRSA

On 27 May 1998, the National Department of Sport and Recreation released the White Paper on Sport and Recreation which determines that: “The recognized co-coordinating body for the organization of sport at tertiary education level is SASSU (South African Student Sports Union). SASSU’s functions include the following:

A) Implementation of government policy on sport and recreation at

tertiary level; B) Its core business involves sharing of its specialized resources

(both human and infra-structural) with the community, maximizing participation and co-ordinating intra- and inter-institutional competitions;

UNDERSTANDING USSA

SRSA

C) Making representations to the macro-bodies (NSC & NOCSA) and relevant government departments, with respect to tertiary sport;

D) Liaising with national and provincial federations with respect to

tertiary sport;

E) Liaising with its international parent body, the International University Sports Federation (FISU);

F) Facilitating South Africa’s participation at international tertiary education institution sports events.”

UNDERSTANDING USSA

SRSA

In April 2008, SASCOC agreed that university sport should continue to exist independently in its current format and that the name of SASSU is changed to University Sport South Africa (USSA).

USSA to proceed as the official national co-ordinating umbrella

sports structure for the regulation and organisation of all university sports activities in South Africa

SASCOC to take responsibility for the preparation and delivery of

teams to all high performance multi-coded international events, i.e. FISU Universiades, FASU and CUCSA Games.

USSA in association with National Federations to remain responsible

for the preparation and delivery of teams that will participate in individual FISU World University Championship events.

SASSU BECOMES USSA

SRSA

The new government drove a radical restructuring of higher education aimed at making it stronger and more focused and efficient.

The binary divide was dismantled, and the number of institutions

was cut from 36 to 23 through mergers and campus incorporations involving most institutions.

The new landscape comprises three types of institutions:

• ‘traditional’ research-focused universities, • universities of technology, • ‘comprehensive’ universities (combining academic & vocational

education)

SA HIGHER EDUCATION

SRSA

Student numbers have nearly doubled in the past 16 years, from 473 000 in 1993 to some 799 658 in 2008, according to DBE figures.

Following the advent of democracy, Universities were required to

enrol many more students of all racial groups and build a student body that more accurately reflected South Africa’s demographic make-up.

Expanding student numbers and improving access to higher

education for disadvantaged black people was seen as key to overcoming apartheid inequalities, creating a stable society and producing ht high level skills needed to drive economic growth.

and these documents will now be printed and distributed to all stakeholders.

• NSRP must be costed.

• There is a major challenge awaiting the role-players to ensure that theory can indeed be turned into practice.

• Due to its broad application the NSRP will be implemented in consecutive phases. A thematic approach will be followed with relevant themes being adopted each year. The focus of the 2012/13 financial year is school sport.
