Sport Guidelines

We play sport for healthy recreation and enjoyment. Children have to be active every day. Physical activity stimulates growth and leads to improved physical and emotional health. Research has shown that the importance of physical activity in children is stronger than ever. For Eversdal, sport is much more than just exercise because it also contributes to a child’s development, both psychologically and socially. The sport field also creates an all-important learning environment for our learners where they can learn to cope, adapt and function in a team environment. These are all important skills which our learners will need to acquire and apply in adult life.

Eversdal Primary School is committed to providing the best sporting environment and facilities possible, so that every learner in the School is able to play the sport of his/her choice, guided by quality coaching and instruction. This commitment endeavours to provide for the full spectrum of Eversdal Primary School’s learners; for the ambitious talented sports boys and girls, to be prepared for sport at the highest level, as well as those who wish to enjoy their sport on a more social level. Furthermore, the sport coaches are committed to create an environment in which each learner is encouraged to participate in the correct manner and spirit.

  • The main objective of sport is enjoyment. Learners must have fun while participating.
  • Sport needs to be instrumental in teaching learners how to deal with life.
  • Coaches need to make time and create opportunities for experimenting, to celebrate success, to make mistakes, to carry the consequences and to learn from them.
  • Learners are children and they do not have the experience and expertise of adults.
  • Sport is about the development of learners, coaches, educators, parents and spectators.
  • Losing a match is just as important for personal development as winning. To lose requires emotional control and constructive thinking.
  • To establish a healthy balance between achievement and participation.
  • To promote mass participation in a variety of school sports.
  • To help develop a true love for, and enjoyment of, the sport.
  • To develop good sportsmanship, camaraderie and perseverance.
  • To develop sport skills.
  • To offer quality coaching through the most appropriate coaching techniques, coaching courses and clinics.
  • To realise and develop our children’s talents.
  • To promote the image of our school by focusing on key values such as: Integrity Respect Discipline Religious beliefs

The Governing Body determines the School’s official sporting disciplines. The nine sporting disciplines below are organised by the School, receive funding from the Annual School Budget and are also recognised as part of the school’s Recognition Policy.

  • Chess (an additional fee of R220 per term)

Athletics

Athletics play a crucial role in the holistic development of young children, offering a foundation for physical fitness and personal discipline. At Eversdal we encourage our learners to take part in various athletic events as this not only promotes healthy growth and development but also fosters the importance of perseverance and goal setting. We motivate our learners to give their very best whilst still practicing good sportsmanship. We feel that early exposure to athletics can inspire a lifelong passion for physical activity and well-being.

Mountain Biking

Mountain biking at Eversdal Primary School will become an official school sport in 2025.  All learners are welcome.  It is a challenging sport that requires physical fitness and technical skills, as it takes place on nature trails.

Mountain biking practices will take place every Wednesday at Bloemendal, not on the school grounds. This sport will help learners improve their endurance, balance, and technical cycling skills.

Bergfiets

Bergfiets by Laerskool Eversdal sal vanaf 2025 ‘n amptelike skoolsport wees.  Alle leerders is welkom.  Dit is ‘n uitdagende sport wat fisieke fiksheid en tegniese vaardighede vereis, aangesien dit op roetes in die natuur gedoen word. Bergfietsoefeninge sal elke Woensdag by Bloemendal plaasvind, nie op die skoolterrein nie. Hierdie sport sal leerders help om hul uithouvermoë, balans en tegniese fietsvaardigheid te verbeter.

Elke leerling sal volgens hul eie fiksheid en vermoë deelneem. Die roetes en uitdagings sal aangepas word na gelang van die leerling se vaardighede, wat dit moontlik maak vir almal, ongeag hul vlak, om hulself uit te daag en te verbeter. Die fokus is dus nie op spanprestasie nie, maar op persoonlike vordering en die ontwikkeling van fietsvaardighede.

Each learner will participate according to their fitness and ability. The trails and challenges will be adjusted based on the learner’s skills, making it possible for everyone, regardless of their level, to challenge themselves and improve. The focus is thus not on team performance, but on personal progress and the development of cycling skills.
