Academy Manager Mr Hermann Terblanche
ECAS Academy athletes recorded numerous astonishing achievements in the past financial year. Behind each of these achievements, lie a story of hard work and dedication, heartache and jubilation, good fortune and bad luck, but most importantly, the support structure and strength drawn from family, friends, coaches, sport federations and administrators.
The Eastern Cape Academy of Sport plays a vital role in identifying potentially elite performers in both the urban and rural areas, and we will continuously ensure that systems are put in place to unearth talent from all sectors of the community.
For the reporting period, the Individual Athlete Programme (IAP) included 61 athletes compared to 57 from the previous financial year. In addition, the Residential Programme incorporated 11 athletes, resulting in an increase of 20 % on the IAP Programme. The athletes coming from the so-called Rural Districts represented 50 % of the athlete total in this component.
The Elite Squad System covered 16 different sporting codes from across the province, which was mostly coordinated in conjunction with provincial federations. Roughly 305 athletes have been benefitting from this leg of the programme.
The most significant progress of the past year, was the inception of the ECAS Provincial Residential Programme. ECAS regards the Residential Programme as the pinnacle in the pathway of the Athlete Development process in the Eastern Cape. It provides the opportunity to post-school sport achievers to further their studies at recognised tertiary institutions, whilst enhancing their sporting career by having access to first class sport facilities, coaching and sport science expertise. ECAS has accepted 11 Residential Athletes at the beginning of 2015, representing Athletics, Swimming and Boxing. The most significant aspect is that these are top-level athletes who would have been lost to the province as they would have considered offers from other institutions.
We wish to acknowledge the newly formed partnership with Futurelife, who has come on board as the official nutritional supplier of the Academy. Their sponsorship provides us with the capacity to supply all our IAP athletes with their daily nutritional requirements in all 8 Districts of the province.
I take the opportunity of thanking the wide spectrum of service providers who has worked with our athletes during the past financial year and who have made a contribution to assist our future stars in achieving their goals.
