ECAS Commission Chairperson Ms Jean Miggels
When you serve others, your own heart heals; I want to encourage us to sow good seed by serving others. You may find that the life you transform is your own: Nick Vujici. I want to take the opportunity to express my sincere condolences to all the sports activist, athletes, family members that we have lost during the time of COVID 19. May the Lord strengthen the families and sporting fraternal. Yes, indeed it’s been a difficult time for the country, world, but let us keep the faith. Another year has gone by and ECAS have so much successful stories to tell. ECAS is a beacon of hope to our talented athletes and coaches to achieve their goals. ECAS empower the athletes to perform at national and international level, to encourage and motivate them to do their best. ECAS has given birth to a lot of athletes that are on an International level during the past year and are still doing it. ECAS is giving an opportunity to develop and to restore confidence, dignity and self-worth of the athlete and coaches. ECAS is educating athletes/coaches to make the right choices in life to enhance their sporting career and to take ownership of the opportunity that has been given to them to better their lives. ECAS is playing a vital role in making a difference in the lives of the athletes/coaches, as they are all coming from different back grounds, up bring, disability, behaviours and values. I just want to highlight a few of our success stories: • Athletes abled and disabled did very well at National and International level, and we are looking forward to 2020 when athletes go to Olympics and Paralympics making us proud in the Eastern Cape. • The High Performance Centre in Mthatha opened this year. • The Focus Schools is up and running. • Smaller hubs were established. We want to take the opportunity to thank all our sponsors and PARTNERS such as DSRAC, NLDTF (lotto), SASCOC, NMU, ECSC, PUMA and FUTURE LIFE for contributing to the greatness and success of the athletes. I want to take the opportunity to thank the administration together with the Board/Commission of ECAS for their dedication, support, commitment and hard work to ensure that we produced athletes/coaches of a high standard. Through the academy we produced world class athletes coming from the eight districts, rural areas in the Eastern Cape. We had 2x disabled athletes from the Eastern Cape representing SA in the World Championships, as well as other athletes for various sporting codes. We want to congratulate them for making us proud in the Eastern Cape. With most of the athletes coming from a disadvantage background and difficult circumstances, ECAS give them a sense of belonging. The selection of athletes as well as sport groups is defined and followed without fail. We take our mandate from the National sport and recreation plan “Academy System” Strategic objective 15: To support the development of South African sport through a coordinated academy system. An academy system is a critical component of the South African sports development continuum. The academy system refers to a range of institutions in SA that will be part of a national unified, integrated approach with the aim of developing sporting talent at different levels. The system must assist in addressing the demographics of our national teams by accelerating the development of talented athletes particularly from the disadvantaged groups.” We want to take the opportunity to thank NMU for hosting us as well as DSRAC for the financial support that guarantees the success and existence of our academy. We must appreciate the partnership with PUMA and FUTURELIFE as they build confidence and leads to the success of our athletes.
Thanking you. PLEASE STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS.

National Perspective - SASCOC Strategic Framework
Background The concept of Academies of Sport was the product of a feasibility study and fact-finding missions undertaken by the former National Sports Council, Department of Sport and Recreation and sports scientists and sports managers to Australia in 1995. This emanated from the NSC’s Vision for Sport which recommended the creation of an academy of sports system as part of the total development strategy for South Africa. Due to the vastness of South Africa and the feedback from the visit undertaken in 1995, South Africa had to adopt a decentralized academy support system. This led to the establishment of the nine Provincial Sports Academies (PAS) operating under the auspices of the National Sports Council (NSC). In 2000, the NSC was disbanded and the South African Sports Commission (SASC) formed. The academies’ function was then transferred to the SASC under the People Development Unit. The SASC Blueprint on PAS (21 February 2002) stipulated the concept of PAS. The Blueprint states that although the focus of the PAS will primarily be on provincial athletes, the infrastructure developed should be able to support athletes at a national level. The PAS should, therefore, be empowered to become the hub of sports development in the country – from talent identification to elite level. The blueprint also emphasized that satellites or regional academies (supporting the main PAS) should be functional in the Provinces in order to ensure that support services are easily accessible to athletes residing in rural areas (SASC, 2002).
On 27 November 2004, the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) was formed after the report of the Ministerial Task Team recommended the need for a single non-government macro- body to co-ordinate and control sport in South Africa.
In recent years, the National Department of Sport and Recreation has been instrumental in terms of funding of Provincial Academy programmes through the Division of Revenue Act (DORA) Grant. Specialised Sport Science Units within the Department has been at the fore- front of providing strategic direction through the initiation of various national programmes and projects. Attempts to standardise and streamline Academy initiatives with the aim to create a unified Academy approach, has been on-going.

Education and Training Programme
The education and training program is comprised of the following four components: the generic coaches program, the e-learning program, hosting national and international seminars and the coaches’ accreditation program. The education and training program encompasses educational and training opportunities for ECAS staff and coaches across the province. The coaches’ education programme strives to facilitate the further development of coaches who play an integral role in the development of our ECAS athletes. The educational programme is a multifaceted programme comprised of educational workshops, e-learning opportunities, and official accreditation opportunities. The educational workshops are comprised of two pillars facilitating a progression-based approach to challenging the mental capacity of the coaches in the province. Collectively, all educational efforts are driven towards fostering holistic athlete-coach development. The training opportunities exist in the form of workshops conducted by national or international level guest speakers.
