“We have our South African National Soccer team called Banyana Banyana who are already competing on a national level, why not start them from a young age and hopefully one day they can compete up there with the best in the world,” Papas said.

He added that there had been great interest shown in such a short space of time. “We are appealing to all new and existing members, if you have a sister, a cousin or simply a friend, come along and give it a try.”
