Using sport for social change in Wentworth
The initiative as a whole is all about levelling the playing field and raising the community.
AUSTERVILLE Primary School in partnership with Play Fair Sports Foundation (PFSF), was the inspiring site of youth development through different sporting codes on Saturday, 2 June.
PFSF, as a non-profit company, has taken the initiative to introduce the young children of Wentworth to sport through different coaching courses and sports clinics at Austerville Primary every Saturday until November. “We will also be working closely with students from Exercise Teachers Academy (ETA) College who will be assisting the children with the different sports codes using a holistic development approach. The initiative as a whole is all about levelling the playing field and raising the community,” said Kerwin Jacks who is one of the facilitators at PFSF.
Kerwin added that the mission is to use sport as a vehicle for social change and social upliftment in Wentworth and surrounding communities.
PFSF further appeals to the public and local businesses for sponsorships for kits, refreshments, sports equipment as well as for revamping of the fields and basketball court at Austerville Primary.
