Thekwini Sports Academy is a new Academy opened up in the South Durban Basin. In South Africa we are on a permanent drive to encourage sport to be played by all age groups and especially in the previously disadvantaged communities.  We at Thekwini Sports Academy have answered that challenge in the creation of a multi sports Academy where improving the skills of our students is of utmost importance and reaching out into the community is our primary aim. All our students in first year will study Sport, Recreation and Fitness leadership certificate, IDCL and a generic coaching skills program. Some of the modules covered are: 
  • Demonstrate knowledge of fitness principles
  • Provide for sport safety and risk management
  • Understand issues affecting people with special needs and values and ethics
  • Lead, promote, organize and facilitate sport recreation and fitness activities
  • Implement fitness programs within a sport
  • Apply entrepreneurship in administration of a sport and fitness business
 This qualification will enable a qualified learner to lead creative, innovative and exciting sport, recreation and fitness programs and activities within communities.   The generic skills coaching covers interesting aspects such as 
  • Apply the Principle of Growth and Development to Coaching
  • Apply an Understanding of Social and Psychological Aspects of Sports
  • Apply Principles of Sport and Exercise Physiology
  • Plan Practice Sessions and Teaching Sport Skills
  • Include persons with a disability in Sport

 All our students will get to organise and teach an hour or two every week in their specific sport code. In this way we will reach out into as many primary schools as possible to encourage and mentor active participation. We are extremely excited to have African Global Skills Academy, Fitness warehouse and Super Sport as partners in this new venture. Please email me should you require any further information at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
