AGE 8-18

Play and Learn

Our Play and Learn program is designed to build self-esteem, resilience, and essential life skills. We provide a safe supportive environment that helps young people navigate social challenges, while fostering personal growth.

By unifying physical activity with character development, Play and Learn promotes mental, emotional, and physical well-being, while serving as a platform to encourage teamwork, leadership, and positive ambition.

We offer structured sports programmes across multiple age groups

  • Soccer: U11, U13, U15, U17, U19

  • Netball: U11, U13, U15, U17

Our teams participate in official leagues such as the Langa Football Association and the Eersterivier Netball League, competing in various tournaments throughout the year.

Every year, a selected soccer team represents Project Playground at the Gothia Cup in Sweden, the world’s largest youth soccer tournament. This prestigious opportunity allows our players to experience different cultures, gain international exposure, and develop both on and off the field— broadening their horizons beyond their local communities.

Every child is served a nutritious meal daily to combat malnutrition, and access to transport from our center to ensure safety.
