Executive summary

1. Background and mission
- Establishment: Founded in 2017 in Gauteng Province, South Africa.
- Mission (inferred): To provide accessible, quality sports training that develops athletic skills, promotes health and well-being, and supports personal development and community cohesion among children and youth.
- Core values: Inclusivity (boys and girls), developmentally appropriate coaching, and community impact.
2. Services offered
SSF’s core services centre on regular training sessions and sports development activities across three codes:
- Training programs
- Soccer: Skill development, tactical awareness, small-sided and full-field training tailored by age/ability.
- Netball: Fundamental skills, positional training, match-play practice and team tactics.
- Basketball: Ball handling, shooting, defense/offense drills, and game simulations.
- Age-appropriate curricula: Sessions adapted for pre-school (3–5), primary-age (6–12), adolescent (13–17) and senior participants.
- Competitive pathways
- Participation in local leagues, tournaments and friendly matches (where applicable).
- Talent identification and progression into higher-performance squads or representative teams.
- Coach education and support
- Qualified/coaching staff delivering structured sessions; ongoing coach development recommended.

- Fitness and conditioning, injury prevention, sport-specific workshops, holiday camps, parent engagement sessions, community outreach programs in surrounding neighbourhoods.
3. Operational model and facilities (typical)

- Age-grouped cohorts and coach-to-player ratios adjusted by age and skill level.
4. Current demographic profile (known)

- Gender: Open to both boys and girls; mixed-gender programs likely for younger cohorts, gender-specific teams for netball (typically female) and male/female soccer and basketball teams as applicable.
- Geographic location: Based in Gauteng Province, attracting participants primarily from local communities within the province.
- Years of operation: Active since 2017—5+ years of programming experience (as of 2025).
