One of PS4L’s primary objectives is to support educational institutions, particularly schools, through improvement of facilities and physical educational enrichment programs as well as innovative after school programs. Many of the most disadvantaged schools in South Africa have little to no capacity for funding physical education or sport for their learners. In order to provide physical education to learners, they are reliant on external aid and assistance. Learners are provided with advanced physical education during their Life Orientation classes as part of our EduSport program Trained and experienced PS4L coaches conduct the classes, clinics, and after school programs. The activities are planned according to the developmental need of learners and in consultation with the school’s sports coordinator and principal. The consultation between PS4L, the coaching staff, and school management ensures that the work of PS4L is of the upmost value to the learners. The physical education classes and after school sport programs are focused on the development of motor skills; hand-eye coordination; improving discipline and the values of good sportsmanship; building stamina and improving general health and wellbeing; and promoting a positive attitude towards health and physical activity in general. Through sport, children have a real opportunity to gain confidence and a voice.
