Description:
A integrated community-based sports, arts and culture development project catering for the disadvantaged rural communities. All the participants in the project have been drawn from the communities themselves in and around the rural areas of Midvaal Local Council and will eventually focus around Sedibeng District Council in general; based solely on total voluntarism with no any kind of monetary payment as at current. Sporting-2000 Project will focus on providing numerous opportunities for the disadvantaged rural communities in particular the youth who are out-of-school, unemployed, the employed and students in sports, arts and culture as well as vocational education and training, while currently it is concentrating on sports i.e. soccer (including ladies soccer) and netball, especially those from the extremely low income areas such as the marginalized rurals and to a lesser extent the few close townships in Midvaal; since they still have rural people who were forced by various compelling circumstances to leave the farms. It is expected that through the provision of information to these communities, it will be possible to have a direct and positive effect on the well being of the rural community in general.
Sporting-2000 Project strictly utilizes willing, dedicated, and determined volunteers who are students at various schools as well as employed and unemployed community members. Each student and community volunteers will be expected to successfully participate in this project for a minimum of twelve(12) months’ as part of their training program to transfer skills in the field of community-based projects that will follow from the beginning of their participation/volunteering work with Sporting-2000 Project. This training program will provide basic understanding of what a community project is all about and all the activities associated with it. Volunteers who demonstrate proficiency during the initial training program, especially students will be invited to participate in an advanced training program to learn effective project management skills in general as well as the associated techniques. Each student/community member volunteer will be expected to contribute an agreed amount of time each week and to continue with Sporting-2000 Project for a period of not less than 12 months.
Sporting-2000 Project will operate with 8 part time voluntary staff members and some additional members depending on the programmes initiated within the project itself. They will be constituted as follows:
• 5 members of Board of Trustees – two adult women and two adult men who are community members of standing order and respect while the project leader will also be included as the chair.

• 3 members of the Executive Committee – chair, secretary, and treasurer (financial officer).

• Additional members as required per programme e.g. soccer with its technical manager, coach, physical trainer, and captain.

This volunteering Board of Trustees will serve to provide overall sanctioning and administration of the Project’s operations and programmes. Periodic evaluations will be conducted to assess the value of Sporting-2000 Project on :
1. helping the student volunteers to become effective educators and leaders of the future generations of the project and the community in general,

2. the development of new rural generation that will serve as the best model to accommodate the rural communities in the same way as their urban counterparts by ensuring that there is proper service delivery which will result into sustainable socio-economic development, and

3. the improvement of the well being of these communities especially their social aspect where a concept of Agrivillage will be the end result.
