Joburg giants set for thrilling 2026 water polo and basketball season
By Marietta Lombard
Johannesburg’s school sports calendar reaches full intensity this February as leading basketball and water polo festivals take centre stage, drawing teams from across Gauteng and beyond.
St Stithians College
The action begins at St Stithians College, which will host its annual St Stithians U16 Basketball Tournament from February 13 to 15, featuring both boys’ and girls’ tournaments.
The tournament has firmly established itself as a key fixture on the schools’ basketball circuit, attracting more than 40 competitive teams across the boys’ and girls’ sections, resulting in significant interest from scouts and national selectors.
Last year’s event underscored the tournament’s growing stature. St Benedict’s College claimed the boys’ title, with St John’s College finishing second and St Stithians Boys’ College securing bronze.
In the girls’ competition, St Peter’s College emerged victorious, followed by ISSA in second place and St Stithians Girls’ College taking bronze.
Coaches praised the standard of play, noting the speed, intensity, and technical quality on display.
The 2026 edition of the St Stithians Basketball U16 Tournament will take place at the St Stithians College basketball precinct and promises to deliver enthralling basketball action, exciting vendors and sponsors, and non-stop action.
Entrance is free. St Stithians College invites #OneAndAll to join them for a weekend of hospitality, highly competitive and entertaining basketball, and the uplifting experience of watching young athletes do what they love best.
St John’s College
Momentum continues the following week when St John’s College hosts its flagship basketball tournament from February 19 to 22.
Widely regarded as the largest boys’ school basketball tournament in southern Africa, the event has grown year on year, both in scale and profile.
The 2026 edition will feature multiple age groups, including U19A, U19B, U15, and U13 divisions, with teams from across South Africa, as well as international participants from Mauritius and Zimbabwe.
In 2025, the tournament attracted more than 4 000 spectators, excluding players, reinforcing its status as a major drawcard for schools, families, and sponsors.
Matches will be played across St John’s College and additional indoor venues, ensuring a packed programme and uninterrupted competition.
Jeppe Boys
Meanwhile, Jeppe High School for Boys will become a focal point for both aquatic and court-based sports.
The school will host the prestigious U14 Ken Short Water Polo Festival from February 26 to March 1, alongside its U14 basketball festival during the same period.
The Ken Short Festival is expected to attract top water polo schools from around the country, with organisers emphasising the scale of preparation required.
Visiting teams will be hosted on campus, supported by parents, staff, and volunteers who manage logistics ranging from transport and catering to officiating and first aid.
The event has become known not only for high-quality competition but also for its sense of community.
Organisers across all three schools say these festivals play a vital role beyond results and trophies.
With February packed with these high-profile events, Johannesburg’s young athletes are set to
