Pirates Sports Club was established in 1888, making us one of the oldest sports clubs in Johannesburg and this year we celebrate our 135th birthday.

We are a club rich in history – offering multiple sports to participate in at a junior level (U18), as well as at a senior level.

Since Covid restrictions were lifted, we have seen a massive growth in membership with more guests coming through to enjoy our facilities.

During the lockdown period we relied heavily on donations and all of our staff received salaries. We now proudly show our ‘Rescue Crew’ inside the club to show appreciation to those donors.

We are a community-based club that gives back every chance we get; such as sports equipment donations to Play It Forward and offer facility use to Vuleka School – at no cost! Participation across all of our sports offering – bowls, cricket, hockey, rugby, road running, squash, tennis, as well as social membership has skyrocketed!

We have beautiful facilities and have added Padel to the mix in the last year, as well as two restaurants – one on each of the campuses and three bars for you to choose from!
