Jai Hind Primary's sport representative participates in mini cricket national seminar
The seminar focused on nurturing young athletes from foundational school fields to club, provincial, and national excellence, including the Dolphins and the Proteas.
Ivan Govender of Jai Hind Primary recently joined a distinguished delegation of regional coaches and coordinators for the 2026 KFC Mini Cricket National Seminar.
Hosted in Zimbali, Ballito, the delegation included fellow representatives Barry Maharaj, Precious Zulu, Thobekile Mkhize, Happiness Mthethwa, Nduduzo Ngcobo, and Sindisiwe Shozi, uniting regional stakeholders to advance youth sports.
The delegates assembled at Hollywood Bets Kingsmead before travelling together to the coastal venue in Ballito. On arrival, they completed registration formalities and received welcome packages complete with official branded apparel, tracksuits, jackets, golf shirts, notebooks, and writing materials.
Centred on the guiding theme ‘From Mini to Mighty ‘, the seminar focused on nurturing young athletes from foundational school fields to club, provincial, and national excellence, including the Dolphins and the Proteas.
Proceedings featured presentations on child safeguarding, KFC community impact studies, and a powerful motivational address by a guest speaker. Attendees also received guidance from the KZN Sports Department, reinforcing the core professional ethos: “It’s not about you, but it happens through you.”
Alongside strategic workshops, the programme incorporated dynamic team-building and cultural integration activities. Participants visited uShaka Marine World for beach-based exercises, collaborative group events, and cultural showcases.
The seminar concluded with actionable commitments to revitalise mini-cricket infrastructure in schools. Delegates pledged to increase match frequency in rural and township communities while actively training and equipping a broader cohort of volunteer coaches to maximise long-term social impact.
