#Festival to host community games

Namibia Media Holdings (NMH) will host the second edition of the community games from 13 to 15 September. This forms part of the #Festival, which will include a career exhibition, coaching clinics and of course the community games. The community or sports games are based on the principle of communities or schools competing against each other over a weekend in which sport brings communities closer.The sports codes are as follows: Super Sevens Rugby, Fast 5 Netball, Quick 5 Soccer, High-5 Hockey, cheerleader dance-offs and fastest 60m grass dash,Nine community teams will be invited to participate at the games, comprising of five community teams from Windhoek and four from the rest of the country. The idea is for two/six schools in a community to come together and form a franchise team, which participates under the franchise and the community in the franchise works together and bonds.Children participating must be under-17 or younger. This will also contribute towards the development of sport in general. Each community franchise team will have a managing or organising school and two to five participating schools. In total there will be 38 learners from each franchise. There can be one coach involved with each sport code. So in total there are 44 members for each franchise, plus one manager. In total over 500 learners will be involved. The franchises are as follows: Ernst Venzke is the patron and the Windhoek Saints is the name of the franchise, which includes St Georges as the managing school, as well as Windhoek High School, St Paul's College and Centaurus Secondary School.Christiana Angermund is the patron of the Pioneer Warriors, which is the name of the franchise. Windhoek Technical School is the managing school, which features Academia Secondary School, Concordia High School, Hage Geingob Secondary School and Augustineum.For exhibitor booking applications and terms and conditions for participation or any additional information that you may have, please don't hesitate to contact Michelle le Roux or Natalie van Wyk, the event organisers, at events@nmh.com.na or call +264 61 297 2104.
