Soccer
Dispite lack of sporting facilities such as football ground, our players try their utmost in competing with their counterparts. The nearby Xubeni and Ecaleni community grounds (2km) are mostly utilised as our home venues for in matches.
Both boys and girls have passion in this sport and this is explicitly evidence when we highlight the incentives won.
Netball
This is another sporting activity for girls that recently overlap to boys. Most local and district competitions under Netball South Africa (NSA) invite our school for both genders. Because of limited international exposure our Tembisa schools are only participating for local and district competitions.
The teams are promisingly active although we lack of sporting grounds is a problem. This force them to play local league games outside school premises and it sometimes inconvenience community teams. We’re trying to motivate them while looking for sponsorships for development of grounds as we have plenty of spaces.
