SS4LS
Sports Skills 4 Life Skills has been active for over 25 years.
Sports Skills for Life Skills (SS4LS) is a sport/educational non-profit organisation (NGO) that originally focused on primarily assisting young cricket players from mostly marginalised communities gain access to further education but are now also diverging to various other sports.
We have a strong bias towards the University of the Western Cape (UWC) where the programme has been based circa 1999, however we support young people at various institutions in the Western Cape.
