PEP is playing a huge role in promoting and marketing netball, helping to revive interest in the sport across the South Africa.
The retail giant is going from province to another to ensure that the sport reclaim the spotlight again.
There was a time when many supporters had drifted away from the game, but that trend is rapidly changing.
This youth month, Hluhluwe Primary School in KZN played host to over 70 schools around the province.
About 91 coaches from these schools attended a training session where they gained practical tools and insights to support the holistic development of young players and strengthen netball within their respective communities.
All sessions are facilitated by PEP mini Netball ambassador Dumisani Chauke, alongside Dr Elsje Jordaan and Minnette Dempsey.
The session forms part of the broader PEP mini Netball programme, which continues to invest in coach development and empower the next generation of netball talent across South Africa. Today, fans from all corners of the nation are filling school venues and following netball matches with renewed passion and excitement.
This resurgence demonstrates the power of visionary leadership, effective marketing, and sustained investment in grassroots development.
By supporting school netball and creating opportunities for young athletes to showcase their talent, PEP is contributing to the long-term growth and sustainability of the sport.
As more communities embrace school netball, the future of the game looks brighter than ever, with a strong foundation being built for the next generation of stars to shine on both the national and international stage.
