SPORTS

Athletics is done annually and we are involved in the Branch,Sub District,District and Provincials and National athletics leagues.

Soccer is the main sport amongst boys. Our boys have participated very enthusiastically in the under 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 DSA soccer tournament. The teams’ results were satisfactory. Our teams have the potential to achieve better. If they continue to play in the spirit in which they play their games, they will go far.

Netball is one of the most popular extra mural activities at Da Silva Academy Combined School. Mini-netball, played by girls between the ages of 7 and 9, is also catered for. Some of these girls have been engaged in the League for the first time. They have displayed a great talent. They have played against a few schools in and around our area. They have won, drawn and lost some of their games. The school intends to maintaining the girls’ enthusiasm for netball and also to continue to develop them. The school has also introduced hockey as an extra mural activity. Learners also have the opportunity to do swimming as an extra mural activity as we have hired a professional swimming coach to teach the learners how to swim.
