Beyers van der Merwe, Chief Marketing Officer at PEP, shared his excitement about how the programme has grown and continues to grow; “This is a truly proud moment for PEP mini Netball because by reaching all nine provinces, more young girls can discover their love for the sport.

The PEP mini Netball coaching sessions will once again be led by some of South Africa’s finest netball minds:
🏐 Dumisani Chauke – PEP mini Netball Ambassador & former Spar Proteas Assistant Coach
🏐 Dr. Elsje Jordaan – Sports Scientist from Sportisimo & Golden Fireballs Coach
🏐 Minnette Dempsey – Motivational Speaker & Team Culture Coach from Sportisimo
Their expertise and passion have consistently inspired attendees, equipping them with the knowledge and motivation to nurture the next generation of netball talent in their communities.
Di Woolley, President of South African Schools Netball (SASN), praised PEP’s ongoing support for the PEP mini Netball programme: “The PEP mini Netball festivals and coaching sessions continue to become a powerful tool for youth development, allowing young girls from all backgrounds to gain basic skills in netball at grassroots level.
