Sport
at CBC Boksburg plays a very large part in the holistic education of
the boys in our care. A healthy mind in a healthy body and a balanced
lifestyle is what we strive towards.
The
overall running of the sport at CBC is the responsibility of the Sport
Office Staff. This department consists of a Sport Director and six
full time sport organizers in charge of the various sports. Many
teachers are also very involved in the coaching and day to day
administration of sport at our school.
The
main summer sports at CBC are Cricket and Swimming and the main winter
sports are Rugby and Hockey. Other sports offered at the College are
Golf, Tennis, Squash, Triathlon and Running. Waterpolo will be
reintroduced on completion of the new pool. Soccer and Athletics is offered in the Prep
School only.
CBC
Boksburg takes part in all the Edmund Rice Sport Festivals in the
various sport codes. The Edmund Rice Festivals are basically inter-CBC
competitions and take place annually and are hosted by the various
CBC’s in South Africa and Zimbabwe. At the end of each festival
pupils who have excelled are recognized by being selected for a SA CBC
Team.
CBC
Boksburg is the proud host of the annual Freedom Festival.
Schools from all over SA and Zimbabwe participate in rugby and hockey
at U7 - U19 levels. We also host a number of
Edmund Rice Festivals annually.
In
an effort to maintain the high standards of excellence and to improve
our sport, CBC Boksburg employ additional coaches
in the various sport codes. These coaches, with the very involved CBC
staff, give the boys in our school every opportunity for participation
and enjoyment from a social standard up to and including provincial
representation.
