About us
Sport is our entry point for connection.
Who we are
Sikunye Youth Sports Program NPC is a community-based youth initiative rooted in Dimbaza, Eastern Cape. We use sport as a platform for youth development, participation, healthy lifestyles, discipline, teamwork, leadership and positive community engagement.
Sikunye is an umbrella platform through which different sporting divisions and youth-development activities operate under one shared vision: bringing people together through sport and creating meaningful opportunities — especially where access to organised sport is limited.
Vision
To build a united, active and empowered youth community where sport opens pathways to participation, personal development, leadership and positive community engagement.
Mission
To make sport more accessible to young people in underserved communities — through inclusive opportunities, healthy and disciplined lifestyles, and partnerships that strengthen the wider community.

A training session in Dimbaza
Coaching first, always.
Each week a coach stands in front of the group with a ball at his foot and shows them what to do. The rest is repetition, encouragement and a court that is always open.
Showing up
Being there counts too.
Some play, some watch from the sideline, some just come to be with the group. Every one of them is part of why this works.
