We have already moved into our new sports facilities with the great collaboration with the Johannesburg Secondary School where a sports partnership has been formed where the players from this school can also be developed, which previously was very enthusiastic about playing all the school championships, so now they have returned to this and an adequate program so they where there students will benefit by combining there studies and sport.
On December 3 we closed all the activities of the academy, the important thing was the development of all the players who registered with the passion of accelerating their process and above all the combination of study and soccer.
This year was very satisfying, especially players who were able to graduate to higher development level and play at another level, as we all know, they do not all paly have the same level, but with practice and dedication, each player can reach this level.
This year we were able to graduate more than 20 players to the development team, this was a great success since the players always have this dream of playing in the development category and that is the objective, others will logically continue trying. Sometimes, when things are done in a hurry, we do not have results or because we favor only certain players to graduate and when the two leagues we play begin, they are expected perform, which is why you have to be very cautious and patient. That is why all the relatives were asked to follow the objectives and criteria of the academy.

We do not want to give priority to winning, it is the objective, winning is part of development, but the development of the players has to be priority is the most important thing. From 5 years to 17 years, these are very important stages and this is our objective.
We have players who have good talent and our goals are to get these players recognized by scouts and can play in the development of the PSL teams. At This moment in Belgium for the KV Waterloo club is a source of pride and our local players like Thabiso Monyane in Orlando Pirates this is the goal and we are achieving it, more players will be playing at a high erlevel.
