Our Reason For Being

Play Sport4Life (PS4L) is a non-profit organization that has been operating in the wider Cape Town area for 10 years.

Our mission and focus, since we started, has been to help improve the lives and wellness of the disadvantaged in our communities by providing appropriate opportunities using sports as a vehicle for a healthier lifestyle. We work to equip the people in these communities with the necessary life skills to help them deal with day-to-day challenges that may lead to a positive impact on their lives as well as the people around them.

Sport is the vehicle of choice to achieve our goals. Through our sports heroes we create role models for our young adults. Play Sport4Life works with our sports heroes to show what dedication and a healthy lifestyle can be achieved. In particular, we are focussing our attention on Women in Sport to show young disadvantaged girls the pathway to improving their game and a better lifestyle.

Over the last 10 years, we have broadened our reach from small beginnings in the Kensington area to working with needy communities in Atlantis, Bredasdorp, Riviersonderend, Joe Slovo, Philippi, Mitchell’s Plain and Cape Town Central.
