Tshwane 10s launches this month

According to Gerhardi Odendaal, CEO of the Old School Group and festival director of the Cape Town 10s, “After months of careful planning and hard work, we are extremely proud to announce our plans to expand the Cape Town 10s offering with the launch of the Tshwane 10s. Last year we set an unprecedented benchmark with the introduction of beach volleyball as a new sport and we strived to maintain that momentum. With that came the bold move to take the Cape Town 10s formula to the capital, but also to expand the offering in Tshwane to 7 different sports on offer and a truly unique Social Olympics sports festival.”

The Old School Group - the team behind the Cape Town 10s, has introduced a number of new elements to the event modelled on the Cape Town 10s by including three completely new sporting codes: dodgeball, lawn bowls and squash. Players and spectators may expect sporting action from more than 100 teams taking part across the various codes on offer, including rugby, netball, beach volleyball, dodgeball, lawn bowls, touch rugby and squash. Along with the action on the sports fields, the event will feature an entertainment line-up and guest appearances from South African sporting celebrities.

Following the same formula that has made the Cape Town 10s, the Tshwane 10s will offer guests the opportunity to rub shoulders with Cape Town 10s co-founders Rob Fleck and Bob Skinstad as well as other South African sportspeople, including the likes of Bakkies Botha, Victor Matfield, Fourie Du Preez, Derick Hougaard, Percy Montgomery, Gcobani Bobo and Jacques Burger set to make their mark at the event.

The Tshwane 10s will also feature celebrity rugby and netball teams with a host of South African radio personalities, comedians, music stars and TV stars participating.

Title sponsors of the event, Stor-Age, who have long been a part of the Cape Town 10s, are also associated with the move into Tshwane.
