PVM Energy Bar Varsity College National Action Sports Weekend
National Action Sports Weekend is happening this weekend!!
So who will be National Action Sports Champions this year??
Will the Westville Cowboys or Durban North Pirates triumph again on home soil...or will the Gauteng campuses, the Sandton Knights or the Pretoria Bulldozers, show their metal against the coastal campuses! Maybe the CPT Vipers who won the Spirit award last time convert some of their great sportsmanship into some great on field performances and take home take one the winners trophies away from Maritzburg Mammoths! The PE Coastal Kings who have been on the knocking on the door of the finals in previous years could be in with a chance! It all boils down to the training and preparation done leading up to the tournament! Good luck and all the best to all students participating!
National Action Sports Weekend is happening again this year from 8 – 10 July in Westville...so get behind your team as they prepare to take on the other campuses in cricket, soccer and netball and aim to be the Varsity College National Action Sports Champions for 2011!
VC Surfing Champs!
Varsity College Surfing team excelled at SA University (USSA) Champs in Victory Bay from 27 – 29 June 2011 with Durban North Sports Life captains Tammy-Lee Smith winning the ladies event and Shawn Dennis coming 2nd in the men’s event...What a fantastic achievement! VC launched surfing as a Sports Life sport in 2011 with both advanced and learn–to–surf programs operating in CPT and Durban. It was great to see a competitive team of 8 men and 2 ladies from the CPT and Durban North campuses participating in the event, with Durban North student Scott Lefevre also making it through to the semi finals! Tammy, Shawn and Scott did VC proud as they all made the USSA team for 2011!

USSA Cycling Tour
VC also entered a team into the USSA Cycling Tour that took place from 28 June – 1 July! This was the 1st time VC competed in a USSA Cycling Tour and it was a great experience for the 3 students Robert Du Preez (Durban North), Tyrone Seaton-Smith and Jared Milford (Sandton). It was a long week of racing with the MTB race taking place on 1st day and then the students had to endure 4 days of stage races and over 200km of road cycling in the Magaliesburg area. Despite the USSA Cycling Tour being focused on road racing we gained a lot of experience and will go better prepared next year!
