Many people are interested in sport but lack the know-how, we need some officials trained in different sporting codes. How to get this?
SADSF has, in the past, trained Deaf sport leaders in sport administration, coaching and officiating. These were done under DISSA in their Talent Identification and Development (TID) program. SADSF can continue to carry on these initiatives should people come forward with the request. At the moment, provinces have not indicated the need for these trainings, but we remain committed to ensuring that people receive trainings. Again these training needs should be referred to provincial Deaf sport structures which then will include them in their yearly budgets for SADSF to apply for funds on their behalf. Capacity Building is, in fact, one of the 5 SADSF priority focus areas for 2010-2014 and beyond.
