Sharing Cultures Through Sport
Connect Academy & Edwin Doran Sports Tours
We are proud to have been working with Edwin Doran Sports Tours, one of the leading operators of school and club trips to South Africa, since 2016.
Our Connect Academy mission is to provide access to resources and opportunities through sport to those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The chance to play multiple touring fixtures every year in rugby and netball helps us to do exactly that for our young people, who thrive on meeting their peers from across the globe.
Donations made by many of the touring schools, meanwhile, form a vital part of our income as a non-profit company and we have been blown away by the support we have received over the years.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch ahead of your visit to ask any questions, or see how you can support our work here in Cape Town.
*Exact dates, times and fixtures subject to change, please see our website and social media ahead of each fixture for full details.
Watch Our Tour Fixtures Live
SuperSport Schools partnership means you can follow all the action
You can watch our fixtures against our Edwin Doran Sports Tours throughout the season, thanks to our partnership with SuperSport Schools.
Their support since 2022 allows us to stream matches live through the free SS Schools App, as well as on the SS Schools website.
Games then remain on the app and website for you to catch up with at a time to suit you, so you can always cheer on your family member or friend from afar!
