Olympians Wrestling Club is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, registered as an association incorporated under section 21 and section 18A, to introduce and promote Olympic sport to the historically disadvantaged youth in the Western Cape, Republic of South Africa as a counter- measure to gangsterism, substance abuse and involvement in
crime. The strategy that is being followed, is a two-tiered approach where the youth, who are in the main from areas and schools that are historically disadvantaged and very poor are introduced to the sport of wrestling, nurtured and trained in the various skills needed to participate in the sport and to identify and support those youngsters, of all ages and genders, who show potential and to train, coach and guide them to participate at the club, provincial, national and international level with a view to producing young boys and girls of all ages to compete in the Olympic Games at London in 2012. Since inception, the Olympians Sports Academy (OSA) has directly impacted on hundreds of learners in Primary, High and Secondary Schools, as well as students in tertiary education facilities. We embarked on a project to establish a high-performance training center in the Western Cape which provides our organization to employ professionally trained coaches and who is trained to provide life skill training. We are also the first professional Sports academy system in South Africa. The academy has professionally trained coaches, officials, and administrators to provide skilled training programs.
