SUPER SCHOOLS INVITATIONAL
TOURNAMENT 2010
23 – 26 April 2010

History

After a very successful first Super Schools Invitational hosted by Paarl Gymnasium in 2009 we are now ready to present to you the tournament proposal for 2010. The host will be Afrikaans Hoër Seunskool and Meisies Hoërskool both celebrating their 90th birthdays this year. South African rugby and netball supporters will see full games and top class schoolboy rugby and girls netball when 14 top invited rugby schools and the top 12 netball schools play against each other.

Some of these schools have never played against each other because of their annual busy schedules. The event will be the highlight sporting event on the schools calendar for these top schools and will contribute tremendously towards opportunities for the sponsors, selected schools and players. Many top players do not get the opportunity to be selected for their provinces or rugby academies unless they participate in a Craven Week or other competitions.

This tournament is again fully endorsed by SA Rugby and SA Netball and will showcase top derby’s that will show skill and class and will definitely contribute towards rugby and netball development in South Africa. We would like to see top school’s rugby and netball showcasing strength versus strength and would not like to see one team trashing the other.

Main Sponsor

The main sponsor for the event for the second year is Wildeklawer. They have the full naming rights and exclusive branding exposure on SuperSport and at the venue. Wildeklawer as the main sponsor also have the full naming rights for 3 (Three) years and will have the first right of refusal to renew the sponsorship for a further period.
