What is gsport … for Girls!?

gsport is an online initiative launched in August 2006 by former cricket broadcaster Kass Naidoo and her husband Ryk Meiring.

The aim is to raise the profile of South African women in sport significantly to encourage Corporate South Africa to back female athletes.

So, why women’s sport?

• Men’s sport is well established, well-funded, and well-covered by the media;
• Women’s sport, by contrast, is mostly sustained by a dedicated volunteer base of participants and supporters, and rarely receives media coverage; and
• It is about time that South African women’s outstanding contribution to sport, as participants and as facilitators, is recognised.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What does gsport consist of? The gsport website currently publishes a monthly edition of Leading Ladies and Feature Articles, and a daily Newsroom publishing breaking women’s sports news.
  
• Can gsport sponsor my sport? The gsport mandate is not to sponsor sport events or individuals, but to improve the media profile of South African women in sport, and in that manner to facilitate increased sponsorship opportunities.
• Will gsport always be free? The gsport website will always be free, though some aspects of the website will be restricted to registered members only.
• What are gsport's plans for the future? The central aim of gsport is to improve the profile of South African sports women, and we are continually working on new improvements for the site.
• What women’s sport is published on gsport? We intend to publish news and details of all South African women’s sport on gsport.
• How can I get news of my sport covered on gsport? gsport publishes South African women's sports news on a daily basis, most of it originating from sponsors of women's sport, from athletes, coaches and administrators, who send us news of sport going on. Well-organised sports bodies send us finished articles and photos of their sports events, ready for publication.

The soccer tournament was attended by various municipalities of Gatueng. It was good to see the girls having fun, dressing in soccer kits and their famailes supporting them. An extra to the event was the soccer legends Women vs. Men. The ladies won by 1-0. The event was well organsied and it was good for football. It is a pity that they was little media coverage Reply 0   0
