Golf
At SACS, golf is a secondary sport played during the winter months, in terms 2 and 3. Home matches are hosted at Rondebosch Golf Club. To participate in one of the SACS teams, players are expected to be members of a recognized golf club and, ideally, to have a registered handicap. Matches follow a 9-hole, match-play format and take place on Monday afternoons.
SACS enters three teams in the WP schools golf leagues, the 1st team in the WP South A league and the 2nd and 3rd teams in the WP South B league. SACS also participates in the annual Cape Schools Golf Week which is played in the June holidays. This event brings together schools from the Western and Eastern Cape and is held in the Knysna/Plettenberg Bay area, the George area or at Cape St Francis.
Squash
At SACS, squash is a secondary sport played during the winter months, spanning terms 2 and 3. The school is equipped with two well-maintained, glass-backed courts, providing an excellent environment for our players.
SACS fields four teams in the school squash leagues. Our 1st team competes in the prestigious Super League, facing top players from Cape Town, Stellenbosch, and Paarl. The 2nd team participates in the WP League, where many schools enter their 1st teams, giving our players strong competition. We follow the philosophy, “If he’s good enough, he’s old enough,” allowing talented younger players to compete at the highest level. In 2024, for instance, two Grade 8 boys earned places on our 1st team. The remaining boys play in the two junior sides.
Many of our squash players are also committed to other sports, such as hockey or rugby. Our teams benefit from professional coaching, with staff members assigned to manage the sides, ensuring well-rounded support.
We actively encourage participation in WP squash open and closed competitions, as this is the pathway to earning WP colours. Each year, several SACS players achieve this honor, and currently, we are proud to have a player ranked in the top 5 in South Africa.
Surfing
Surfing is a secondary sport at SACS. We enter two teams in the annual Western Cape Interschools Surfing League, a competitive surf held every other Friday during Terms 2 and 3, where SACS has long been a dominant force.
A highlight is the West Coast tour during the winter swell months, where our top surfers have the opportunity to refine their skills at one of the country’s premier surf spots. Between league events and the tour, we have bi-weekly excursions to local beaches for additional opportunities to surf. Surfing is a growing sport at SACS, and we look forward to expanding the program further.
