Old Mutual Waterpolo Prestige Cup
Overview
Roedean School and Old Mutual have entered into a most exciting partnership and collaboration which will focus on developing the skills of both swimming and water polo for girls. Ten schools have been invited to participate in the water polo tournaments.
The participating schools have generously made a commitment to use their facilities and resources to assist a school in their geographic vicinity which is under-resourced and consequently does not have the capacity currently to develop the required skills in their pupils who show promise.
The winning team will be awarded a cash prize of R30,000.00, courtesy of Old Mutual. This amount will go into a specific school development project related to swimming and/or water polo in their partner school. The Gauteng Water Polo Association has endorsed this concept and has generously volunteered their coaching resources to assist in the effective development of this programme.
Old Mutual Roedean Sponsorship
Old Mutual is committed to social development and investing in South African talent. To this end the Old Mutual Sponsorship team plays an active role in an array of fields and our sponsorships contribute to building on the rich cultural tapestry of our nation. This is achieved by promoting unity through sporting events, celebrating diversity and stimulating growth and education.
Sport plays an integral role in developing this country’s youth and Old Mutual is always looking for projects such as this that help the youth, and in this specific instance, young girls realise their goals. There are few nations that are as aware of the unifying nature of a sporting event as South Africa.
By sponsoring the Roedean School Old Mutual Water Polo Prestige Cup we wish to promote the development of young girls through sport; giving them an opportunity to enhance their self-esteem and develop a positive body image by recognising themselves as competent, strong and healthy.
We are extremely proud to be a part of the Roedean School Old Mutual Water Polo Prestige Cup, and hope it continues to do great things by enabling young girls to realise their incredible sporting talents.
