1 Page 1 of 7 OVERVIEW OF THE SASACC PRESENTATION TO SADSAA On the 4 February 2012, representative of South African Sport Anglers & Casting Confederation (SASACC) presented, to a mixed angling facet council, the South African National Sports Structures, Legislation & Policy Overview. In response to the issue of coaching and the need for more medals in international arena, especially after the 2008 Olympics, government initiated a comprehensive plan to increase High Performance and Mass Participation sports with the introduction of two Professors funded by the International Olympic Committee. SASACC indicated that currently most angling facets are in compliance but needed to formalize and tidy up the processes. The presentation consisted of two sections: A. SOUTH ARICAN NATIONAL SPORTS STRUCTURES, LEGISDLATION & POLICY FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE All Sport in South Africa falls under the National Sport & Recreational Act and the associated Ministry Responsible for Sports & Recreation (SRSA) as well as the South African Sports Confederation & Olympic Committee (SASCOC) which forms the high performance leg. SASCOC is also responsible for recognition of National Federations. In terms of angling in South Africa, SASACC is recognised and affiliated to SASCOC and facilitates the interaction between the different national fishing facets and Government.

One of the problems that the Confederation foresees with regards to affiliation to the nine Provincial Sport Councils is the fact that Angling and Casting do not have a representative body in the nine political provinces or for that matter in the Provincial Sport Council sub regions where such regions exists. 2. As is the case with SASCOC on a national level, the Provincial Sport Council only wants one representative angling and casting body to affiliate to them. A representative Confederation, unlike provincial and sub region bodies, should therefore be established to represent and affiliate on behalf of our eleven angling and casting member bodies to the Provincial Sport Councils and Provincial Regional Sport Councils. 3. To make the matter even more complicated, some National Federations for example the SAFBAF have more than one provincial body within the boundaries of a political province (Freshwater have three provincial bodies Gauteng, Gauteng North, Central Gauteng within the Gauteng political province). 4. After a discussion on this matter at the last SASACC Annual General Meeting it seems that the best way forward would be the following: 4.1 A representative provincial angling and casting body should be established in each of the nine political provinces who would then affiliate to the main Provincial Sports Council of each province. The Provincial Chairmen of all active angling and casting bodies could form the Management Committee of the representative body. A chairman for the Representative Body could be appointed by the Provincial Chairmen committee. 4.2 Where regional provincial sport councils exist within a Province, the provincial angling and casting bodies must first structure themselves, according to their location, into regional bodies and as such affiliate to their respective Regional Provincial Sport Councils. The management council of each region could consist out of the Provincial Chairmen of the Angling Facets active in that region. They will then vote in a regional body Chairman. 4.3 The Action Committee or whatever number of representatives from each regional Angling and Casting Body could then constitute the Management Committee of an umbrella Provincial Angling and Casting body (described in (a) above) who will then in turn become a member of the Provincial Sport Council. A Provincial Chairman would be voted in by the Committee 4.4 Before the founding of a representative provincial body, the angling and casting bodies in each province and sub regions are requested to, in their own right, to attend inaugural and other Provincial Sport Council Meetings. 4.5 Mr Herman Bester of SASAA is requested to make recommendations to SASACC on

3 Page 3 of 7 the provincial structuring of angling and casting facets as soon as the Gauteng Sports Council have been established and the regional sport council issue within Gauteng have been solved. 4.6 Aspects that need clarity when affiliating to Provincial Sports Councils are the following: The name under which provincial teams must participate The logo under which provincial teams must participate If Provincial Sports Councils must approve provincial teams The possible reduction of provincial bodies to match the number of Provincial Sport Councils and/or Provincial Regional Councils The position of individuals residing outside provincial borders Affiliation of an individual to two or more provincial bodies The position of SASACC Member bodies who refuse to affiliate to Provincial Sport Councils with regards to funding and still qualifying for Protea Colours from SASCOC APPLICATION PROCEDURE FOR NATIONAL LOTTERY SRSA GRANTS 1.

7 Page 7 of 7 LONG TERM ANGLER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME Cast for Fun represents the entry into the sport, up to and including the Learn to Cast stage. Cast to Excel represents development on a competition path as far as the angler wishes to go. Cast for Life reminds us that the angler can remain active in the sport for a lifetime, through recreational competition, as a coach, official and sport leader. INTRODUCTION The recent success over the last five years of South African anglers on the international scene, suggests that we are doing a lot of things right. However, a clearly defined Long Term Angler Development Plan will:- establish a clear and consistent development pathway for angling, guide the examination of the current system to identify strengths, weaknesses, and inconsistencies; guide coaches to plan training, competing and recovery programs that are consistent with the principles of growth and maturation, thus allowing athletes to achieve optimal performances, and encourage them to stay in the sport for life; and help South African anglers to perform better and more consistently at the elite level from year to year. The LTAD Programme divides angler development into a series of stages. Within each stage, appropriate development is essential. Only by following age-appropriate activities and building a foundation in each stage for the next, can anglers optimally prepare to progress toward their goals.
