More about The Tiger Titans Cricket Club
Nolukhanyo Township is a rural community where unemployment, poverty, crime and Aids are very pre`valent. The youth have no extra mural or holiday activities and are left to their own devices. Many young boys were getting involved in petty crime and were idle. The Tiger Titans have addressed this issue by providing a sporting opportunity to channel their natural energy in a healthy and positive direction. Time spent training and competing has created a positive focus and a determination to improve them both individually and as a Club.
Club members have developed pride in themselves and individually. All members are valued for their performance and contribution in the Club. Through their successes, these young boys have now become role models to their peers and in the community. The Tiger Titans has provided them a home where they are challenged, tested and taught the life skills which only sport can do. They have all risen to the occasion. Every young boy bears testament that his life has been changed for the better by being a Tiger Titan and is grateful for the opportunities given them.
