There are no changes to the league structures for the 2025 season.
PROPOSALS FOR 2026 and 2027
1. Reduce the Noordvaal Cup Premier League from 10 to 9 to 8 schools over two seasons starting in 2026.
2. Increase the Bowl League to 12 schools split into two groups starting in 2026.
3. In line with their objective to grow the game of rugby, more points rewards for schools that field more teams.
Unfortunately the vicious circle is that more teams normally translates to higher travel costs. Higher costs is a constraint the NVSRV chairman mentions as part of the restructuring brief.

Ok,dankie vir die insight.Soos al baie hier gese is ek bly dat dinge by Kloof noord beweeg en mens kan dit op alle vlakke sien nie net rugby nie.Indien die hoof ‘geclear’ word moet daar gevolge wees vir die wat bewerings gemaak het en dit nie kon staaf nie.Plain en simple.Sterkte daar.

Ek is n ouer van 2 seuns in Waterkloof. Die ouditorium was glad nie gebou as n kerk nie. Ons skool saal is al jare te klein om al die leerders te akkommodeer. Ons het n vergadering gehad verlede jaar in Augustus waartydens al die ouers ingelig is oor die beplande bou van die ouditorium. Daar is ook kans gegun om vrae te vra. Daarna het die ouers gestem, die meerderheid ouers het ja gestem vir die bou van die ouditorium. Die geskatte koste vir die bou van die ouditorium is ook bekend gemaak. Die voorlegging is daarna aan die departement voorgelê en deur die departement goedgekeur. Die ouditorium sal ook dien as n binne-huis sport lokaal, waar aksie-netbal ens gespeel kan word. Kultuuroptredes sal ook binne die ouditorium gehou word, die akoestiek gaan fantasties wees, hoor ons. Die kerk van ds Retief Burger huur al jare lank ons skoolsaal sondae oggende, soos die geval is met baie ander skole en kerke. Die media het die storie heeltemal aan die verkeerde kant beet.
Met betrekking tot die ander belaglike bewerings, sal ek volstaan met dat die oorgrote meerderheid van die leerders, ouers en onderwysers nie n woord glo van die bewerings nie, dit is of heeltemal uit konteks of blatante leuens deur n baie klein groepie ouers en kinders.
My seuns is bitter gelukkig in Kloof, ons hoof is amazing en ek hoop dat ons in die toekoms oor Kloof rugby kan praat.
Heksejag….. jaloesie …. ouer aspirasies – onthou koerante en tydskrifte staan op laaste bene en sal enige iets doen vir sensasie om verkope op te jaag.

Weird stuff/claims indeed.I was under the impression it’s a new school hall they’re building. Auditorium for outside church on school grounds at a cost of 45 Bar??

These comments are all tops. Thank you for sharing
@Kantman (Comment #10)
Ek stem 100% met jou saam, maar tov jou punt 4, dit geld ook op die platteland waar daar meer as een skool is.
Ek het my beurt op die BH gehad – jy dien 3 groepe – die kind, die ouergemeenskap en tot ‘n mate die personeel, maar die kind is die belangrikste. Soms, maar meestal, moet jy hare op jou tande hê.
Ek het genoeg vyande gemaak, maar ek slaap met ‘n rein gewete!
@tzavosky (Comment #9)
My 2 sente vir wat dit werd is.
1. Geen skool verdien hierdie tipe publisiteit nie, en geen hoof is belangriker as die skool nie. Die Media en Departement is nie jou vriend as iets gebeur nie. Beide dien hulle eie belange.
2. Die belanrikste verkiesing is die een in jou gemeenskap – maak seker jy kies mense op die BH wat langtermyn doelwitte nastreef.
3. Skool doelwitte en waardes moet eenvoudig wees – as iemand buite dit beweeg moet enige iemand dit dadelik kan optel.
4. In die stad is een skool se uitdagings ‘n ander skool se geleenthede.

Ja, regstegnies is iemand onskuldig totdat hy skuldig bevind word, maar soos ‘n Namibiese vriend van my altyd sê, “as die bloed en pensmis deurmekaar geloop het, kan jy dit nie weer skei nie.”
‘n Baie goeie vriend van my is ‘n afgetrede skoolhoof wat tugsake namens die SAOU doen – sy antwoord op my vraag oor reputasie skade:
“Dit sal baie moeilik vir hom wees om na so ‘n atmosfeer en personeel terug te keer. As die omstandighede so is dat hy nie na die skool kan terugkeer nie, is die Dept verplig om hom in ‘n soortgelyke of laer pos by ‘n ander skool te plaas, of by die kring- of distrikskantoor, met behoud van salaris en ander voordele.”

Sien nou weer op ander site daars n groep ouers wat se dis n heksejagtery.Kom ons wag maar.Wat ook al die uitslag dit gaan merke los….
@Grizzly (Comment #6)
Kry my kontakbesonderhede by Beet, dan sê ek jou. Anders moet jy Huisgenoot koop!
@tzavosky (Comment #5)
Wat is die aantuigings exactly?
@Grizzly (Comment #4)
Well, it’s obviously big news in Tzaneen where he was headmaster at Ben Vorster before. He’s been expelled for 90 days by Dept of Education, depending on the outcome of an investigation into the allegations against him.
I can imagine that the reputational damage done will be severe no matter what the findings are.
@Beet@Bloulouw What’s happening at Kloof with the principal?Beet you have more info on the subject?If not I must do something I never done before and that’s byuing the Huisgenoot….😳

That is unfortunately not possible… Ideal, but impossible…
@agter_die_pale_pa (Comment #1)
I agree with you, but for me a more important priority should be to finish the competition before the SA Schools players are not able to play for their schools any more. The finals must be played end July.
Some immediate thoughts on the proposals:
– Happy to see number of teams and RR-matches reduced, already too much rugby for the boys.
– I get where they going with increasing the number of teams which earns points, in order to grow the game. I do however fear that it could make it extremely difficult for smaller schools/rugby programs to be promoted through the leagues. It is already challenging, even for bigger co-eds, to field competitive C teams week in and week out. It would be interesting to know how many schools currently in the NV-leagues (all of them co-eds) will be able to add a D-team to the fixtures. This will be a massive disadvantage, in terms of promotion/relegation, for smaller/rural schools with smaller intakes.
