Protea Sports Club

Protea Sports Club Protea Sports Club's aims to assist in the rehabilitation of paraplegics through the medium of sport though able-bodied members are also welcome.

The Protea Sports Club, situated on Main Road, Retreat, was founded in 1964, after a demonstration given to the mayor of Cape Town and other Civic dignitaries of the sporting achievements of a group of successful disabled athletes at the Stoke Mandeville Games and Tokyo Paralympics. The club was founded by two physiotherapists from the Princess Alice hospital to provide a venue for paraplegics to

continue taking part in sport after their discharge from hospital. The Club’s primary function was to assist in the rehabilitation of paraplegics through the medium of sport, primarily archery. Since then the club has expanded its activities to include tennis, field events for the disabled, table tennis as well as wheelchair rugby and basketball for quadriplegics, though able-bodied members are also welcome. We receive no public funding and rely on membership fees, private donations and fundraising events to maintain and run the club.

As many of you have heard, Alex Folscher died suddenly in the early hours of Sat morning. I have to say the news left me reeling and brought on a great sense of sadness.
Alex and I have shared many hours on the line together. His determination and commitment to the sport set him up as one of our top recurve archers in not only the province but the country as well. Only his shoulder injury put a stop to that. Being the man he was, and rather than step away, Alex turned his talents to coaching and helping others excel in the sport he loved. He was a man who would always put his hand up to help even before the call went out, living life with honesty and integrity.

On behalf of Western Cape Archery Federation Executive, and broader archery community, I would like to put forward my heartfelt sympathy to all those who have been blessed by being close to this extraordinary man, but especially to his family and friends.

Hi everyone. This is just a heads up that a competition was moved to this Saturday, 10 March.

We are however still planning on having the visitor session in the afternoon. There is a possibility that it will start late, but we are hopeful that everything will start on time.

Registration will still start at 12, and we'll update everyone on the day as to what's happening. Everyone is welcome to come and watch.
