Our children have shown that hard work and dedication bear fruit. Every step our athletes take on the track reflects their pride in the school and their pursuit of excellence.
But athletics is not just about medals and results. It is about growth, preparation, and supporting one another, whether it’s at a local event or on a national stage. With our staff actively involved in administration and team management, Laerskool Lydenburg shows that teamwork is not only found among the athletes, but throughout the entire school community.

Hockey
At Laerskool Lydenburg, hockey is not just a sport, it is a way for our children to express themselves, learn teamwork, and discover their full potential. Our players step onto the field each time with pride, dedication, and a passion to give their best, regardless of the circumstances.
We are proud to offer hockey as a core sport at the school and to witness how our teams grow year after year. The players are given the opportunity not only to hone their skills on the field but also to develop their self-confidence and teamwork.
Hockey at Laerskool Lydenburg is not just about competition. It is about the values it cultivates: discipline, perseverance, and respect for each other and the game. Our players carry these values with pride, not only on the field but also in their everyday lives.
Rugby
Rugby is not just a game at Laerskool Lydenburg; it is part of our heartbeat. It is the language of teamwork, strength, and pride that is deeply embedded in our school’s traditions. On the field, more than just points are scored; it is where life lessons are written, and passion fills every phase of the game.
The rugby season is a special time that unites our community; from the young boy holding his first ball to the spectators who cheer together with every hard tackle and every try. Here, children become not just players, but also leaders, teammates, and dreamers who learn to work for something bigger than themselves.
Our teams know what it means to prepare, to rise to challenges, and to push their boundaries. Rugby instills in our children an unyielding spirit, one that says, "I never give up." This sport is for us a place where we celebrate our tradition, but also look forward and grow.
Netball
Netball at Laerskool Lydenburg is a sport that gives our girls the opportunity to work together as a team and find themselves on the field. It is a sport that not only promotes technique and skill but also the value of discipline and perseverance.
On the netball court, our girls learn to support each other, encourage one another, and face every challenge as a team. We believe that the true essence of the game lies in the collaboration, strategy, and perseverance that move the team as a whole, rather than individual achievements.
At LSL, netball is the art of collaboration, the joy of participation, and the pride of community. It is where we believe every girl has a place, every effort counts, and every moment on the court is a story that will live on for years to come.
Tennis
Tennis is not just a sport; it is an opportunity to keep the ball in the air, face life with a smile, and make new friendships. At Laerskool Lydenburg, it is the perfect way to combine fun and fitness while improving your hand-eye coordination and enjoying the outdoors.
Tennis offers every player the chance to not only learn new skills but also to play together, laugh, and return the ball time and time again. We are excited to involve more girls and boys in the sport in the future, so they can experience the joyful energy and benefits of tennis with us.
Cricket
Cricket is one of the oldest sports at Laerskool Lydenburg and holds a special place in our hearts. Our focus is on providing our players with the opportunities to develop their skills and share in the excitement of the Lowveld league.
From the youngest learners starting with mini-cricket to the senior teams competing in the Lowveld league, every player is part of something greater; the pride of playing for their school and team. We look forward to further developing our cricket teams in the future.
Cricket at Laerskool Lydenburg is about more than just the game; it’s an opportunity to learn, grow, and develop a passion for the sport. As they say, "The ball is in your hands!"

For us, cross country is an opportunity to not only be competitive but also to work together, support each other as a team, and discover yourself in new ways. It is a challenging sport, but every second of running is a testament to determination and a love for the sport.
