We’re excited to present the carefully compiled list of the top girls’ sports schools for 2024!
This ranking draws from first-team standings in three core sports codes we currently evaluate: Netball, Hockey, and Water Polo. Each sport has been weighted to fairly reflect its significance in school sports, offering a balanced snapshot of performance.
Weighting Approach:
- 1.5 Weighting for Hockey and Netball: Recognizing Hockey and Netball as widely popular and accessible sports, these rankings are weighted at 1.5 to reflect their prominence and reach within school sports.
- Standard Weight for Water Polo: Water Polo rankings retain their standard weight, as not all schools offer this sport, and it remains less prevalent.
With these weightings, we’ve identified 200 schools that stand out for their exceptional achievements in girls’ sports. While we limited our focus to these three sports for ranking purposes, we acknowledge the significant roles that other popular sports, like Athletics, Tennis, and Rowing, play. The absence of standardized metrics for these sports prevented us from including them here, though their impact is undeniable.
Our aim is to provide a thoughtful, fair assessment to recognize school achievements. This ranking doesn’t encompass every aspect of a school’s athletic strength—elements like facilities, provincial representation, and individual coaching programs, while invaluable, fall outside this particular evaluation.
We hope this list highlights the dedication schools have toward developing young athletes and fosters pride among students, coaches, and communities alike.
Congratulations to all schools featured, and thank you for your remarkable commitment to girls’ sports! We look forward to seeing continued growth, passion, and excellence across South Africa’s school sports landscape.
