Welcome to Student Sport
At the University of Pretoria, Student Sport is more than just physical activity. It is a cornerstone of student life, fostering camaraderie, leadership, and excellence.
Introducing the Student Sport Committee
The Student Sport Committee (SSC) is a committee under the Department of Student Affairs, a subcommittee of the Student Representative Council (SRC), entrusted with the responsibility of advancing a vibrant sporting culture that benefits the entire student body. As outlined in its constitution, the SSC is dedicated to promoting the values of inclusion, participation, and excellence in sport while acting as a bridge between students, the university, and external sporting organisations.
Who We Are
The SSC consists of 12 Executive Committee members, each assigned a specific portfolio to ensure the effective execution of its mandate. These roles include:
Chairperson
Vice Chairperson
SRC Ex-Officio
Treasurer
Secretary and Transformation
Campus League
Marketing, Media and Communications
Tournaments
Students with Disabilities and Projects
GC Representative
Varsity Sports
TuksSport Representative and Co-Head of Campus League
Assisting the Executive Committee are the General Committee (GC) members, a dynamic group chosen by the GC Representative in consultation with the Chairperson. These members form an integral part of the team, aiding the Executive Committee in implementing initiatives, organising events, and fulfilling the committee’s objectives. Together, the EC and GC members ensure the SSC delivers on its mission of representing student interests in sports and fostering a culture of active and meaningful participation.
Our Role in Student Life
The SSC plays a transformative role in shaping the sports culture at the University of Pretoria. Beyond organising and coordinating sporting events, the committee advocates for student interests, collaborates with key stakeholders, and drives initiatives that align with the university’s vision. By doing so, the SSC empowers students to explore their potential, build lasting connections, and experience the profound impact of sport on their academic journey.
