Abstract

Sport participation, especially team sports such as Handball, can be extremely beneficial. Continuous sport growth relies on club development, and club development strengthens the club's social responsibility. Sports codes are reducing their club development programmes, and Handball is one of the sports that are hardest hit due to limited government funding and development programmes. The aim of the study is to explore the experiences of stakeholders of a Handball club in the Western Cape. An in-depth qualitative case study of a selected Handball club was conducted, with participants. These included club officials (chairperson, secretary, and treasurer), provincial federation official, and government official responsible for club development.
