The participants will benefit from the physical education and competitive sports playing. The inclusion of sporting to the after study program is accelerating the growth of after school study groups thus turning out to be a good model towards the enhancement of scholarship and industriousness. The positive results of sports will yield include health, self esteem, confidence, discipline, planning and execution, leadership. In the inner cities of South Africa, children from low income neighborhoods have limited access to physical education, afterschool study and sport. Lack of exercise and which is caused by lack of exercise and in some instances within the inner city lack of security. We aim to establish community safety and security as a cross sectoral through the community policing forums to keep the children safe and keen to carry on with their extra curricular activities. Through education and sports we support a number of national and international development objectives. Aims & Objectives The combination of sport and education is aimed at improving the following:
Expected Outcomes A project that we replicate across many urban areas that are in need of social and economic renewal as an underlying part of the urban renewal process. The primary health care improvement for children in urban areas and recreational relief through physical education and sport. A general improvement to the academic system for it to grow pool and capacity through improved attendance, pass rate and professional development. Down stream benefits include reduced damage to municipal facilities and infrastructure as of less loitering and street corner gatherings, detracting youngsters from pursing criminal behavior. We are recruiting more boys and girls (6 – 14 years) to establish Sunnyside Kids Soccer League and planning to hold a tournament by September. Currently we are soliciting for donations and funds for uniforms and tournament prizes. Volunteers (referees, coaches, first aiders, etc.) are all welcome!

Rainbow Sun Sports Study League is a part of ADF's after school program. We run the program every Saturday from 9:45AM – 12AM at George Brink Sports Club in Sunnyside. The program started in early May and now has more than 10 registered children who live in Sunnyside. Currently Rainbow Sun’s activity is PE (Physical Education) and Soccer. 
The Rainbow Sun SSL is a community league set to benefit the children within the inner city who normally have less means to participate in sports at school and access to enough space to play. The frontline facilitators for the program will include university students, coaches, guidance councilors, teachers amongst others from within and nearby communities. Participants are drawn from the various blocks of flats, to make up two to three teams for the square (example of square in the block “Unit” 700 is blocks of flats contained within eg. Jorrissen to Vos to De kock to Plein and back to Jorrissen). Sector Playoffs are a contest amongst the various blocks that make up the sector. The winning participants will be award with accolades mustered and presented by the RI in collaboration with stakeholders.
