IOC EXTENDS RECOGNITION OF KORFBALL
Wednesday, 30 April 2008 The International Olympic Committee has informed the International Korfball Federation that it has extended the recognition of the International Korfball Federation. No further details were mentioned in the letter; the IKF will be informed of further details of the decision in early June in a bilateral meeting with IOC Sports Department representatives. The IKF and many of its national member associations have worked hard over the past four years to meet the 50-country minimum limit that the IOC had requested to all recognized sports some years ago. To be rewarded with extension of recognition is therefore an appreciation of the IOC for this effort. IKF President Jan Fransoo: "We are of course very happy with this news and this will assist us in our further growth path. We still have many challenges ahead, including the development of competition options for many of the new members that have joined us in the past decade." From: IKF Website

CAPACITY BUILDING The SAKF has committed itself towards transformation and in this regard has included, into the development programs of the Federation as a special project, “Capacity Building”. On of the ways in which we would like to contribute in this regard is by means of administrative training of our people. With the Commonwealth and Friends Championships now coming up, the SAKF would like to make use of this opportunity to train potential managers in event management. Other similar opportunities later in the year also exist. The SAKF herewith calls for volunteers to become part of this program. See this request in conjunction with the call for public relation officers in the previous newsletter. Interested persons can contact Chris The˙se through the normal channels for more information. Target date for show of interest is 30 March, 2008.
OLYMPIC YOUTH CAMP The following extract comes from a letter received from the South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee. "August 8, 2008 will mark the beginning of the XXIV Olympic Games and the world will gather in Beijing to celebrate this monumental event. This year’s Olympic Youth Camp will offer an intercultural experience to youth from all over the world. The 2008 Olympic Youth Camp will not only provide an opportunity for 16 – 18 year olds to experience the spirit of the Olympic Games first hand, but also to expand their knowledge and appreciation for the world’s diverse cultures while sharing and rejoicing in their own experiences. The 2008 Beijing Organizing Committee (BOCOG) has allocated every National Olympic Committee two sports, one male and one female, to attend the 2008 Olympic Youth Camp. All expenses for the delegates including registration, flights, transportation within Beijing, accommodation and meals during the Olympic Youth Camp will be fully covered by BOCOG, SASCOC and the International Olympic Committee. Participants from all over the world will join together at the 2008 Olympic Youth Camp to enjoy activities that are design to educate, inspire and entertain. A series of forums, workshops, sightseeing and excursions will be part of the adventure. Selection Criteria Participants must:-
The SAKF Executive herewith request submissions from interested persons by 30 March, 2008. Thereafter the SAKF Executive will decide on the successful submission and submit this submission to SASCOC by the target date. The successful applicant will be notified by the SAKF Executive by 10 April, 2008.
COMMONWEALTH AND FRIENDS CHAMPIONSHIPS The Commonwealth and Friends Championships will be held over the same period as the SA Tournament (30 June to 5 July, 2008).
