The Proteas men’s High Performance squad of 32 will assemble for a culture camp in Skukuza from 18-22 August 2020.

Topics that will be workshopped by the players and team management include;

• The team’s identity
• The team environment
• Team performance

“It was very important for us during the break that the COVID-19 pandemic has created to get the guys to reconnect while our FTP (Future Tours Programme) was getting sorted out,” said team manager, Khomotso Volvo Masubelele.

“We felt that it was important for the guys to come together to engage on some of the critical issues surrounding the team or elements that need attention.

“What we are going to be focussing on is matters around team identity, team environment, the performance measures and models that we want to put in place for the season to come. We want to leave with a blueprint that the players will be able to own and understand, something that will resonate with them.”
