Lauren Duncan, JVW project director, revealed that Randburg FC is part of a partner programme at JVW FC, which was launched in 2018.<\/p>\n
Randburg FC is guided by Banyana Banyana goalkeeping duo Andile Dlamini and Kaylin Swart who share their experience and uphold the JVW coaching style and philosophy.<\/p>
Duncan added Swart holds the position of goalkeeper coach and assistant coach to head coach Andile Dlamini.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a direct feeder into the elite women\u2019s club, players have the same opportunities as those at JVW to advance to higher levels.<\/p>\n \u201cKeeping in line with JVW\u2019s aim, female coaches are appointed for all teams under the JVW banner,\u201d said Duncan.<\/p>\n Swart reached heights in football due to the support of her parents, Elroy and Lee-ann, who were determined to support their daughter\u2019s passion and dreams.<\/p>\n \u201cThe first time I saw Kaylin play football was for an under-9 boys\u2019 team, Glenville Celtic.<\/p>\n \u201cAt first glance, I could tell that she had great skills, she showed potential and met the competitive stature of the boys in the team.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom a young age, she was eager to play and when I was not available to transport her, she would eagerly walk to the fields,\u201d said Elroy.<\/p>\n Kaylin\u2019s parents were worried about her playing in a male-dominated sport and possibly getting injured when she was young.<\/p>\n \u201cWe were always worried about injuries because boys are much tougher compared to girls.<\/p>\n \u201cKaylin has had a couple of serious injuries and we were always fearful that she wouldn\u2019t recover from them.<\/p>\n \u201cThough injury prone, Kaylin was able to push through and endure the challenges that came with playing football.<\/p>\n \u201cMore so, because of the support her parents gave her she persevered and displayed her tenacity to overcome the curveballs life dealt her,\u201d said Elroy.<\/p>\n Kaylin\u2019s first competitive football experience with girls was when she joined the Sasol League in 2009, playing for the Springs Home Sweepers team.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ALSO READ:<\/span><\/p>\n Bantwana on to next round in World Cup 2020 qualifiers<\/a><\/p>\n Tebbutt\u2019s love for his sport and students<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The league exposed her to women\u2019s football and its opportunities.<\/p>\n \u201cTen years ago, there weren\u2019t many opportunities for women footballers in South Africa, but thanks to the Sasol League, she was scouted.<\/p>\n \u201cShe received a bursary which would enable her to play oversees and we were very proud of her. Even though the opportunities were great for her career, I always wished I could be with her.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was very hard for me when she had to leave the country because I wanted to support and guide my daughter,\u201d said Lee-ann.<\/p>\n Kaylin represented South Africa at the u-17 World Cup in 2010 and Banyana Banyana\u2019s first World Cup in 2019.<\/p>\n Kaylin\u2019s mother admits supporting a daughter who plays football was challenging; however, looking at her journey and all that she has achieved makes it worth it.<\/p>\n Adding to the importance of supporting girls in football, Elroy encouraged girls to continue playing football and challenge the norms.<\/p>\n \u201cFind a Sasol League team in your community and start working on your skills.<\/p>\n \u201cIf Banyana Banyana can participate at a World Cup then our future is bright.<\/p>\n \u201cI would also like to encourage parents, especially in rural areas, to learn more about the sport and get behind their daughters because they all need our support,\u201d said Elroy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hav<\/strong>e a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact the newsroom by emailing: Melissa Hart (Editor)\u00a0<\/span>germistoncitynews@caxton.co.za,<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>Leigh Hodgson (News Editor)\u00a0<\/span>leighh@caxton.co.za\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>or Busi Vilakazi (Journalist)\u00a0busiv@caxton.co.za.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Also follow us on:<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2020\/04\/1_41435-1-520x390.jpg\")
