Onside Overview

The power of sport

"Sport has the power to

change the world. It has

the power to unite in a way

that little else does. It

speaks to youth in a

language they understand.

Sport can create hope

where once there was only

despair. It is more powerful

than governments in

breaking down racial

barriers. It laughs in the

face of all types of

discrimination.“

Nelson Mandela
