A calendar of competitive sports activities for 2009 was drafted by both
SRSA and Department of Basic Education and distributed to all schools.
There is no tool in place to calculate the exact number of schools that
participate in any of the 16 codes that are offered at a competitive level.
In June, SRSA conducted a telephonic survey of the education Districts in
the country. All the Districts that were contacted indicated that all the
schools in their Districts participated in organized activity at either
circuit or District level in at least one code.
