I have been having a slight love affair with musicals lately. “Never Enough” from the Greatest Showman, All of Queen from Bohemian Rhapsody and “Always Remember Us This Way” from A Start Is Born.
But the song and performance that takes the cake is the rehearsal for ‘This Is Me” by Keala Settle from The Greatest Showman. It is pointless trying to explain, watch the video and you will understand.
The Cape Town 10s tournament has grown from a raucous beer infused rugby fest into an epic multi sport festival celebration where lots of beer is drunk. The new format of the 10s tournament invites teams from around South Africa to come and enjoy a team sporting weekend in Cape Town that promotes fantastic team spirit, dressing up, mingling with different sports and celebrating each other in the beer tent and on the dance floor.

The 10s tournament now features rugby, field hockey, netball, dodgeball, crossfire and volleyball. Teams of guys and girls dressed up in their colorful team uniforms wonder the fields having fun and celebrating the sports they love.
This years festival hosted a fantastic volleyball tournament on two man made beach volleyball courts at the Hamilton Rugby Club in Green Point in Cape Town. There were three categories, 5 a-side, 2 a-side pros and 2 a-side social with both a male and a female tournament held in the 2 a-side tournaments and the 5 a-side tournament was a mixed competition.
The social tournament was so popular that some of the game had to be held on Clifton 4th beach in order to get through all the games in the two day time period.
Watch the highlights video to enjoy some of the action.
Pass. Set. Spike! There is nothing like a good game of volleyball on the beach with friends as the sun goes down. Cape Town has an epic volleyball community who are passionate about playing, and may just be a little distracted from work judging by the frequent games being played during summer.
From the end of November the Saturday tournaments start either on Clifton or Camps Bay and run all morning through to the beginning of March.
Check out this little video I shot of one of the tournaments on Clifton.
The best way to join in is to head down to Beach Bums volleyball and get in touch with Jerome, either through the website or the Facebook page.
Hopefully see you on the beach soon.
