The people
behind the mission

Hoopstad sport Academy is not build by programs,
it’s build by people for people.

People who believe in the next generation, and choose to invest their time, energy and lives into it.

Our board

  • Kenneth De Heyn

    FOUNDER

    I started the academy because I believe that every young person deserves the chance to become who God created them to be.

    I hope through the academy to make a lasting change in our community and country. To give hope to the lost, to restore faith and biblical menhood

    And I want to do it together with other people who want to make a lasting change.

  • Tienie Prinsloo

    DIRECTOR

    I wanted to make a difference in people’s life and serving as HSA director is one of the best spots to be to do so.
    What attracted me to HSA was Kenneth’s energy, perseverance and passion for the Kingdom and for serving the community.

  • Henriette Campher

    DIRECTOR

    It is such an honour to be part of Hoopstad Sport Academy who serves as the body of Christ and build His kingdom in obedience to listen where the team, the coaches and leaders can be supported.

    My faith is enhanced when I drop off a former player of the team at a bus stop to leave for a city he has never been to, determined to reach his future career goal on the values he learned from HSA.

    Hoopstad Sport Academy is more than soccer. It is an affirmation of a King ruling from His throne with love and care for all His children with the result that they choose to be different, they choose to form part of the body to build His everlasting kingdom.

  • Elsabe Du Plessis

    BOARD MEMBER

    From the start I experienced Kenneth’s vision for HSA through the help of the Holy Spirit. I have seen through the years how the Lord has blessed and help make this vision become a reality.
    I believed in this vision from the start and even more now. I give glory to God to see how the community and others have seen, believed and supported the vision for HSA.
