At the heart of Faure Stadium, the DSV Shift Academy stands as a beacon of hope for youth from previously disadvantaged communities. Here, young people are given the chance to not only dream but to live those dreams—surrounded by guidance, support, and a safe environment that nurtures their potential.

Founded by Malcolm Lange, a former professional cyclist, the DSV Shift Academy is driven by a clear vision: to uplift the community by creating a space where youth aged 12-18 can thrive. More than just a sports facility, the Academy is a lifeline, offering children the opportunity to train, improve their fitness, and receive mentorship from highly skilled coaches. Beyond athletics, it’s a sanctuary where students can study, complete their homework, and grow in a structured, positive space.

This program isn’t just about sports—it’s about building confidence, fostering connection, and opening doors. DSV Shift Academy believes in empowering young people to develop their talents and build a brighter future. In a world that often overlooks youth potential, we stand firm in our commitment to nurture it.

Our mission wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of our valued partners like DSV, Drakenstein Municipality, and contributions from the private sector. Together, we are transforming lives, one young athlete at a time.

Malcolm Lange and his team are dedicated to ensuring that this program is a life-changing opportunity for every child who walks through our doors. Through sport, we are uniting communities, developing future leaders, and giving hope to the next generation.
