Already a number of changes have been mooted, namely to put the SA School National Championships in the first weekend of the school holidays in order to assist learners attend. Also all the National Team Trials shall be held on the same weekend. Another change is that is mooted is that the Free State Provincial Championships will be moved to the first weekend in August.
