Invitation to 2010 SASReCon

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Durban, South Africa, where the University of KwaZulu-Natal will be hosting the 2010 South African Sport and Recreation Conference (SASReCon). We are proud to host this biennial event in the Zulu Kingdom and welcome you as our guests. The event will take place from 11-13 August 2010, at the Southern Sun Elangeni Hotel situated on the Durban Beachfront. The dates have been planned to follow on the heels of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and preceding the ICPFAR conference taking place from 16-20 August 2010 in Northern KwaZulu-Natal. A number of international delegates are anticipated to attend the conference. The Durban beachfront has had a major revamp, in preparation for the FIFA World Cup. The theme for the 2010 SASReCon is "Sport, Recreation and Physical Education – An Essential Triad" and will highlight the important triangular relationship between sport science, recreation and physical education. Once again a host of leading and well-known South African and three International Keynote Speakers will be presenting cutting edge and thought provoking papers on key topics that are relevant to the South African sport, recreation and exercise landscape. We look forward to a blend of delegates comprising academics, scientists and practitioners.
As Chair of the Scientific Committee and on behalf of the Local Organizing Committee I wish all participants a productive and interesting conference as well as an exciting time spent in warm Ethekwini.
