BOPSSA spokesperson, Edward Moreti, said the organisation was born after the realisation that primary school sport lacked proper body to run it. At the moment BOPSSA do not have structures and will work with the Botswana Teachers' Union (BTU). Moreti said that currently they only run four sports codes -athletics, volleyball, netball and football. He explained that more codes would be included as the organisation grows. He said their mandate is not only to run primary school sports regionally but to have national competitions.
Moreti hailed the birth of BOPSSA and said it would improve the running of sports at primary school level. The BOPSSA executive committee comprise Ofilwe Fane (president), Justice Kgabeng (vice-president), Mogametsi Kowa (secretary), Bontle Chigala (vice secretary), Godfrey Chezuba (treasurer) and Moreti as the publicity secretary. Terror Mokwena, Mogakolodi Bagwasi and Kefentse Tirelo are additional members. The officials will serve three-year terms.
