ABOUT US
Who is Vlok?
He grew up in the small Karoo town of Carnarvon, which is located in the Northern Cape Province. He participated in all sorts of sports at school, but rugby was always his great love. In primary school, Vlok played for the Craven Week team for North West Cape Province for 2 years and for the High Schools Craven Week team for 3 years.
Vlok was selected each time as a fly-half where he developed my skills as a kicker.
As a Coach
After his rugby playing days, he began my coaching career alongside Pote Human at the Bloemfontein Rugby Club. In their first year, they won the City Cup. Afterwards, Vlok and Pote coached at Shimlas where they achieved further success and won the City Cup again.
