Much More Than Sport H
KFYG is as keen as ever to bring out the best in young people, despite the pandemic and there has been much creative spirit behind new initiatives to get youngsters up, out and active. Two current events paint the picture.
Build Up your Sports Mileage
Let's Sportsor with Hang Lung Properties
Let's Sportsor with Hang Lung Properties Sports Mileage gets everyone on their feet and for all of the month of April this year anyone aged six upwards can take part in this special effort to build up miles and reduce stress. Funded by HKFYG Jockey Club Youth Sports Development Project, the challenge is to register every hour of sports involvement and build up a Sports Mileage record. Every 50 hours of sport counts for 1,000 points and every 1,000 points will give a deprived youngster a free four-hour sports class.
9-minute run online challenge: 1-30 April 2021 During the pandemic, free Sports Mileage classes were given online classes so that children could take a break from studying and discover the joy of sport and exercise. Now, to build participation, HKFYG’s Community Team Sports unit is launching a free 9-minute run online challenge both for them and for anyone who wats to take part. You can run anytime, anywhere to fulfill the 9-minute challenge. You might also win a prize!
“Let’s Sportsor” brings together over 90 members of staff from Hang Lung Properties to get up and complete 1,000 hours of exercise. All their efforts are now being converted into sponsored sports classes.
Roller skating, gymnastics, soccer, table tennis or rope skipping all on offer Target Over 100 children from deprived groups Benefits Each child gets six free sessions including nine hours of training Location Communities in various districts Training Ongoing until May 2021 Events Continues until July 2021
