Weekend Sports Session December UPDATE!

The first semester has turned out to be quite exciting for HKA sports.  It's hard to believe that the holiday break is just around the corner!

The last sport sessions for the 1st semester will be held this weekend, Friday, December 5 and Saturday, December 6.  Sign-up for this Saturday is now available.

We will be back in full swing in the 2nd semester starting the weekend of Friday, January 9 and Saturday, January 10.  Please keep an eye out for the month of January sign-up at the end of December.

The sport sessions for Volleyball and Basketball are in full swing as we are all busy training for the ISSFHK Basketball leagues and the ACAMIS/SCISAC Basketball/Volleyball Tournaments.

Sports sessions for soccer/football are still running as year-round training. It's always good to continue honing your skills through the off-season for better performance in-season. That works for ANY sport!

Track/Athletics are also open for sign-up!  We have a great group of parent volunteers running these sessions.  These sessions are held at the Sai Kung Shiu Kin Sports Ground.  They also customize their running sessions to help build endurance and skill.  Please sign-up to try it out and be ready for next year's Track & Field tournaments as well as the HKA Sports Day or just keep in shape!

REMINDERS: If your child is planning to attend a sport session, we ask that you PLEASE SIGN UP !  This important detail keeps this program running smoothly and it's really something that we would like everyone to respect and follow.

Why are sign-ups important?
- Keep a healthy student-to-coach ratio. These sessions are not fun and effective if there are too many students and not enough coaches OR too many coaches and not enough students.  
-Security and safety policies MUST be followed

We hope that everyone has a great holiday!

We are happy to announce that with the collaboration of great parent volunteers Track Sessions are starting in October.

The sign-up for participating in Track sessions are now available.

** Please note that the parent volunteers will meet the students in the HKA Cafeteria and head off together to the Sai Kung Tang Shiu Kin Sports Ground on Fuk Man Road.  After each session, they will be brought back to HKA for dismissal.  

In order to keep this going, we need more parent volunteers to coach or assist during these running sessions.  If you are a parent who loves to run, share the fun with the HKA students and sign-up. Here is the link to the Parent Volunteer sign up.
