The Olympic countdown: getting youth involved |
|
The Federation enthusiastically supports the activities in the Olympic countdown and 500 HKFYG youth members were at the carnival in Kowloon Park (see this week’s Feature Story). The Olympics are always an excellent platform for encouraging youth participation in sports at all levels. Young people in Hong Kong are motivated by the excitement and build-up. Let’s make the best of this opportunity to get them involved. Then they will see that an active life is a healthy life.
|
Most Hong Kong youngsters have competitive drive and sport is such an excellent outlet. It’s good for releasing stress, keeping weight down, learning about social values and civic participation. Taking part in the build-up to the Olympics, as an athlete or a volunteer, a coach or a spectator, will bring Hong Kong youth together in a new way, strengthening their sense of belonging and their pride in the city.
Join our initiatives to get youth involved. A charity tug-of-war, once an Olympic sport, is coming up in May. Contact Bonnie in Partnership 2123 9598 for details. |
