Life Changes with Sports
Everyone knows that engaging in sporting activities have benefits: improving health; acquiring new skills and building friendships. But sports also helps with personal growth and development.
With the support of K&K Charity, the HKFYG Youth Crime Prevention Centre has launched The WIND - Football Training and The WIND - Youth Thai Boxing Programme for at-risk youths aged 10-24. These programmes aim to promote a healthy lifestyle among young people, enhance their positive thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, as well as strengthen their self-discipline and law-abiding attitudes, while also teaching them about competitiveness and the art of winning or losing gracefully.
From March 2021 to February 2022, the participants will attend a series of training classes, including team-building activities with stringent fitness tests. By the end, they will have a chance to participate in either a football competition or Thai boxing performance to show off their newly acquired skills reinforcing positivity and self-confidence. Those who choose to take up Thai boxing can continue with regular training sessions even after 'graduation'.
A special part of the programmes include volunteering in the community with elderly home visits, the Community Caring Day, and the Neighbourhood Reunion Lunches.
Let sports transform lives and let's support these efforts!
