Ready to Spike?
Volleyball is becoming more and more popular among young people and now, the game is spiking to new heights as Hong Kong's finest school teams take to the court, fuelled by a new wave of competitive enthusiasm sparked by the pioneering HKFYG Premier Cup.
The HKFYG Premier Cup is an unprecedented and elite volleyball tournament for secondary school boys. The purpose is not just to promote the sport and all the values that come from playing together in a team. More importantly, the Cup hopes to provide a platform for players to harness their talents and to advocate for community resources, inspiring upcoming players by bringing professional volleyball training to local primary schools.
We believe that this "trickle down" enthusiasm and passion will encourage growing participation that further develops youth volleyball across the city.
This Premier Cup would not be possible without the partnership of various corporates and organisations which offer different professional sports experiences to players. These include professional sports analytics, physiotherapy, gears and such. This inculcates a sports culture while promoting good health in the community, for which we are immensely grateful.
The Finals will be held in August, during which time 8 teams will participate, resulting in a champion being crowned.
It's not too late to become a sponsor and support this tournament, as you cheer on these very talented young people to victory!
