STAFF UPDATES

COACH ROHIT (ROH)

We are delighted to announce that Coach Rohit has been named the Coach of the Month for June. His unwavering hard work, boundless energy in classes, and exceptional overall attitude have all contributed to this well-deserved recognition. We are grateful for Coach Rohit's invaluable contributions, which have had a positive impact on our programs and participants. Congratulations, Coach Rohit, on this fantastic achievement!

COACH MATT B

Coach Matt B (pictured above) will be travelling to South Africa for his wedding, and will return ahead of Term 1 (Aug- Dec 2024). We would like to take this opportunity to wish him and his bride-to-be, a lifetime of happiness and good fortune!

COACHES DANIEL & HARRY

In more positive news, we are delighted to share that coaches Dan and Harry (pictured above) have successfully converted their working holiday visas to full employment status for the next two years. We are thrilled to be able to continue collaborating with them both during this extended period. This development is a testament to their valuable contributions and our organisation's commitment to retaining exceptional talent.

COACH MATT

We are thrilled to share that Coach Mat, who has worked with us for several years now, has returned from the UK for the summer to strengthen our team ahead of the upcoming summer camps. The ever-popular Coach Mat will be leading these camps throughout July and August before heading back to the UK for his final year of university studies. We extend a warm welcome back to Coach Mat, even if it is just for this temporary period. We are grateful to have his expertise and enthusiasm on board as we prepare for the summer programming.

COMPANY NEWS

NO CLASSES THIS WEEKEND

Our entire team will be heading over to Lower Cheung Sha Beach tomorrow to recharge, bond, and enjoy some social time together under the midsummer sun. This team-building outing is an important opportunity for us to rejuvenate ahead of the upcoming summer camp season, which starts next week.

As a result, there will be no weekend classes this weekend, as our coaches and staff take this much-needed break. We are confident that this collective time to recharge will ensure our team is fully energised and ready to deliver an exceptional summer camp experience for our participants.

MINISPORT SINGAPORE

We are thrilled to announce that Minisport Singapore will be launching on July 3rd. We are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to reach the children of the Singapore community and begin building a generation of well-rounded, multi-sport athletes there. This new initiative represents an exciting chapter in our organisation's growth and our commitment to expanding our impact globally. We look forward to introducing the Minisport philosophy and programming to the vibrant Singaporean youth community.

Got friends over in Singapore? Direct them to www.minisport.sg to get them along for a free trial!

Do you know anyone who may want to discuss a franchise opportunity in their own country/region? We are fully set up to roll out our franchises, so get in touch here.

EURO 2024 7-A-SIDE FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT 

Today, our coaches will be participating in a 7-a-side corporate football sevens tournament, with all proceeds going to benefit the Love 21 Foundation. We wish the team, who will be representing Georgia, the very best of luck in this competition. We look forward to sharing footage of the event in the coming week!

PLAY IN THE PARK

Starting in the fall, we will be hosting bi-weekly events at parks throughout Hong Kong that will be open to all children between the ages of 3 and 7 years old. These sessions, priced at just $250/session, will follow our signature party-style coaching approach, with groups of up to 15 kids participating in exciting games designed to burn energy and engage them for the full hour. Expect tug of wars, treasure hunts, races & much more.

We encourage families to come out, bring their own food and drinks, and use this as an opportunity to socialise with other parents while our coaches take care of the children. These weekend events are a wonderful way for kids to spend quality time outdoors, use up any remaining credits, meet new families, and create lasting memories.
