| Hong Kong Paralympic Committee & Sports Association for the Physically
Disabled (HKPC&SAPD) is so enthusiastic to promote sports activities in
local special school. On one hand, this can encourage students to
participate in sports and enjoy the benefits brought from sports. On the
other hand, HKPC&SAPD can identify and nurture talents in different sports,
to provide them a pathway to improve their skills and abilities. Before
the Hong Kong Annual Athletics Championships for the Disabled in 2007, HKPC&SAPD
sent coaches to special schools to provide structured athletics training to
students. The students were not only improving their skills in athletics,
they also had a taste on proper athletics trainings and demanded for more.
From that onwards, schools are working hand in hand with HKPC&SAPD actively
to promote different sports activities at school. Nowadays, HKPC&SAPD has
provided 4 sports and a total of 19 training sessions for 8 special schools
in Hong Kong. |
