“Henderson Sports” Campus Programme to Bring Sports Courses to 30 Schools Across Hong Kong

As Hong Kong’s sporting momentum builds around the 15th National Games, Henderson Land continues to use sports as ways to strengthen community connection. Through our “Henderson Sports” Campus Programme, delivered in partnership with Youth We Go, we bring structured sports education directly to students with limited access to professional training and diverse activities.

The programme covered 30 primary and secondary schools, engaging over 600 underprivileged students. Instead of focusing on a single discipline, we featured workshops in rugby sevens, fencing, beach volleyball and handball - 4 Hong Kong National Games sports, alongside other emerging sports, so students could discover what resonates with them. This supports students’ physical well-being while helping to build their confidence, teamwork and resilience through shared practice and progression.

To create a more inspiring experience, we also invited elite athletes to coach students on the ground. Salom Yiu Kam-shing, a two-time Asian Games medallist and Hong Kong rugby sevens representative, served as coach and personally taught over a hundred of students the fundamentals and rules of rugby sevens. He also shared his own sports journey, using real examples to show how discipline and perseverance have helped him overcome setbacks and keep moving towards his goals.

By linking school-based coaching with citywide engagement, the “Henderson Sports” Campus Programme transforms sport into a continuous journey, reinforcing Henderson Land’s commitment to youth empowerment, social inclusion and a more active, connected society
