The “Jockey Club Youth Football Development Programme – Summer Scheme 2024” is organised by The Football Association of Hong Kong, China (HKFA), funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust as its Major Partner, and subvented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD). This large-scale youth football development programme welcomes the participation of children and teenagers from all over Hong Kong every summer. It aims to cultivate their interest in the sport and nurture their talents through the teaching of basic football knowledge and providing practical experience.
The programme will provide football training in July and August for about 10,000 local youngsters aged 3 to 16, including four practical training sessions and two days of mini-competitions, to learn and practice their footballing skills. Moreover, the HKFA will continue to offer its parent-and-child course, which was highly popular last year, by providing four practical classes for children aged 3 to 7 and their parents. For the programme’s goalkeeping course, four practical classes will be provided for students aged 10 to 15. In addition this year there will be a new siblings course, where siblings aged 4 to 12 can participate together in four practical classes and two days of mini competitions.
HKFA Technical Director Mr. John Morling said: “The Summer Scheme, generously funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club, stands as a pivotal initiative in the realm of local football development. It has consistently garnered immense popularity among children and parents, making it one of the most sought-after summer activities. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to The Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department for their unwavering support. Our utmost desire is for the participating children to enjoy a fulfilling summer holiday, enriched with valuable football knowledge and experiences gained through the meticulously crafted classes and exhilarating matches.”
The Summer Scheme will run from mid-July to the end of August. The enrolment period will start at 11am on June 3 and close at 11.59pm on June 23.
