To promote the sport of fistball in a young association as quickly as possible: That should be the goal of many new fistball associations around the world. It is often not easy to compete against established sports in the country. A great deal of voluntary commitment, dedication and perseverance are required. This is also the case for the Fistball Association of Hong Kong China Ltd. The association was founded almost exactly five years ago. Chairman Cheng Tsz-man reports on the latest projects in 2023 – and looks ahead to 2024.
Hello everyone, I am Ewing from Hong Kong, China, as the chairperson of the Hong Kong Faustball Association. Our association was established on January 18, 2019. We are very thankful to Roger, Mario, and Tommy for their significant efforts in supporting our association in various ways.
Looking ahead to 2023, our primary goal is to promote this healthy sport to the public. We have been actively introducing Faustball to primary schools, secondary schools, and universities.
Primary School Championship 2023
This championship marks the first school competition of its kind in Hong Kong, China. We are delighted to welcome eleven teams from six primary schools joining the Faustball Primary School Championship (2023). We believe this event is not just about competition, but also about fostering strong friendships and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Hong Kong Shue Yan University
We extend our gratitude to the students of Hong Kong Shue Yan University for their interest in Faustball. We organized a Faustball demonstration day and a simple competition. Additionally, the Shue Yan University Faustball Championship is scheduled for April 2024.
Society Promotion
At the end of 2023, the Faustball Association organized a Multi-sports Championship. The youth team played a significant role in the planning and execution of the event, which was a great success.
Plans for 2024
I highly appreciate the involvement of the youth in the committee team, as they understand the needs of the youth and bring creative ideas to the table. Establish a new Hong Kong Faustball representative team.
Encourage youth members to design games that are beneficial for Faustball training or related activities. If you follow our Facebook page, you will notice two new events under Faustball Hong Kong, It called Muscle ball and LuLu ball, both are outdoor games. It’s fantastic that you’re considering integrating these games as part of Faustball training. Such an integration could offer a fresh dimension to Faustball training and further enrich the overall experience for the players. Expanding the scope of Faustball to include these games could attract more participants and enthusiasts, ultimately contributing to the growth and popularity of Faustball sport.
