We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. So students should be advised to signup(報名) as soon as possible. Students will take a bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. Each student will have to pay $10 each time. There will be four basketball courts for our use with one teacher watching over each game.

Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent thirst. Three activities, skipping, jogging, outdoor aerobics will be arranged, all of which are free. And there will be a teacher for each of the activities.
