Hong Kong Government announced yesterday, given the latest situation of COVID-19, some leisure venues will be reopened in phases on 4th May and 11th May. Outdoor leisure facilities to be opened on 4th May.
Those to be reopened on 11th May (Monday) are all indoor leisure facilities. They are badminton courts, squash courts, table tennis rooms/tables, the cycling track of Hong Kong Velodrome, indoor golf driving bays, indoor bowling greens, indoor jogging tracks, and indoor tennis courts.
Apart from the above facilities, other leisure facilities temporarily closed earlier, such as public swimming pools, beaches, soccer pitches, basketball courts, and children's play equipment, will continue to be closed until further notice. Please refer to the LCSD's website (www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/facilities/facilitieslist/landsports.html) for details of the facilities to be reopened.
We are still uncertain when the indoor facilities will allow basketball, but we are hoping that by summer, we will be back in the indoor gym. In the meantime, we will be conducting our programs using outdoor venues with an emphasis on small group trainingand the introduction of our 3v3 skills academy. Private training options are still available, as well.
If interested in forming or joining a small group, participating in our 3v3 skills academy, and or doing private lessons, please contact us at info@tieronebasketball.com or WhatsApp 6767-0470.

As with starting anything, starting to play basketball means there’s a learning curve. From rules to basic skills, techniques to game plays, it can all feel like information overload, especially for players playing on a court with 9 other kids! We have found many players have trouble taking the skills they have an implementing it in the game.
​
3v3 Skills Academy helps give kids opportunity to play the game with much less structure than a typical 5v5 game while learning specific skills in fun and engaging way. 3v3 Skills Academy helps to simplify the game. When the game gets underway finding the open man or an opening to drive to the basket is much easier with less bodies on the court. 3v3 also removes the need for specific positions, giving kids less technical stuff to learn while they’re still mastering basic skills and game knowledge.
​
3v3 Skills Academy help kids develop skills like defence, offense, spacing and how to move with the ball without relying solely on drills to teach them. At Tier One Basketball we believe playing the game is the best teacher!
