Message from the President

　

The Sports Training and Rehabilitation Therapy Association of Hong Kong, with its official abbreviation, START, denotes the start of a new era in the support of sportspeople in Hong Kong.  With its primary aim of promoting and developing the science, curriculum and practice of Sports First Aid, Sports Training and Sports Rehabilitation, it was officially inaugurated in June, 2010 under the Societies Registration Ordinance of the Laws of Hong Kong.

If Hong Kong is going to be developed as a true city of sports, the gap for the care and prevention of sports injuries for sportspeople must be filled.  We hope that through our efforts, participation from our members and the invaluable advice from our advisors , we could help Hong Kong to develop on the right tract in this respect.

　

As a young organization, we need your support and comments.  Do join us or give us your comments, so that we could work together for the good of the sports society at large
