Parent Ambassador Programme

The SportsHour Family Scheme aims to empower parents and caregivers to embrace more active lifestyles alongside their children. Recognising the critical influence families have on shaping healthy habits, the scheme promotes simple, practical ways for households to integrate regular physical activity into daily routines.

Five Parent Ambassadors were invited through open recruitment to share their unique journeys in fostering wellness at home. Their stories, featured in a series of Family Story Videos, launched across digital platforms in 2025.

The scheme also provides the following resources to support families: Youth Well-Being Calculator and Workout Playlist. Youth Well-Being Calculator is the calculator which is co-designed with the HKU research team, allows parents to gain a preliminary understanding of their children’s well-being by inputting simple information about their children. Workout Playlist is designed for families with different sporting habits and levels.

We all know the “why” to exercise.
We are just struggling with the “how”.

Meet our parent ambassador and learn how to fit in exercise in your "superhuman" parents schedule!

Parents' Positive Attitude Matters More Than Room to Move
MS LIU
Housewife
"Even though our family living space and conditions are limited, and I’m not an athletic person, this doesn’t stop me from fostering a love for sports in my two children from a young age. I believe that space doesn't restrict a child's interests and habits; the parent's attitude is what matters most."

Cultivating children's self-discipline and independent exercise habits in daily life
Wing
School laboratory technician
"Many parents love taking their children on trips, and I believe hiking can be considered a wonderful short journey. It replaces flights with walking, enabling us to explore new environments and appreciate cityscapes. This experience fosters children's enthusiasm for adventure and encourages them to be more active."

THE IMPACT OF ROLE MODELING AND REVERSE MODELING
Ray Chau
Designer
"Parents sometimes feel the need to teach children everything, assuming they know little. However, I believe children dislike feeling underestimated. Through learning sports with my daughter, I’ve become more open-minded, allowing me to reevaluate my biases and respect her opinions more."
