HKAAA 2024 Registrations
Registering under AVOHK is well under way - we have had a couple of great HKAAA already this year. Make sure that you registered so that you don't miss out on entries to track and X country meets! Contact Henry if you haven't registered and want to get involved!
Stronger Every Day!
Parachutes has become one of the youth athletes favourite sessions. Building a little more power every time we use them!
Injury Prevention Programmes
As part of warm up and core for many of our athletes we routinely incorporate exercises that will benefit everyone during their most important developmental stages.
Putting Bike Skills Into Action
Awesome to see our Youth athletes putting the skills that they learn in our Bike Skills sessions into action during our weekend Disney Brick (Bike + Run) sessions.
Showing Coach How To Run
On the rare occasion the 26 athletes get the chance to go up against coach - he gets taught a lesson in age and the importance of keeping fit every time!
Cycling World Cup - Velodrome
In Hong Kong we're lucky to get world class sporting events on a regular basis. Make sure you keep an eye out and watch when you can. Youth athletes seeing professionals compete against one another can be so inspiring.

Adult Programme
Our adult programme is fully up and running. Whether you're looking to get fit or you're seasoned athlete - get involved by contacting us. 10% discount for parents of 26 Youth athletes. Adult programme.
Pros Of Having A Chef On The Team!
One of the best things about having a chef in the adult programme is knowing that you can dive into a great breakfast straight after diving into a hard swim session! Thanks Micheal Smith - Check out Moxie for a great breakfast.
Motivational Video - Rise & Grind
An Oldie but a Goldie. One of the unavoidable realities for our Youth and Adult athletes is training in the early AM or late PM before or after school or work. Long days and hard sessions can make for a tough combination. In the end when the results come it's all worth it.

Get Back To Two Bottles Early!
Let's get into the habit of bringing two bottles to track sessions again, before the temp gets up to the point where we need to. One water, one electrolyte based drink for teenagers and above. Pure water is enough for the younger athletes.
Spot The Sticker
26 Stickers have been appearing around HK. If you see one snap a pic and send it to us. We might be having a small competition coming soon.
