A new beginning


Hello Handballers and Supporters!

After a turbulent start into the 2012/2013 season we have now gained our first points and have returned to the winning street. The first games have clearly shown us that even the underdog teams in 1st League know how to play good handball and manage to challenge us during 60minutes! "Challenge accepted", that's why we are here, we want to play exciting matches and have fun while we pick-up the 3pointers. Let's continue this way… We have already announced that there will be a few changes for the 2012/2013 season and we here want to share more details with you:

NAME CHANGE:
Our club played the first 4 handball seasons under the name "Akita" which is a Hong Kong sport brand. With the start of the new season we have found ourselves a more suitable name and that is "HK-Giants". The complete name for administrative purposes is "Hong Kong Giants Handball Club". We are grateful for the support that the Akita brand has given us over the past years and we are looking forward to continue working together also in future.

MEMBERSHIP 2012/2013:
There are many expenses connected with running the club and the actual handball season. We rely for funding solely on membership fees and sponsors. The major expenses for the club are paying the seasonal administration fees and the training grounds. Further and for the first time in our history we are organizing our own match jerseys and social wear to formally represent our club and sponsors. We have the following two membership options for this season:

- Active Member = HKD 800
For players. The fee pays for your player license, insurance (training & matches), Giants merchandize kit (match jersey/shorts, club polo short, training bag) and gives you discount at our Bar sponsor TheDogHouse. All member types can join the HK Giants training sessions free of charge.

- Social Member = HKD 300
For supporters. The fee makes you a recognized Member of the HK Giants and you will receive the Club Polo Shirt. You will also be kept updated about season progress and any other club related news and events. All member types can join the HK Giants training sessions free of charge.

- Passive Member = free
For supporters who just want to stay updated of how the team is doing in the season and be posted on any club news. All member types can join the HK Giants training sessions free of charge.

The club committee will send out another message shortly advising you the bank details and also providing an update on when the new Giants Jerseys will arrive.
