On 10th September afternoon, Stanley Ho East Asia College (SHEAC) and the UMSU Kin-Ball Club co-organized the Kin-Ball Fun Day. The President and two coach assistants from the Hong Kong Kin-Ball Association (HKKA) were invited to coach. More than 20 students joined in the event. Participants learned basic rules and practiced several techniques in the first part, and played kin-ball in teams in the second part of the activity.
On one hand, kin-ball is relatively easy to learn and it puts emphasis on team spirit and communication between team members. On the other hand, in terms of skills and teamwork, kin-ball can be very competitive. Participants learned about the importance of cooperation while stress was ‘sweated’ away. They also expressed that the activity provided them a novel experience, and some have become fond of this sport.

Kin-ball is originated in Canada. The inventor’s aim was to motivate more students to participate in sports, as kin-ball emphasizes teamwork, respect and inclusiveness. Since November 2015, SHEAC and HKKA have co-organized a series of kin-ball activities, including experiential sessions, beginner and intermediate training, level-1 coach, and level-1 referee courses; over 100 participants have joined, a sign of growing popularity in the UM community. In April this year, SHEAC students, with students from Choi Kai Yau College (CKYC), formed two teams to participate in the Hong Kong Kin-Ball Championship and achieved satisfactory results. In July, the UMSU Kin-Ball Club was formally founded.

9月10日下午，何鴻燊東亞書院與澳門大學學生會健球會合辦的健球體驗活動於澳門大學綜合體育館舉行。該活動邀請了香港健球總會會長及兩位助教前來指導，吸引二十多名學生參加，並在瞭解基本規則與技巧後分組進行了有趣的團隊遊戲。
健球的技術動作難度不高，容易上手，但十分考驗團隊合作能力，隊員之間也必須緊密溝通才能進行有效的進攻及防守。因此，參與者能在流汗的同時體會到合作的重要性。同學們紛紛表示該活動為他們提供了一個全新的體驗，有的更已經喜歡上這種運動。

健球源自於加拿大，發明者為了讓更多的學生參與體育活動，故而組織了強調團隊合作、尊重及包容的健球運動。自2015年11月開始，何鴻燊東亞書院與香港健球總會已舉辦一系列健球活動，包括體驗活動，初級訓練、中級訓練及一級見習裁判訓練課程，先後共超過100多人次參加，反應熱烈。本年4月何鴻燊東亞及蔡繼有書院曾派隊參加香港健球錦標賽，並取得滿意成績。其後7月，學生亦自發組織成立了澳大學生會健球會。
