Wu Chun made a special appearance at Meragang Sixth Form school this afternoon

Following the initiation of the ‘Hopes in the Hoop’ Initiative last Friday, KFC and Fitness Zone visited their first school, Sekolah Pertingkatan Enam Meragang, to kick start their school tour on this afternoon with their partners Good Game and Trinity.

The Hopes In The Hoop Team or the H.I.T. Hoop Team’s visit was received by over 300 students and teachers who had a chance to listen to a talk followed by a basketball clinic. Leading the basketball clinic during that day is none other than ex-PBA player Erwin Velez who is currently working with KFC to promote basketball. Assisting him in the clinic was Good Game’s Jacky Yong Kui Seng, another experienced basketball player. Jacky’s past notable achievement included a personal scoring of 44 points during a game in an inter-company basketball tournament.

The students were in awe with the presence of Wu Chun’s appearance who gave support to the basketball clinic. He also shared some of his basketball experiences.

“As part of our roadmap to see a Brunei team playing for 3 On 3 basketball tournament during the Olympics, we are trying to push for a 3 On 3 inter-school basketball tournament to happen in the near future,” said Jonathan Bong, Senior Marketing Manager, KFC.

“For now, we are adopting most of FIBA’s rules so as to prep the participants, hence our slogan for this year being “Our Rules, Your Battles, Anyone’s Game,” said Wu Chun.

The H.I.T. Hoop team plans to visit 2 to 3 schools every month to promote basketball via talks and basketball clinics. Interested schools can contact Wendy or Devon via 8713788 / 8838310 to make arrangement.

Besides doing school visits, the Hopes In The Hoop Initiative will see both KFC and Fitness Zone doing roadshows to promote basketball. Last Sunday they did their first roadshow at The NewXpo which gathered around 200 participants joining a new activity of theirs known as ‘Time Attack’. In the activity, participants were given a 1 minute timeframe to shoot in as many balls into the hoop as they can from the 2 points line with the winner shooting in the most. The winner of the day went to Sii Tung Yung who shot in 17 balls within a minute.
