The first Sighted Guide Training Workshop was held on 6th July, 2013.  The HKBSF was thankful to all Sports Angels who spared time to attend this training session.

Contents of the Training Session included: teaching the Sports Angels how to guide the visually impaired athletes safely and properly from MTR station to the sports ground; how to assist them to warm up before running, as well as the sighted guide techniques and positioning by clock direction.  The sighted guide runners were also asked to wear eye masks to experience how it was like not being able to see.  Coaches, sighted guides and athletes gradually got to know each other and had a joyful evening at the Sham Shui Po Sports Ground.

We believe such an activity will give the sighted guide runners more confidence on guiding visually impaired athletes. We also expect them to assist the athletes to perform better through regular and systematic training.
