From Sports Science to Social Entrepreneurship : Raymond Sum Advocates Positive Life with Physical Literacy (II)

PLACY welcomes parents and schools to bring primary and secondary school students to take tests and activities to realise their potentials. “PLACY-Academy. Our name shows that assessments aside, we are more like an academy which matches students’ abilities with suitable sports and gives advice. We also have rankings, awards, certificates and scholarships to encourage students who wish to take competitive sports. These measures recognise their “special talents” and highlight their various abilities, making it easier for schools to develop physical education curricula and sports programmes.
