Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation

The Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation (HKSSF) is the largest schools sports organization in Hong Kong, overseeing school sports competitions between primary schools and secondary schools, as well as co-ordinating Hong Kong schools representatives for interport and international competitions. It was incorporated on 4. July, 1997  and formally inaugurated on 1. September 1997, as a result of the amalgamation of the Hong Kong Schools Sports Association, New Territories Schools Sports Association and the Hong Kong Schools Sports Council.

History
In May 1995, a provisional federation was formed to restructure and supervise the work then done by the three school sports organizations, and the prototype of the Hong Kong Schools Sports Federation is hence conceived.

Offices
The HKSSF consists of three offices, each succeeding the three constituent organizations. The Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Office (HKSSF-HK) succeeds the HKSSA, while its New Territories equivalent, the Regional Office (HKSSF-NT), succeeds the NTSSA. Both offices are in charge of managing school sports competitions in their respective regions. The External Office (HKSSF-EXT) succeeds the HKSSC, and is in charge of managing the Jing Ying Tournaments and matters regarding Hong Kong representatives and delegations to international events. All offices are based at the headquarters of the HKSSF, which is at 7 Carmel Village Street, Kowloon.

The Board
The HKSSF comprises one main board, two school sports councils and the External School Sports Committee.

The Main Board consists of three ex officio seats for the Chairpersons of the Primary School Sports Council, the Secondary School Sports Council and the External School Sports Committee, and 3 members each from the SSSC, PSSC and 3 non-Council members each from secondary schools and primary schools.

Badge
The Provisional Federation held a badge design competition from 1995 to 12. January 1996. All entries were to be drawn on 8' x 10' drawing paper and be sumbitted to the Provinsional Federation before the deadline. The winner would receive HK$3000 and his/her design will be used as the official HKSSF badge.

The winning design comprised of a book and two athletes, symbolizing the role of student athletes.
