The Academy organizes a nutrition workshop hosted by a registered dietitian for youth team players and parents every season. Through the workshop, we hope to educate them on nutritional needs to fuel their trainings and matches, as well as enhance recovery. Adequate intake of nutrients will also help build an ideal physique and reduce risk of injury and illness.
To help youth players understand and put into practice the recommended nutrition intake, the Academy provides training meals, pre-match meals and post-match snacks for U14 to U18 teams through the Kitchee Bistro.
In addition, with a view to improving the physical health and total wellness for young players, the Academy has launched a partnership with Trappist Dairy where dairy products, including milk and yogurt, are provided to Academy players of all ages before and after training, gym sessions, and matches. The partnership highlights the commitment of both Kitchee and Trappist Dairy to supporting physical development of youth in Hong Kong.
