Dear Fellow Old Boys,

One of the benefits bestowed upon the Old Boys by the College is the privilege to use the sports facilities in LSC on Sundays. While rental fees are being charged for the use of these facilities, the benefits are more as a means to strengthen the ties between the School and Old Boys.

On 23 December 2008, the LSCOBA is endorsed by the School authority to coordinate and supervise the use of sports facilities by Old Boys on Sundays. The following details/ plans have been strictly implemented since 4 January 2009, subject to periodic review.

Old Boys and their families are welcome to use the School's sport facilities on Sundays. These facilities include the outdoor basketball court on G/F., the squash court in LG1, the tennis court in LG2, and the indoor gym for badminton, table tennis, and basketball (the indoor basketball court is equivalent to six badminton courts). The standard rate is HK$80 per court per hour (to be prepaid by cash/ cheque/ Visa/ MasterCard/ American Express), while a discounted rate of HK$70 per hour is applicable for settlement by LSCOBA Visa card. All on-the-spot bookings will be charged at HK$120 per hour.

All bookings (DOC or PDF) can be made in advance either by phone (2336-2985), fax (2339-3838) or email (sportsbooking@lscoba.com) and in any event, not later than 1500hrs on preceding Fridays. LSCOBA membership card and/ or credit card are requested to be presented for identification purposes. The LSCOBA Sunday Sports Administrator will be stationed in LG2 to deal with any administrative issues.

Regarding the use of the soccer field, the revised rate is HK$800 per 1.5 hours (to be settled by cash/ cheque/ Visa/ MasterCard/ American Express) when both teams are Old Boy teams, while a discounted rate of HK$750 is offered for settlement of payment by LSCOBA Visa card. In the event that a guest team is involved, the rate is HK$1,000 per 1.5 hours (to be settled by cash/ cheque/ Visa/ MasterCard/ American Express), HK$950 for settlement of payment by LSCOBA Visa card.

All bookings (DOC or PDF) must be made in advance either by fax (2339-3838) or by email (soccerbooking@lscoba.com), and in any event, not later than 1500hrs on preceding Fridays. On-the-spot booking is NOT available for soccer field bookings.

A team is defined as an Old Boys team when eight players or more are on field at any one time of the match. LSCOBA expects old boys to honour this system of booking fees.

LSCOBA Committee members will be available on site to cater to any contingencies that may arise for the first few weeks. The School and LSCOBA have agreed to review and refine if deemed necessary the above arrangements.
