“For me, that’s everything: seeing them grow as young athletes, make real friendships, and get ready for school. That’s why I coach.” 🧡
Meet Coach Grant! Since joining the MiniSport team in 2024, he’s been making an incredible impact on our youngest athletes.
In this video, Grant shares the beautiful journey of his very first playgroup class — a group of 1.5-year-olds who had never stepped onto a sports pitch before. Watching them transform from hesitant toddlers struggling to balance, into confident, energetic kids who run into class to see their friends, is exactly what the MiniSport movement is all about. 🌱⚽️
Beyond the pitch, Grant also plays a huge role behind the scenes as our School and Club Coordinator, building strong connections with schools and partners to help grow the MiniSport community across Hong Kong. 🤝
(And before you ask… yes, he’s from Scotland, and yes, his name is Grant Paterson — but no, he’s actually no relation to our founder, Matthew Paterson! 🏴😆)
We are so incredibly lucky to have coaches like Grant who care so deeply about creating a safe, positive space for your children to learn and grow.
Drop a 🧡 in the comments if your little one has loved a class with Coach Grant!
