Multi-Sport

What Multi-Sport does

Multi-Sport Ltd is a Hong Kong-based sports coaching provider founded in 1983 by Pierre Steynberg, a graduate of St. Paul's College of Education, Cheltenham UK. The company delivers structured physical education programmes for children aged 18 months through adulthood across multiple disciplines including swimming, gymnastics, soccer, tennis, basketball, trampolining, and general junior sports. Its curriculum incorporates recognised external frameworks — the British ASA Learn to Swim/Aquatic Skills Framework for swimming and FA-qualified coaching methodology for soccer (targeting 80% ball time per lesson) — alongside proprietary in-house programmes such as "Gym for Joy" (gymnastics, established 1983), "Gym for Tots," and "Dolphins" (competitive swimming pathway).

The business operates as a direct-to-consumer provider at five partner venues across Hong Kong Island: FIS (Hong Kong International School, Jardines Lookout), HKCC (Hong Kong Cricket Club, Wong Nai Chung Gap Road), YWCA (Central), HKFC (Hong Kong Football Club, Happy Valley), and Pacific View (private residence). Several venues are member-only, which inherently restricts the addressable audience at those locations. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based programme fees billed annually, with pricing disclosed via downloadable brochures per venue; a 10% discount is offered to FIS students on Soccer classes. Supplementary revenue streams include branded uniforms and holiday sports camps.

Multi-Sport expanded to Shanghai via a franchise in 2007 and maintains a Facebook page and Instagram presence for marketing. It does not operate a mobile application, has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, and has not raised institutional funding. The company remains privately held under founder ownership with 11–50 employees.
