陳廣裕

Chan Kwong Yu is a Hong Kong handball coach and secondary-school physical education teacher at Sha Tin Pui Ying College, and a former handball player. He has coached the Hong Kong, China men's representative handball team and was included in the Hong Kong, China delegation at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou (2023) as one of the men's team coaches, working alongside the team manager and other coaches. His connection with the sport goes back many years: when the Beijing 2008 Olympic torch relay reached Hong Kong on 2 May 2008, a route of about 25 kilometres covered in roughly six and a half hours by some 120 torchbearers, he was one of them, introduced at the time as an 'athlete and secondary school teacher' and identified as a teacher at Sha Tin Pui Ying College and a handball player, indicating his early involvement in both playing and teaching. Handball in Hong Kong has long operated on an amateur basis, with many coaches and players holding day jobs as teachers or office workers; Chan is an example of a coach who combines teaching with work for the representative team. He is mainly responsible for the men's team's training and in-game management. Details of his early club career and the full record of the years he has coached remain limited in public sources.
