「

」denotes those activities for which places will be allocated by ballot

Training Courses and Recreation Activities (Applicable to the training courses and recreation activities to be held from January 2024)

To enrol in the activities to be held the following month, applicants must submit ballot e-application forms through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage or smart self-service stations within the specified period in a month. For example, for training courses and recreation activities to be held in May, ballot applications must be submitted from 1 to 7 April.
Each applicant is required to submit only one ballot e-application form for enrolment in any of the training courses and recreation activities offered by the 18 DLSOs, Water Sports Centres, Tuen Mun Recreation and Sports Centre and the Green Campaign Section in a given month. Each ballot application form can be used to apply for up to 10 activities, of which only a maximum of three will be allocated to the applicant.
All applications submitted will be checked by the SmartPLAY system. In the event of duplicate application submissions, submission of incomplete information, non-compliance with activity requirements or ineligibility, the applications in question will be rejected by the system. In case the activity currently applied for will be held at the date and time conflicting with another training course or recreation activity for which payment has been settled or confirmation has been made, such an application will be rejected as well.
For those activities that require specific certificates or qualification proof, applicants must upload copies of the valid certificates or qualification proof onto the SmartPLAY system in their submission of e-application forms. Such copies will be verified by the organisers before the applicants may enter the ballot. Successful applicants must settle the payment and produce the originals of their certificates or qualification proof to their instructor for verification on the first day of the activity.
Upon completion of the courses organised by the LCSD, qualification proof issued by the LCSD will be recorded in their SmartPLAY personal accounts. Participants are not required to upload the relevant certificates separately. However, they must upload those certificates issued by National Sports Associations (NSAs) onto the SmartPLAY system of their own accord.
To participate in doubles or group activities such as social dance classes, hiking, an account user must, as the prime applicant, select the rest of the participating members who are qualified from a “friend list”, after filling in the order of preference for the activities. As far as the activities enrolled are concerned, all of the members must follow the same order of preference. If the members invited have not enrolled in other recreation and sports activities, they are not required to separately submit electronic applications. Members will receive a notification of invitation generated by the system. If the invitation is declined, the prime applicant must update the details of the members before the submission deadline, in a bid to meet the activity requirement on the number of participants. In the event of duplicate application submissions, submission of incomplete information, non-compliance with activity requirements or ineligibility on the part of the prime applicant or any of the participating members, the application in question will be rejected.
Under the SmartPLAY system, participants’ enrolment history will be recorded. The priority arrangements for “new applicants” in ballot will be extended to other training courses and recreation activities, in addition to the existing Fitness (Multi-gym) Training Courses. As such, the “new applicants” will enjoy priority in ballot when enrolling in various training courses and recreation activities. In entering a ballot, applicants will be classified into “new applicants” and “non-new applicants”. Based on the both groups’ orders of preference for the activities, the “new applicants” will first be allocated places by the system by means of ballot, and the remaining places, if any, will subsequently be allotted to the “non-new applicants”. The “new applicants” refer to those who have not attended the same type and level of a training course or recreation activity over the past 12 months. As regards doubles or group activities, if any member in a group is a “non-new applicant”, the entire group will be deemed as a “non-new applicant”, and will therefore not be accorded priority in the ballot. If a SmartPLAY user who has taken the Fitness (Multi-gym) Training Course over the past 12 months wishes to enrol in the same type of course, he/she will be identified as a “non-new applicant”.
Successful applicants will receive an electronic notification generated by the system of successful application and payment or confirmation. In addition, members of the public may also have access to the ballot results through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage, smart self-service stations or notice boards at organising DLSOs and leisure venues, but will not be notified separately by post. Successful applicants must settle the fees by electronic means or complete the confirmation procedures within the payment or confirmation period in a month through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage or smart self-service stations. For those who use the SmartPLAY webpage, fees can be settled by online payment methods including credit cards, Payment by Phone Service (PPS), Faster Payment System (FPS), Apple Pay or Google Pay. For those who use My SmartPLAY App, electronic payments may be made by credit cards, FPS, Apple Pay or Google Pay. For those who use the “smart self-service stations (3S)”, fees can be settled by Octopus Card or FPS.
If there are places available after the payment or confirmation period in a month, the number of such places will be announced through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage and smart self-service stations on a specified date of the month. Such places will be open for enrolment on a first-come-first-served basis from 8:30 am the following day through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage and smart self-service stations.
To participate in doubles or group activities during open enrolment period, an account user must, as the prime applicant, first select the rest of the participating members from the “Invitation for Joint Enrolment of first-come-first-served Activity” under “My Record” in SmartPLAY. Those being selected will then receive a notification of invitation generated by the system. The prime applicant can only proceed with the enrolment once he/she has the members’ consent.

Competitions (Applicable to competitions to be held from February 2024)

To enrol in the competitions to be held two months later, applicants must submit ballot e-application forms through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage or smart self-service stations within the specified period in a month. For example, for competitions to be held in June, ballot applications must be submitted from 8 to 14 April.
Applicants enrolling in competitions must be themselves the registered SmartPLAY users. Applications made by groups, organisations or schools will not be accepted.
Each applicant/team is required to submit only one ballot application form for enrolment in any of the competitions organised by DLSOs, Water Sports Centres or Tuen Mun Recreation and Sports Centre in a given month. In the event of duplicate application submissions, submission of incomplete information, non-compliance with competition requirements or ineligibility on the part of applicants/teams, the applications in question will be rejected by the system. Each ballot application form can be used to apply for up to 10 competitions, of which a maximum of three will be allocated to the applicant.
As far as the District Age Group Competitions are concerned, applicants who have enrolled in the capacity of local residents or local students, i.e. “Local Status”, must upload valid proof of “Local Status” onto the SmartPLAY personal profiles of their own accord by the closing date of enrolment. Applicants will be eligible to enter a ballot only after such proof documents are checked and found to be in order by the organisers.
In the event of duplicate application submissions, submission of incomplete information, non-compliance with competition requirements or ineligibility on the part of any of the participating members in their submission of applications, the application in question will be rejected by the system.
To participate in team competitions (such as football, basketball and volleyball competitions, etc.), a prime applicant must first select the rest of the participating members who are qualified from a “friend list”, before filling in the order of preference for the competitions. As far as the competitions enrolled, all of the members must follow the same order of preference. If the members invited have not enrolled in other competitions, they are not required to separately submit electronic applications. Members will receive a notification of invitation generated by the system. If the invitation is declined, the prime applicant must update the details of the members before the submission deadline, in a bid to meet the activity requirement on the number of participants. In the event of failure to meet the activity requirement on the number of participants by the submission deadline, the teams in question will be disqualified.
As far as the competitions held by the Water Sports Centres are concerned, applicants can enter a ballot only after valid certificates or qualification proof are uploaded in their submission of ballot e-application forms. In addition, they must produce the originals of valid qualification proof and logbooks for verification by the LCSD staff on the competition day as proof that the relevant certificates or qualifications and the required number of sailing hours are acquired before ballot. Failure to meet such requirements will disqualify the applicants from the competitions, and no refund for the fees paid will be made.
Alterations to all the details provided by an applicant will not be allowed after the submission deadline of application forms.
Successful applicants will receive an electronic notification generated by the system of successful application and payment or confirmation. In addition, members of the public may also have access to the ballot results through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage, smart self-service stations or notice boards at organsing DLSOs and leisure venues, but will not be notified separately by post. Successful applicants must settle the fees by electronic means or complete the confirmation procedures within the specified payment or confirmation period in a month through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage or smart self-service stations. For those who use the SmartPLAY webpage, fees can be settled by online payment methods including credit cards, PPS, FPS, Apple Pay or Google Pay. For those who use My SmartPLAY App, electronic payments may be made by credit cards, FPS, Apple Pay or Google Pay. For those who use the smart self-service stations, fees can be settled by Octopus Card or FPS.
If there are places available after the payment/confirmation period in a month, the number of such places will be announced through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage and smart self-service stations on a specified date of the month. Such places will be open for enrolment on a first-come-first-served basis from 8:30 am the following day through My SmartPLAY App, the SmartPLAY webpage and smart self-service stations.
To participate in doubles or group competition during the open enrolment status, an account user must, as the prime applicant, first select the rest of the participating members from the “Invitation for Joint Enrolment of first-come-first-served Activity” under “My Record” in SmartPLAY. Those being selected will then receive a notification of invitation generated by the system. The prime applicant can only proceed with the enrolment once he/she has the members’ consent.
