Unveiled during the turnover ceremony on April 19, the project replaced a previously basic space with a professionally finished court, featuring a high-quality surface, clear markings, and an improved layout designed for safe, consistent use.
Beyond the upgrade, STARTRADER, an official partner of the NBA, brought the space to life with basketballs, jerseys, and school supplies distributed during the ceremony. A team-based game, alongside remarks from STARTRADER and school representatives, marked the handover as an energetic, community-driven moment that set the tone for ongoing use.
Since completion, the court has become an active part of daily life at the center, with students engaging more consistently in group play, training sessions, and organized activities. The new environment is already strengthening participation and creating a more engaging space for development.
The District 10 Children's House is a vibrant hub for children aged 7 to 15, offering diverse classes, clubs, and competitions that empower over 10,000 learners annually to build creativity, discipline, and real-life skills.
"We deeply appreciate STARTRADER's commitment to creating a space where children can truly grow. More than a court, it is now a place our learners feel proud of and connected to. Since its completion, we've seen clear growth in their energy and engagement. Its impact is already visible every day." — Nguyễn Thị Ngọc Hiếu, General Manager, The District 10 Children's House.
"Seeing the space come to life and watching how quickly it became part of the students' daily routine is what makes this project meaningful. This is the kind of outcome that justifies the effort, creating a place where young people can grow, build confidence, and experience real progress." — Peter Karsten, Chief Executive Officer, STARTRADER.
By investing in accessible spaces that support discipline and development, STARTRADER continues to expand its CSR impact, translating consistency and structure into real-world environments that deliver measurable results.

STARTRADER Transforms Basketball Court for 10,000 Youth Annually in Vietnam
SANYA, China, May 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On the evening of April 30, 2026, the closing ceremony of the 6th Asian Beach Games was held at Yasha Park in Sanya, Hainan. Titled "Starlit Night," the ceremony centered on "Youth, Friendship, and Moving Forward," revisiting the event's most memorable moments, conveying a vision of "Asia as One Family," and showcasing the speed and vitality of China's development represented by the Hainan Free Trade Port.
The Games were held from April 22 to 30, attracting more than 1,600 athletes from 45 countries and regions across Asia, creating a true "family portrait." The Chinese delegation delivered an outstanding performance, winning 24 gold, 18 silver, and 13 bronze medals, totaling 55. China topped both the gold medal table and the overall standings, marking its best-ever result. Thailand and Iran placed second and third respectively.
At the closing ceremony, Gao Zhidan, President of the Chinese Olympic Committee and Chairman of the Sanya 2026 Organizing Committee, and Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah, President of the Olympic Council of Asia, delivered speeches expressing gratitude to all contributors to the event's success.
Gao Zhidan noted that the people of Hainan demonstrated the distinctive charm of the Free Trade Port as an open frontier with enthusiasm and determination, presenting a spectacular Asian Beach Games featuring "Chinese characteristics, Asian style, and remarkable excellence." He added that Asia will move forward hand in hand, using sport to promote peace, unity, and inclusiveness, and to build a shared future marked by prosperity and development.
Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah delivered remarks and officially declared the Games closed. He emphasized that through unity and shared purpose, Asia has come together as one, writing a new chapter in its history and presenting the world with a splendid edition of the Games. With solidarity and collective strength, Asia can achieve limitless possibilities.
The closing ceremony also featured the handover of the Olympic Council of Asia flag, as Sanya passed it to Cebu in the Philippines, the host city of the next Asian Beach Games.
As the first major international multi-sport event after the island-wide special customs operations of the Hainan Free Trade Port, this edition achieved a "double success" in both athletic performance and sportsmanship, while also enhancing Hainan's global profile as a window into China's openness, inclusiveness, and vitality.
