October 29, 2020

SHENZHEN, China


PacificPine Sports, Greater China’s leading multi-youth sports organisation, is excited to partner with Shenzhen University to establish elite sports programs and partnership with the goal of fostering a healthy and balanced environment for students.


The agreement comes at an exciting time as the Chinese government and educational institutions continue to demonstrate an openness to sports development, which is proven to be beneficial to the psychological well-being and personality development of students.


PacificPine Sport’s services will include sponsorship management, coaching support, and sports consulting to further grow the sports programs at Shenzhen University. PacificPine Sports will also work closely with the Shenzhen University Men’s Basketball Team to help grow their branding and media exposure.


PacificPine Sports will bring a wealth of experience to the partnership as industry leaders in sports development and are thrilled to be working with Shenzhen University, who share the same commitment of providing the best learning environment to their students.


“PacificPine Sports is very pleased to work with Shenzhen University to help develop top calibre sports programs that will not only benefit the university but most importantly, will benefit the students. We believe that sports teaches important skills that can help students excel in the classroom and in their careers,” said Joel Haines, Co-CEO of PacificPine Sports. “The team at PacificPine Sports have deep understanding of China’s sports environment and have also passed the highest international coaching requirements. We look forward to sharing our vast array of knowledge and experience to the great students and coaches at Shenzhen University.”


PacificPine Sports also has an extensive network in the U.S. and will provide students interested in working in sports with internship and work opportunities. PacificPine Sports works closely with some of America’s leading sports companies and most of the senior staff have moved to China from the U.S., including Bob Pierce, former NBA scout and current Director of Curriculum at PacificPine Sports.


Li Chen, Deputy Dean at Shenzhen University said, "We would like to give a special thanks to Bob Pierce, and his entire coaching team for their contributions. With his understanding of scientific research and basketball training, I believe our basketball program will reach an exciting new level. I believe that this cooperation will be a great starting point, and I believe that we will be able to achieve fantastic results!”
