Badminton Academy
Overview
A student-athlete in the Badminton Academy is part of the Singapore Badminton Association’s (SBA) Junior Performance Programme. The programme, which is developed and led by SBA, is designed to nurture and develop the potential of young badminton players.
Student-athletes will undergo structured, long-term, and holistic development practices and processes which will optimise their growth potential. The programme will also equip them with the technical and tactical skills to achieve success at the senior level. As the programme is based in Sports School, it allows our student-athletes to train and spar with the best youths in the country.
Student-athletes also have access to the National Youth Sports Institute’s sports science support, such as its strength and conditioning programme and physiotherapy. The Sports Science support is integral to the student-athletes' development in badminton. Also, its athlete-friendly support and boarding facilities enable shuttlers to excel in the sport.
With Sports School's close collaboration with SBA, it has nurtured several champions in sport who have represented Singapore in local and international competitions over the years. About 80 percent of our badminton players have qualified into SBA’s National Intermediate Squad (NIS) upon enrolling into the Badminton Academy. Past and present student-athletes, such as Loh Kean Yew, Yeo Jia Min, Terry Hee and Jessica Tan, dominate the national team and proudly represent Singapore on the global stage.
The Badminton Academy continues to shape the future of badminton in Singapore, and produce champions who will soar to greater heights.
