Singapore Sports School Badminton Academy has a close partnership with Singapore Badminton Association (SBA). About 80 per cent of our badminton players, upon entering the Sports School, are inducted into SBA’s National Intermediate Squad (NIS), giving our student-athletes an advantage in entering the national senior team.

Badminton Academy student-athletes in the School-Within-A-School (SWS) programme are coached by NIS Youth Coach Kelvin Ho who is seconded from SBA. The unique collaboration with SBA also sees Sports School’s coaches doubling up as NIS coaches, resulting in a greater alignment of the Badminton Academy’s programme to the national setup’s.

Since the SWS began in 2011, our youth shuttlers have shown dominance in the local scene and achieved notable results at the regional level. Being in the NIS, student-athletes in the SWS programme have more opportunities to travel and compete overseas, thus giving them greater competition exposure.

The Badminton Academy also conducts pre-Singapore Sports School programmes. Interested candidates can read more about the programmes by clicking the "PROGRAMMES AND COMPETITIONS" tab above.

The Yonex-Singapore Sports School Junior Excellence Programme (JEP) started in 2011, providing coaching to top junior players from 9 to 11 years old. The training programme is designed and delivered by Singapore Sports School’s coaches. Young talented badminton players under the JEP are groomed and nurtured before joining Singapore Sports School’s Badminton Academy in Secondary 1.
Primary 4 to 6 Invitational Training
Singapore Sports School collaborates with Singapore Badminton Association to identify Primary 4 to 6 pupils with potential in the sport. These selected pupils are invited to train with Sports School to enhance their sport development.

Singapore Sports School collaborates with the Singapore Badminton Association to invite the top eight athletes (four boys and four girls) in each level of Primary 4 and Primary 5 to attend an intensive training camp in the Sports School. Participants undergo sessions focused on improving their skill, technique and fitness. Players have opportunities to be talent-scouted and invited to join the National Intermediate Squad in secondary school.
