Table Tennis Academy

Overview

The Table Tennis Academy works closely with the Singapore Table Tennis Association (STTA) to identify, nurture and inspire young paddlers to maximise their full potential. The close collaboration has produced exceptional athletes and contributed significantly to Singapore’s success in table tennis in prestigious international competitions.

Student-athletes have access to a comprehensive training programme, high-quality coaching, developmental opportunities and athlete-friendly support. The success of the collaboration between Sports School and STTA is evident in the excellent results of student-athletes at local and international tournaments. Also, it has consistently produced national team players who have brought pride and glory to Singapore at international competitions such as the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games and SEA Games.

The current national team predominantly consists of past and present student-athletes. National athletes like Izaac Quek who won three gold medals at the 32nd SEA Games and was the No. 1 in the U15 Boys’ Singles world rankings, and Koen Pang who topped the Under-18 Boys’ Singles world rankings and won several regional and international medals, exemplify the calibre of players produced by the Table Tennis Academy. Both achieved a significant milestone in March 2023 as they became the first locally-born national table tennis players to break into the top 100 of the men’s singles rankings. Other Team Singapore athletes such as Olympian Clarence Chew, Zhou Jingyi, Isabelle Li, and Wong Xin Ru have also benefitted from Sports School’s athlete-friendly environment and have won accolades for being role-model student-athletes for excelling in sports and studies.
