Singapore Sports School's paddlers have consistently achieved notable results in the WTT series, clinching podium prizes each year. Youth paddlers such as Izaac Quek Yong, Ser Lin Qian and Zhou Jingyi achieved podium finishes in at least one competition in the circuit.

Special Programmes
OVERSEAS TRAINING CAMPS
|
---|
The Table Tennis Academy sends its student-athletes for overseas training stints yearly to train and spar with stronger teams. This exposes them to different types of play of a higher level. The Academy has organised training trips to provincial teams in China in the past which has provided sparring opponents of higher standard, thereby raising their quality of game. Student-athletes in the School-Within-A-School (SWS) programme have opportunities to go for additional training trips and learn from stronger and more skillful players.
