SINGAPORE COACH-EXCELLENCE PROGRAMME (SG-Coach)

Coach education in Singapore is driven by the National Coaching Accreditation Programme (NCAP) developed in the 1990s. With changes in the sports industry over the last 20+ years, Sport Singapore recognises the need to revise the NCAP. After years of research in existing coaching education systems, survey of coaches and consultations with various stakeholders/domain experts, we are delighted to share with you the new SG-Coach Programme.

The new SG-Coach Programme’s aims are to enhance the training and development pathway for coaches in the community, youth, clubs and high performance programmes and to develop high quality and professional coaches to support the demands of the coaching industry in Singapore. Coaches trained in this programme will gain multi-dimensional skills in the area of sports science, coaching, lifeskills, evidence-based practices and to promote social values and principles.

Singapore Triathletes Qualifies for the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games

TAS would like to congratulate Bryce Chong and Denise Chia, both of whom had won qualification to the 2014 YOG triathlon held in Nanjing China coming August.

Racing in a high altitude and wet suit race in the 4 degree Celsius Burabay Kazakhstan weather did not help much for our youth athletes, whom were pretty unfamiliar with racing in such a condition. However, they show true determination against a very strong field of world class youth athletes, all of whom competing for only 5 asian spots up for grab at the 2014 Nanjing YOG Triathlon. Bryce and Denise both crossed the finish line within the top 5 national federation qualification criteria, thus booking their tickets to Nanjing in August. Singapore's other representative in the individual male category, Sean Chan came in a respectable 14/23 position, ahead of athletes from 6 other national federations.

Japan, Korea and Hong Kong were the other asian federations to qualify for the individual triathlon for both genders. While Kazakhstan and Philippines grab the final spot for the individual male and female respectively. China automatically qualified as host nation.

Well done to the 3 youth athletes! Special thanks to all coaching staff of the athletes, as well as the supportive parents whom had funded mostly for their training and competitions.

Let's get ready to support our youth triathletes in action, and fly the Singapore flag with pride at the 2014 Nanjing YOG come August!

Majulah Singapura!
