Archery

Think you can unleash an arrow to fly 150 mph? You can, at the Archery Club! Since its inception in 1998, the Archery Club has won numerous medals at national-level competitions. Our skilled and passionate members have also been a part of Singapore's National Team, have had the opportunity to participate in archery competitions/events, and have held both Male and Female POL-ITE championships.

Badminton

With badminton being the second most popular sport in the world, the Badminton Club is in demand. We provide a great environment for recreational players who want to improve their skills in sparring matches and workouts, as well as leadership training in the form of planning and management. Join us in organising and/or participating in events such as the Inter School Games and other external competitions.

Basketball

A team sport by nature, basketball helps to forge strong bonds as participants learn and play together as one. The Basketball Club invites interested individuals to join the club for try-outs and training sessions. We also conduct annual camps and friendly matches outside of training time.

Bowling

Ever wondered how you can play well on one bowling lane but the same playing techniques don’t get you far on another? It could be down to the lane oiling patterns. As a member of the Bowling Club, you’ll get to learn how to read ball movement and lane oiling patterns so you always play a consistent game. We believe that in bowling, you need to have a brilliant strategy, mental strength and keen teamwork to play well. We welcome individuals of any experience level. Come join us!

Canoeing

Come and experience that addictive feeling of the boat slicing through water. Who knows, this might just be your sport. The Canoeing Club focuses on the canoe sprint discipline, which comprises mainly canoe marathons and sprinting competitions that test your strength, power and endurance. Sprinting boats are meticulously designed to slice through the water to achieve great speeds. So, if speed’s your thing, this is the club for you.

Climbing Club

The Climbing Club specialises in competitive sport climbing, which consists of bouldering and high wall climbing. While high wall climbing requires ropes or harnesses, bouldering is a form of free climbing, which, as the name suggests, doesn’t require rope or harness support. Both variations use artificial rock walls and are practised in indoor climbing gyms around Singapore. In the Climbing Club, you’ll develop highly skilled techniques and sportsmanship. There are many ways to approach rock climbing, which is why the sport can involve multiple people coming together to solve problems and improve techniques. That’s why we’re a very close-knit community at the Climbing Club. Come find out if you’ve got what it takes!

Dragon Boat

The Dragon Boat Club carries an illustrious history, coupled with a fierce reputation for determination, strength and team spirit in the Singapore Dragon Boat fraternity.
