Stronger governance, better coach development, clearer performance pathways and membership growth are at the heart of Singapore Gymnastics' plans.
Singapore, 1 October 2026 | Singapore Gymnastics has outlined its priorities for the coming years following its 24th Annual General Meeting and 2nd SG Congress, both held in September 2026.
The plans aim to create a more connected national gymnastics system in which clubs, coaches and national programmes work together to support participation, athlete development and international performance.
At the 24th Singapore Gymnastics Annual General Meeting, members adopted SG's FY25 Annual Report and audited accounts. SG reported turnover of $5.42 million, an annual surplus of $68,651 and total reserves of $1.16 million. Self-generated income increased for the third consecutive
year.
Members also unanimously approved amendments to the Singapore Gymnastics Constitution, substantially aligning it with the Sport Singapore and Singapore National Olympic Council National Sports Association Model Constitution. The amendments will take effect following the necessary regulatory approval.
These developments provide a stronger governance and financial foundation for longer-term investment in gymnastics through clubs, coaches, athletes and participation.
The 2nd Singapore Gymnastics Congress brought together 50 representatives from the Board, committees, Technical Advisory Councils, staff and affiliated and associated clubs. to consider three priorities: (1) Performance Development, (2) Coach Learning and Development, and (3) Membership Development.
A key focus was the creation of clearer connections between club programmes, the Singapore Gymnastics Development Programme (SGDP) and National Training Centres (NTCs).
A proposed Performance Development Programme and first ever National Training Centre policy will establish clearer athlete pathways and long-term objectives through to 2032. These include SEA Games podium success, particularly at a “home” games in 2029, stronger Asian rankings and increased Olympic participation ambitions.
SG also proposed a significant evolution in coach education with a new Coach Learning and Development (CLAD) Framework. This will move beyond a traditional emphasis on qualifications towards continuous professional development (CPD), or continuous coach education (CCE), mentoring, workplace learning and ongoing coach support.
This reflects the important role coaches play in providing safe, positive and effective experiences for gymnasts at every level.
More than 20,000 people are estimated to participate in gymnastics across Singapore, but approximately 3,500 are currently Singapore Gymnastics members. The SG Business Plan sets a target of reaching 10,000 members by 2030.
A new membership framework will explore enhanced benefits and improved digital services while extending SG's safeguarding, Safe Sport and insurance reach across more of the gymnastics community.
Increasing membership is therefore about more than numbers. It is about creating a better protected and better connected sport in Singapore.
Continued participation growth and athlete retention will remain important priorities, particularly in disciplines with smaller athlete numbers.
The Ministry of Education has confirmed that Trampoline will be retired from the National School Games from 2029, following a review of participation, sustainability and the use of available resources. In 2028, the competition will be offered only to A and B Division athletes.
Singapore Gymnastics and the Ministry of Education will explore arrangements through which affected student-athletes competing in recognised external competitions may remain eligible for school Colours Awards during the transition period.
The change reinforces the importance of sustainable club-based pathways that enable young people to continue training and competing beyond the school environment.
The next phase of SG’s development will focus on the following areas:
Sustainable progress will depend on collaboration across the gymnastics community. By working together, Singapore Gymnastics, clubs, coaches, athletes and partners can build a stronger and more connected sport, with better coaching, broader participation and clearer pathways from grassroots gymnastics to international performance.
