The Board, at its meeting on 4 February 2025, agreed unanimously to support a research study by Portas Consulting into the gymnastics landscape in Singapore.
If we were to take a photograph of what gymnastics in Singapore looks like today, this study will describe the photograph in data. It will describe what gymnastics will look like through four lenses:
Clubs and Competitions:
Affiliated clubs
Non-affiliated clubs
Affiliation and membership
Competition network
Workforce:
Coach certification
Affiliation and development
Coaches
Judge certification
Affiliation and development
Judges
Participation Pathways:
Mass participation
Club participation
Elite pipeline
Facilities:
Supply
Utilisation and attendance
Operations
This is incredibly important research for Singapore Gymnastics, the first we have ever undertaken, because it will provide benchmark data for us to measure progress of our on-going investment into the domestic infrastructure and the gymnastics industry in Singapore. It will provide data that will underpin the SG Business Plan FY26-29. This landmark research is about all activity and clubs, not just Singapore Gymnastics and those clubs affiliate to Singapore Gymnastics. The research will take place over the next two months, and we eagerly anticipate draft findings for sharing at the 2025 Club Congress, proposed for 17 April.
