Variables contributing to the development of sporting excellence in Singapore schools : the case of Broadway Secondary

Abstract

A seminar on SPEX 2000 and the Schools (Singapore Sports Council, 1994) outlined the symbiotic relationship that needed to exist between schools and NSAs if potential champions are to be groomed. The process of developing champion sporting teams in Singapore schools however remains vague as no study has yet been conducted (The Straits Times, October 9, 1992, p.42). In order to gain understanding of this process, a case study was conducted in Broadway Secondary School*, a school that has a tradition of producing excellent results in sports.
