Parents take note ⚠️ Screen timeout is destroying children's focus.
Raise your hand if you are exhausted from fighting with your kid over their phone every single day 🙋🏻♀️
Asking them to do homework — "Just a minute" turns into an entire afternoon.
Asking them to go to sleep — "Five more minutes of scrolling" turns into midnight.
It’s not that the kid is lazy; screens are literally and physically altering their brains 👇
🇸🇬 Singapore Government's 2026 Latest Guidelines Expressly Warn:
📛 Recreational screen time for primary school students must not exceed 2 hours a day.
📛 No social media accounts permitted before age 13.
📛 Prolonged excessive screen time delays the development of the prefrontal cortex.
The prefrontal cortex is the brain's control center, responsible for self-control and logic.
When its development falls behind, children will:
❌ Be unable to sit still and complain of fatigue just 5 minutes into homework.
❌ Have minds filled only with superficial, short-form noise, leaving zero room for deep thinking.
❌ Explode over minor issues, completely unable to regulate their emotions.
So what should you do? 🇸🇬 The official guidelines offer a core solution:
🚩 Replace fragmented screen pleasure with offline physical activities.
And table tennis is officially recognized as a top-tier alternative sport! 🏓
✅ Eyes tracking the ball → Relaxes the ciliary muscles; a universally recognized eye-care sport.
✅ Split-second judgments on spin and placement → Restores focus and decision-making skills.
✅ Real physical opposition → Rebuilds confidence and emotional resilience.
✅ Fun for the whole family → A natural replacement for family screen time.
Instead of fighting over smartphones every day, bring your child to the court to swing a racket!

🇸🇬 Can Learning Table Tennis Help Your Child Get Extra Points for PSLE? Here’s the Truth!
Recently, many parents have been asking:
“I heard that learning table tennis can help with DSA and earn extra points. Is that true?”
Here’s the honest answer: It can help, but it does NOT directly add points to your PSLE score!
Any promotion claiming “Sign up and get 2 extra points for DSA” can be ignored ❌
⸻
🎯 There are two main ways table tennis can actually help with your child’s education pathway:
1️⃣ Primary School → Secondary School: DSA-Sec
Primary 6 students with strong table tennis abilities can potentially secure a place through DSA-Sec based on their sporting talent.
However, this is a conditional admission, not extra marks added directly to the PSLE score.
Your child still needs to achieve the Posting Group required by the school in their PSLE.
And after entering the school through DSA, the student is expected to continue participating in the school’s table tennis CCA. DSA is not a shortcut to enter a school and then stop playing.
There are no shortcuts here — only genuine ability and consistent long-term commitment!
Examples of schools offering table tennis DSA-Sec in 2026:
South View? Nan Chiau High School, Temasek Secondary School, River Valley High School, and others.
2️⃣ After Secondary School: Applying to JC/Poly through CCA
If table tennis is your child’s official CCA during secondary school, their participation and achievements can contribute to their LEAPS 2.0 assessment.
* Excellent → 2-point bonus for admission
* Good → 1-point bonus for admission
But simply choosing table tennis as a CCA does not automatically guarantee bonus points.
The assessment takes into account four areas:
Participation, Service, Leadership, and Achievement.
Your child needs to build up their overall record across these areas.
🚨 Important: Certificates from private training academies do not count as DSA qualification by themselves!
Schools look at your child’s actual playing ability, trial performance, and official competition results.
⸻
💡 Our sincere advice:
If your child is considering this pathway, don’t wait until Primary 6 to start worrying about it.
Start by assessing your child’s ability early and understand how far they are from the DSA standard.
At New Century Table Tennis Academy Singapore, we help parents understand three important things:
✅️ Your child’s current playing level
✅️ How far they are from the DSA standard of their target school
✅️ What they should focus on training next
Make sure every hour your child spends training is moving them closer to their goals. 💪
