Sport Singapore

Started 15 years ago with a simple belief: passion over perfection. Appendix Ultimate has grown into a wholesome, supportive community. Run by a dedicated team of volunteers and EXCO members, the group continues to welcome new players, bringing people together through sport.

While they occasionally compete in tournaments, they are driven by friendship and the love of the game, more than a desire to win. Even as the founding team has evolved, that original spirit lives on.

Fuelled by passion and love for the lacrosse game, what started as a niche sports group in JC evolved into CrosseFire, with a mission to bring the sport to more people.

With their Learn-to-Lax sessions open to all, anyone can step in, pick up a stick and learn to play. Backed by a committee dedicated to educating and uplifting the community, strangers become teammates—and then friends through play.

That same spirit carried into the Singapore Urban Sports + Fitness Festival (SGUSFF). Through hands on activities like passing and shooting, the public got a chance to experience lacrosse firsthand.

Because when a sport is open to all, it sparks curiosity—and that first try could be the start of something more.

You don’t always see the people shaping sport, but you feel their impact everywhere. The true 12th Man often works quietly behind the scenes, making the system stronger for everyone in it.

Meet Lee Kai Yang, former National Water Polo goalkeeper turned Sports Business Consultant at Deloitte. Drawing from his experience in the pool, he now applies a strategic, systems-level lens to identify gaps, streamline processes, and support athletes and NSAs alike.

He may no longer wear the cap, but he’s still very much in the game – quietly, purposefully, and proudly giving back to the sporting ecosystem he thrived in, and paving the way for others.

The Major Games may have ended, but what it took to get there does not.

Across different paths, each journey was shaped by years of training, the discipline of selection, and the steady work required to reach this stage. What is seen in competition is only a moment within something much longer.

No athlete arrives here alone. Behind every performance is a network of support—coaches, teammates, families, and those who make the journey possible, often beyond what is visible.

Together, they show that excellence is built over time, carried by more than one. And as this chapter closes, a quiet recognition of every athlete, and everyone who stood beside them along the way.

Onwards to the next Games, ! 🇸🇬

1 April 2026 - Today marks a significant milestone as we formalise the operations of Sport Excellence Singapore (SpexSG). SpexSG integrates the High Performance Sport Institute (HPSI), Singapore Sports School (SSP) and Unleash the Roar! (UTR!) to create a stronger and more integrated support system for Team Singapore athletes, coaches, sport professionals and administrators.

SpexSG will chart the strategic direction for Singapore’s high performance sport system and drive greater synergy providing more seamless support across the youth-to-senior pathway, strengthening coordination among stakeholders, and improving *the* integration of athlete support services.

Behind every athlete is a village — and together, we will propel Team Singapore further and higher.
