Equestrian Federation of Singapore (EFS) is the National Sports Association (NSA) for Equestrian Sports in Singapore. EFS exists to provide Excellence, Opportunity and Service to the equestrian community. EFS seeks to share the equestrian sport with everyone and consider ourselves to be an ideal starting point to the equestrian sport, whether it be as a rider or as a professional wanting to pursue a career in horse management. Its mission is to develop and grow a strong, active and vibrant equestrian community in Singapore through the promotion of sport excellence (high performance) and community outreach (high participation) amongst the public. EFS endeavours to support Singapore’s equestrian athletes in their pursuit of sport excellence. On the international front, our Team Singapore athletes have constantly shown their strength and resilience with outstanding achievements and performance in major Games.

Fencing Singapore (FS) has pledged to be an inclusive National Sports Association with the commitment to promote Wheelchair Fencing. Its objective is to be an association that supports both persons with disabilities and able-bodied fencers. Being new to the disabled community in Singapore, FS strives to raise awareness on wheelchair fencing and to work with SDSC to support its events, creating opportunities and introductory programmes for people with disabilities to learn more on the sport.

Resilience and the Growth Mindset are critical for learning and managing the stressors that come with the pursuit of excellence. The Paralympic sport of Goalball provides a thriving example of how the most challenging goals can be met when individuals work together to develop a strategy for success. Your team would be guided by our athletes with visual impairment (No kidding!) as they physically and emotionally cope with the challenges presented by the game. The learning doesn’t stop after the game ends. They will also learn to apply the same thinking skills associated with Resilience and the Growth Mindset to your organization’s context, and to Life.

Athletics has been part of the Paralympic Games since 1960 and always attracts the largest number of spectators. The sport offers a wide range of competitions and events and is open to male and female athletes in all impairment groups. So, whether you want to see athletes run 100m in just over 10 seconds, marvel at a high jumper with one leg clearing 2 metres, or a thrower propelling a discus nearly 50 metres, this is the sport for you.

The Para cycling Federation of Singapore (PCFS), formerly known as the Handcycling Association of Singapore (HAS), is a non-profit national disability sports association.
