In a bold move for long-term development, the Tchoukball Association of Singapore (TBAS) sent a younger contingent to compete against more experienced opponents.

SINGAPORE — Despite facing challenges during their preparation for the tournament, Singapore showcased their tenacity and skill, ultimately securing three silver medals and a bronze at the second Asia Youth Pacific Youth Beach Championships, which took place from August 18 to 20 in Kaohsiung, Chinese Taipei.

TBAS sent a total of four teams to the competition, three boys’ and one girls’ team. Despite the challenge of limited training in proper beach conditions prior to their trip to Chinese Taipei, the Team Singapore athletes displayed tremendous determination and resilience in all their matches. Both the Singapore Tchoukball boys’ and girls’ Under-18 squads faced Chinese Taipei on the final day of the Asia Youth Pacific Youth Beach Championships. Unfortunately, they fell short of a victory and had to settle for the silver medals. The boys’ U18 team suffered a 47-31 defeat, while the girls’ U18 team lost with a score of 42-22. The boys’ U15 team secured a silver medal, and the boys’ U12 team claimed the bronze medal.

In other developments, two of Tchoukball Singapore’s teams have been nominated for Team of The Year at the Singapore Sports Award Night 2023. The Singapore national women’s tchoukball team and the girls’ U18 team are nominated in the open and youth categories respectively.
