Service

Grade 11 Local Service

Niki Tippins (Head of Tennis) started a Grade 11 local service in 2010/11.

Grade 11 students coach students from Genesis School for children with Special Needs. Every Tuesday 3-4.25pm the UWCSEA students teach tennis to their "buddy". We run three blocks per year, and they stay with the same student for one block. It is an amazing experience not only for the Genesis Students but also for our Grade 11 students.

Starting from 2018/19 we are looking to grow this programme and introduce more sports to the Genesis Students, so they can experience a greater variety of sports that will also expose them to a greater range of movement and motor skill teaching. Over 3 blocks the students will teach tennis, Basketball and Football.

The prerequisite to join for the Dover G11 students is a passion for sport (you do not need to be an expert in any as you will be supported by a Coach at all times) and an ability to communicate and relate to children. Everything else we can teach!

If you are interested please email jaumeuwc@gapps.uwcsea.edu.sg. Sign up is not on the school sign up for this service.

Grade 9 College Sports Coaching Service

If you are interested in coaching U12 and U11 students as part of your college service, we will be offering tennis among other sports throughout the year. Information for tennis and all sports will be on the Activity sign up when it opens at the start of the school year. To fulfil your required hours you must do at least 2 seasons (one session per week) or 1 season (2 sessions per week). You are welcome to continue with it all year as well. ITs a great experience to learn how to coach, interact with students and give back to a sport you are passionate about.

Tennis: Tues or Thurs 3-4.25pm.
