Volleyball is a complex game of simple skills. The ball is spiked from up to 3.65 metres and takes fractions of a second to travel from the spiker to the receiver. Within this time frame, the receiver must decide where to pass the ball in the blink of an eye. Indeed, volleyball is a game of constant motion and players cannot risk missing a second of the game.

Walk past the amphitheater on any given day and you may find some of us indulging in our favourite past time: a scrim! We’re loud, and probably even rowdy. If you’re not one of us, it might seem as if we are engaging in an unfulfilling, meaningless activity that you have very little interest in. But that’s not the case; as individuals, we may not look like much, but as Ultimate players, we are so much more. We are a family of individuals driven by our passion for the sport to give it our best in every game we play. And most importantly, we always have one goal in mind: to succeed.

Raffles Netballers— The ones you can hear screaming miles away in the toilets during our ice baths after matches. The ones who randomly greet each other along the corridors, in the canteen and even in the lecture theaters with bear hugs and loud screams, as if the last time we had seen each other was 10 years ago when in reality, it was probably just the previous day. While many of our peers often question our affectionate greetings in public, it is through these small actions that we encourage each other and gain that small amount of energy needed to push through school after a tiring training the day before.

Cricket – A gentleman’s game played by millions all over the globe, and one of Raffles Institution’s oldest CCAs. With 11 players on each team, this game is truly the epitome of a team sport with players batting, bowling and fielding in tandem to achieve the common goal of victory.

In retrospect, 2018 was an extremely eventful year for Raffles Tennis, ranging from our ‘A’ Division campaign, our tennis camp, as well as numerous other gatherings and meals at various locations. These included potlucks, Thanksgiving celebrations, and postseason celebrations where we engaged in many activities such as swimming, foosball, and karaoke, amongst many others. During our ‘A’ Division season, we trained extremely hard and gave our best in all our matches against many different schools with varying playstyles. Our girls team emerged as champions, beating Anglo Chinese Junior College by a comfortable scoreline of 4-1 in the finals, while our boys team fought to the bitter end in a nail-biting 3-2 loss to Anglo Chinese School (Independent), emerging as 1st runners-up.
