When you think of sailing, what comes to mind? Popeye the Sailor Man or Pirates of the Caribbean? Take a mental image of a sailboat, shrink it, and paint the boat white; now you’ve got yourself picturing a modern sailboat!  We want to put it out there—sailing is not the same as canoeing or dragon-boating, contrary to popular belief. Performing the rowing action and claiming it is sailing in front of a sailor is a foolproof way of rocking the boat!

People have many different impressions of what softball is. Some see it as merely a game involving heavy equipment, awkward tan lines and bruises. Others are just perplexed by the fact that a softball is not actually soft. For us, softball is a sport that brings different groups of people together, a sport that brings us joy!

Ever wondered what it’s like to try a new team sport? Raffles Ultimate (RU) might just be the place for you! 

Ultimate is a non-contact, self-refereed team sport, involving 7 players per team. Through communication and persistence, the team must work together to successfully pass the disc to a teammate in the end zone to score a point.

For many of us, physical activities, especially in the form of sports, are an indispensable part of our lives. Everyone stands to gain much from sports, be it a team sport like football, martial arts such as taekwondo, or even more skill-based sports such as bowling.
