Have you ever felt like PE lessons were too short, or wanted a safe space to learn various sports regardless of your skill level and play recreationally with like-minded individuals? If your answer is yes, then RI Sports Recreation Club is the CCA for you! 

In RI SRC, members learn and play sports that they are passionate in, but with no scary commitments or competitions (excluding internal ones). If you are looking for a CCA that can help relieve your stress from JC through sports, look no further!

CCA Previews ‘26: Recreational Badminton 
Reading Time: 2 minutes

By Mikel Kwa Pek Teng (2025 Secretary)

Academics have been the focus of our lives, especially in JC, where every day there is always work to be done; be it the seemingly unending lectures or the limitless tutorials. Yet, I strive for a JC life filled with lasting friendships and memories, and I doubt that I’m the only one who is eager to strike that balance between living a fulfilling JC experience and working towards academic goals.  

Along the journey of finding that perfect balance, you may turn to a sports or performing arts CCA to strike that balance between work and play. Or perhaps, you may choose a less stressful CCA which provides you with more time to realise your goals such as academic goals and personal aspirations. If the latter resonates with your heart, Recreational Badminton might just be the CCA for you!

CCA Previews ’26: Shooting
Reading Time: 3 minutes

Tucked behind the school, unbeknownst to most students, hides Raffles Institution’s very own shooting range—a second home to our shooters. Singapore’s strict gun laws have limited one’s knowledge to merely Nerf guns, yet Raffles Shooting is more than familiar with the feeling of firing a shot.  

As the range door swings open, everyone rushes to collect their weapons, fill their air cylinders, and hurry to their respective lanes. The witty banter subsides into tranquility. Only clicks from the dryfiring of guns can be heard. When the first shot is fired, nobody flinches—as everyone is deeply immersed in training.

CCA Previews ’26: Squash
Reading Time: 2 minutes

By Squash Exco ’25 

Adapted from CCA Previews ‘25 

Squash is a high-intensity sport where players alternate in striking the ball with their rackets onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. How do you win? You simply hit the ball such that the opponent is not able to return the shot. Do not underestimate the tiny, black ball! When hit with the right technique, it can reach unbelievable speeds of up to 280 km/h. (Fun fact: Squash is the only racket sport where the opponent stands next to you rather than opposite you!)
