Dear friends of ice skating
This year, the Singapore Ice Skating Association celebrates 25 years of promoting and growing the sport of ice skating.
While we mark our Silver Jubilee, we acknowledge that SISA’s history is intrinsically linked with the history of ice skating in Singapore which actually started in 1974.
And so on this special birthday, we commemorate SISA’s milestones and achievements, as well as pay tribute to the ones who came before us, through a limited edition commemorative book. SISA 25th Anniversary – History of Ice Skating in Singapore.
2023 is especially poignant as Singapore’s only Olympic-sized rink closes this year.
While SISA is working on a new purpose-built ice rink and training facility, there will be a period during which there is no full-sized rink for our athletes. Singapore will also not be able to host competitions which are an important part of athlete development.
It is therefore essential for our skaters to travel overseas for training and competitions.
To support our community, SISA will establish the 25th Anniversary Fund which will provide funding for our skaters, coaches and technical officials through our SISA High-Performance Sport (“HPS”) System to encourage them to continue to pursue their dreams.
We do hope you will journey with us and support our sport as we look back at the history of ice skating in Singapore and as we prepare for the next chapter.
All donations are 2.5 times tax deductible. As a gesture of appreciation for your contribution, all donations of $180 and above will receive a complimentary copy of our limited edition and not-for-sale commemorative book.
Thank you for helping us keep ice skating alive in Singapore, and for supporting our skaters, coaches and officials!

With the World Ice Skating Day, the mission is to celebrate the spirit of sport and create an annual global ice-skating festival. We wish to popularize ice skating amongst children and young people and unite people from different communities around the world.

The Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) has launched the Singapore Olympic Foundation-Peter Lim Scholarship application for this year’s awards on their website – www.sof.sg. Submissions will close on Tuesday, 15 February 2022, 4.00pm (online and hard copy delivered to SNOC).
As we enter into another year of uncertainty, they have taken into consideration the lack of competitions and suitable benchmarks to determine the merit of the applications. As such, they have continued to apply similar qualification criteria for this year so that they can continue to support our athletes and students’ sporting endeavours.
This year’s encouragement awards’ quantum will remain similar to 2021’s so that more recipients qualify. The qualification criteria will still be largely based on the applicant’s household income and a nominal activity in their sports.
In the application form, the applicant is required to obtain endorsements from their schools. For the high performance u18 applicants, there is an accompanying NSA Assessment Form which requires details of the applicant’s coaching, training and competition plans for FY 2022.
For ice-skating athletes applying for the High Performance U18 category, please contact SISA (administration@sisa.org.sg) by 19 January 2022.
