[quote=\"bjlsh\"]Hi. What about Badminton CCA? Is it difficult to join for s1 students? Thanks a lot

Hi! My DD is in DHS Y2 Badminton CCA. She was a non DSA, offered Badminton after sports trials. There were 4 DSA girls, 3 non DSA in 2015 Y1 Badminton. 1 non DSA girl dropped out this mid yr. Training is 3x a wk, 4-7pm including sch hol. Feel free to ask if you have more queries re badminton.

What Abt the chances for boys? How many DsA and non Dsa? My DS is eager to join badminton team... Thanks[/quote]Hi Mummy_Tang
Reply by DD...
Boys' Teams not very consistent.
Her yr 2015 very unusual coz many boys are too good. Total 10 boys, min 7 DSA.

This yr 2016, total 5/6 boys, prob 1/2 boys DSA. Not very strong according to my DD.

So for 2017 Y1 boys, 2 DSA boys already started training with them this Dec.

Usually for both boys n girls team, they will take in min 7 students.
Just go through all the sports trial and see what are the ones being offered n decide fr there. Be prepared for 2nd n 3rd choice. My DD went in via T-score, was offered softball n badminton after trial. Badminton was her 1st choice CCA.
Hope this helps a lil..

You're most welcome, Mummy_Tang!
Lol.. my DD definitely doesn't look forward to school reopen. It's a crazy hectic schedule without social life for her during school days.
All the best to your DS! May he enjoy learning in DHS n make many new friends!

Hi MarMa,

‘Crazy hectic’ starts from which year?
Yr DD is year 3 in 2017?

[MarMa]

Hi Mummy_Tang,

Yes my DD is Y3 in 2017.
To me, ‘crazy hectic’ started in Y1 right away. 3x/wk reach home after badminton abt 7.45-8pm. They always delay in releasing them at 7pm. Come home, hv a quick dinner n shower, usually start clearing hw or prep tests abt 9pm. Sleeps abt midnight. 11pm would be a luxury! Some of her friends sleep after midnight. So deprived of sleep every wkday getting abt 6hrs sleep.

Wow! We parents will usually feel heart pain cos not enough time.. But most impt is the kid, they must feel happy.. when happy they feel motivated.. I hope I am right... As parents will support all the way!

Any other DHS parents here? Very quiet.. Hope to know more parents here to know/discover more Abt school ..
