I guess my question was, do they generally bring in enough to complete a whole team via DSA or only a small number. Given their strength in football, I assume it's closer to the former?

TK Sec football coaches are well-known figures in the local football scene. If your son is playing since K2, and I assumed for an established club since his primary school doesn't seem to have a football team, his coach would probably know them. It shouldn't be too difficult for his coach, if he's tuned in to the local school scene, to know who are the players being lured by the school.

That said, football is a large team sport. Each C (or B) div team is largely made up of 20 to 30 players. There is no way a school can and will bring in that many via the DSA process. While DSA players are expected to be the 'key' players, it's really down to the individual's attitude and skillsets that determine whether they make it to the playing team.

Does anyone know if a boy coming in not through DSA has a chance to get into the football team? My son applied but didn't even get an interview. He has been playing since K2.

Its not easy getting into TKSS football team . My son couldnt get into TKSS football team even though he has been playing football since he was 2 years old and he represented his primary school football team which won the national championship.
From what I understand, they only offer DSA trials to school team players.
The teacher in charge of football is Mr Soh.

Ever since the current principal came into TKSS, she removed house colour tees . There is no sports day for students.

It looks like my son is going to strike lucky. We decided to take a chance and put TKSS as his 1st choice knowing that unless there was a massive leap in COP, he would get in. He plays in a position which is not so popular so he is probably going to get into the CCA.

BTW, it's not true that they only offer DSA to school team players. A few of his club team-mates did go for trials. They came from primary schools with no football.
