      Depends from Sch to Sch. For some, it was notified via email. For the rest, cca tchr called personally notifying of trial, interview and outcome.
      Electronic email already there. What I meant is the extra personal touch by the CCA teacher beyond the SOP by the school is what makes it more impressive. Differs of cos from CCA to CCA.

        This is what I heard:
        In a top IP boys Sch, selection is via elimination by pitting players against each other in a singles match (you can go figure out how they select the players to pit against) . The last few standing probably are the ones that moved on to the interview round.
        Yes this is also what I heard based on DS’s former classmate experience. And in the end they only selected 2-3 to offer. This was for badminton.

          For parents who had experience with sports trial (eg badminton), can share how would the selection be done? Roughly how many students playing in total and the chances to be shortlisted is usually low?
          my gal went for cedar badminton trial last week, she said round 1 includes testing your basic skills and then a short sparring session with the seniors.

          the teacher in charge said they invited 50 students for trials, but my gal said only 45 turned up and only 14 proceeded to round 2. She said the teacher said they may select up to 4-6 students.

                I see. Thanks parents for sharing. I think 50 for trial not so scary. I heard some schools got a few hundreds? Not sure how true is that.

                      My friend’s son cannot remember what he wrote. Is there a way to login to see the DSA application details again?

                      If so, is it on MOE DSA website or is there another link?

                        I dont think so. The portal closes once application deadline passes.

                        If the applicant did not screenshot or print a copy of his submission, then cannot retrieve.
