Response to parliamentary question on Singapore Tennis Association’s block-booking and utilisation of public tennis courts

1779. Mr Fadli Fawzi: To ask the Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (a) whether the Singapore Tennis Association is allowed to block-book public tennis courts; (b) whether Sport Singapore monitors if public tennis court bookings are actually used; (c) if so, whether unutilised bookings can be released to the public for same-day booking; and (d) if not, why not.

Response:

  1. National Sports Associations (NSAs) are given some priority for the booking of sports facilities to support development programmes, competitions, and national team training. This includes the Singapore Tennis Association’s use of tennis courts at The Kallang and ActiveSG facilities.

  2. The Kallang Group and SportSG monitor the utilisation of these facilities. We have recently reviewed the STA’s use of public tennis facilities and have asked the Association to optimise its court bookings so that more courts can be made available to the public.

  3. As a first step, STA is consolidating all national squad training at the Kallang Tennis Hub. It is also streamlining its training schedules to maximise court availability for public use. These measures have already enabled more courts to be released for public booking.

  4. We will continue to monitor utilisation of sports facilities and optimise their use where possible. Our objective is to ensure that these facilities are well utilised while balancing the needs of high-performance sport, community programmes and recreational users.
