LATEST UPDATE: 424 people have done the survey. Thanks! I’m aiming for at least 500-750 for the results to be statistically rigorous. Based on this sample of readers, the average age of Red Sports readers is 19. The guys to girls ratio is 73% to 27%.
Hi athletes and sports fans,
I started this website because I believe that Singapore sports, particularly school sports, deserve more attention. Pick up a newspaper in most countries in the world and the sports section is firstly about that country’s sports followed by international sports. In Singapore, it’s perversely the reverse. Why that is can be debated until we are blue in the face, but never mind. No point complaining. Let’s just change it ourselves.
Hence, Red Sports.
If you believe that Red Sports fills a role, I need your help in participating in a survey. As you know, I’m depending on advertising to help cover costs and make a living. I promised when I started that I would not solicit students, teachers or schools for funding and I will keep that promise. My aim is to speak to advertisers. However, to speak to them, I need to tell them who is reading Red Sports. Right now, I can’t prove who is reading it. I will not sell the information to any third party. That’s a promise.
So whether or not you are presently a school athlete or working adult, as long as you read Red Sports regularly, I welcome your participation in this survey.
Will you help me? If so, please click on the highlighted words below:
Red Sports. Always Game.

Redsports keep going.
Good reports. I sported your website in my toolbar this evening under my firefox website.
Came as a surprise as I never noticed it before. The links to the cheap fares between Toronto and Singapore is very helpful. Need to tell my Toronto friends about it so that they can access them.
Keep up the good work as you gather more support from contributors and sponsors.D
continue the good work yea…god bless 🙂
Hello Yvonne and Fong,
I didn’t know that lifesaving was a sport in Singapore. Please feel free to send a story over. Same with the primary school sports events.
This site works best when people are keen to write up stories themselves and send it in.
Right now, let me tell you how many people are working on this site full-time – zero.
I work on REDSPORTS.SG part-time because I have to do other photography work to support this website. So not possible to cover more than what you see now. In fact, even if there were 20 people working on REDSPORTS.SG, it would not be possible to cover all that happens out there.
But there is a standing invitation to anyone who is sincerely promoting their story. I guarantee you, your story will always find the light of day here on REDSPORTS.SG.
You send it, I’ll post it.

Hi!
Keen on checking out Lifesaving sport too?
Lifesaving in Singapore is really low profile but I really hope to see some coverage about the sport.
Thanks!
Yvonne
