Sports Programs

Values Centric And Mentoring Program

Dream+ programs focus on using sports as the platform to inculcate positive values in the youths. Sports provide the environment for the youths to demonstrate not only their physical abilities, but also their cognitive and affective resilience. Our programs emphasize on building good character and positive habits as opposed to emphasis on results. Some of our programs include Dream+ Mentoring Program and Program for Active Learning (PAL).

Dream+ began a mentoring scheme for the youths since August 2010. The highly positive response six months from the schemes start led to Dream+ managing more projects such as -- Youth In Action (YIA) and Engagement of Boys (EPB). Our mentoring style differs from the traditional one. We use what we know best, sports, as the engagement tool to form that much- needed building block with our mentees. Our mentors too are also within the same age group and this smoothens the engagement process as the mentees open up to our mentors like a big brother big sister.

Excellence Centric And Dream+ Sports Academy Program (DSAP)

Dream+ provides coaching expertise from elite national athletes that have represented and achieved national colours for Singapore. Our coaching model termed Dream+ Sports Academy Program (DSAP) consists of 3 phases- identifying, Nurturing and Championing.

The identifying phase consists of a battery of sports-specific and fitness-based tests that measures the strengths of the youth and fast tracks him or her to the sport most suited. Every participant will go through a battery of 16 different stations which covers a few sporting aspects of sports such as agility, strength, balance and power. Upon completion, each participant will receive a personalized score card which will provide the recommendation of sports based on their potential.

In the Nurturing phase, the program is tailored to the ability of the youth, based in effective training methodologies from latest sports science research. In the Championing phase, the Dream+ athlete will provide mentorship not only in the sports arena, but also in aspects such as handling the media and performing in high-pressure situations.

Sports Development

Competition

Events for sports development incorporate the elements of competition and challenge. Competition allows the youth to benchmark one is own performance not just in comparison to others, but also to showcase the progress he or she has made. In Dream+ events, there is also emphasis on sports spectators to provide support and encouragement for their fellow youths. Examples include Competitions, Friendly Matches and Sports Day.

Motivational talks/Workshops

These talks and workshops see our athletes share their sports experience as well as talk about the traits needed to succeed. Most of the literature at these talks is based on the challenges and successes our athletes face. Some of the topics in the Motivational Talk portion of the event include:

i. Perseverance and determination
ii. Coping with challenges
iii.Dealing with stress in a high-intensity situation

The workshop portion of the event will equip the audience with skills and new methodologies topics that are relevant to athletes at all levels and that will provide a skill set to help improve sports performance. Some of these topics include:

i. Health and wellness
ii. Stretching and recovery
iii.Nutrition eat right, perform max
iv. Sports clinic (cycling, badminton, etc.)
v. Mental preparedness.

Most of our clients like the X-Sports program as it gives them a competitive environment where they can face opposing teams.

Kondition Program

Kondition Program, as the name suggests, caters to anyone who wants to improve his or her IPPT scores. Be it preparation for National Service enlistment or to ace that reservist call-up. The program is run such that participants go through the same stations as the IPPT test a reassurance that there will be no surprises during the real test. Dream+ also caters this program in a slightly modified way to suit the students in schools taking their NAPFA test.

Event Management

Dream+ can also run entire sports events like Sports Fiesta Day. Dream+ athletes can run sports introduction classes as well as organize competitions during the fiesta. A family fun day is also another event that our clients always ask for. Dream+ is more than willing to sit down with potential companies to further discuss the event.
