—School sports player
(Gabriel Leow)
(Gabriel Leow)
Stand-
—Feels that current safety practices could be better enforced and tightened in order to better safeguard the players. At the same time, he does not want regulations to go too far in restricting sport activities until they stifle fun and free play; some level of risk must be accepted.
—Teacher-coach (Poh Wei Suen)
Stand-
—Feels that the most important factor in reducing accidents is not in more regulations but rather in educating students about fair play and inculcating values of sportsmanship. Over-regulation, by preventing students from failing on their own, can prevent them from learning these values. At the same time, feels that teachers in best position to achieve this, not professional coaches.

Sports fan (Vincent Tay)
Stand-
—Wants sports in schools to be engaging and entertaining, and to make students interested in sports. Therefore feels that schools and athletes should not prize winning above the sport itself, but recognizes that some competitive element must exist. Feels that maintaining safety is fundamental to making sport enjoyable.
—Local educated layperson (Gabriel Chua)
—Stand
—Feels that the primary goal of sports in schools is to keep students active and to teach them sportsmanship, teamwork and other values.
