Singapore's table tennis star Feng Tianwei is introducing the sport to children as young as three through a new pilot initiative. The programme aims to develop early interest and foundational skills in table tennis among the preschool demographic.

Olympian Feng Tianwei has partnered with Preschool Market to launch a pilot table tennis programme targeting children in their early years. The initiative will see around 35 preschoolers participate in the scheme, introducing them to the sport in a format suited to their age group.
The programme represents an effort to build a stronger foundation for table tennis in Singapore by engaging children at a younger age than traditionally seen in competitive sports development. By introducing the sport during the preschool years, organisers hope to foster long-term interest and participation.
Feng, who has represented Singapore at multiple Olympic Games, has previously been involved in grassroots sports development initiatives. The pilot programme with Preschool Market represents an expansion of efforts to make table tennis more accessible to young children across the region.
Details regarding the structure of the preschool programme, including session frequency and duration, were not immediately available. The success of the pilot may determine whether the initiative expands to additional preschools in Singapore.
