Coach Yi Ling

Yi Ling started off in Artistic Gymnastics for 6 years where she represented CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School (P), where she clinched multiple medals and trophies in the yearly Inter-School Competition. She officially joined DGA in 2021 as she wanted to share her love for gymnastics to the community. 

 

Additionally, Yi Ling is also a versatile dancer that is trained in classical ballet, chinese and contemporary dance and was mentored under established dance instructors/choreographers such as Mr Low Ee Chiang, Mr Zaini Tahir, Ms Jacqueline Yap and Ms Naomi Tan to name a few. She has competed in several local and international dance competitions and clinched multiple awards, including Get The Beat, Singapore Challenge Cup, Asia Arts Festival and many more. Yi Ling also heads the Dance Program at Rhythmix and has choreographed award-winning pieces for her students. 

​

Apart from coaching Rhythmic Gymnastics at DGA, Yi Ling also ventured into Aesthetic Group Gymnastics (AGG) and successfully passed her judging exams and is now a qualified National AGG Judge. Yi Ling is often described as a coach that is strict but caring and loving towards her students. She hopes to inspire her gymnasts by constantly reminding them to take charge of their own learning and be proud of their achievements regardless big or small. As such, she was awarded the Outstanding Coach of the Year (Gymnastics for All) 2022 by Singapore Gymnastics. Her hardwork and passion over the years also earned her the position of National Levels Program Head at DGA as she mentors a new generation of coaches under her wings.
