5 RAJA SINGH Raja Singh has always been an athletic and sporty individual. At a young age, he represented his primary and secondary schools in athletic events; when he joined the SAF Boy s School at the age of 16, he joined the rugby team; and even when he was enlisted into the Singapore Armed Forces as a commando, his love for sports led him to the boxing team, where he eventually became a coach for his fellow soldiers. Unfortunately, his athletic and career aspirations had to come to a screeching halt due to an accident that left him wheelchair bound. The accident occurred on 2 July, Due to the nature and physical requirements of being an SAF Commando, Raja had to be transferred to another department where he could fulfill administrative responsibilities instead. His body could no longer handle the intensive physical tasks that a commando has to accomplish, but unsurprisingly to the people who knew him, his spirit was not weakened. He still had an intense love for sports, and it was this passion that led him to pick up wheelchair sports. Within three years of the accident, Raja was selected to represent Singapore at the 1986 Far East and South Pacific (FESPIC) Games for the Disabled in Indonesia, which at the time was the largest multi-sports games in the Asian and South Pacific region. He came back home with two Silver and two Bronze medals from the 100m, 200m, 400m, and 800m events. In 1989, he returned back to the FESPIC Games in Japan and won 4 Gold and 3 Silver medals in the 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5000m, Relay 4x100m, 4x200m, and 4x400m events. By 1994, Raja had become a multi-gold medalist and a paralympian. He took part in the 1988 Seoul Paralympics and the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. He was also bestowed the honor of being the Chef De Mission for the 2009 ASEAN Para Games that was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In 2009, in an effort to help nurture future para athletes, Raja joined the Singapore Disability Sports Council and served as a member in the Executive Board until Since 2014, he has been serving as the Vice President of SDSC and he continues to inspire other athletes with his infectious passion for competitive sports.

The throw-in player is allowed to roll the ball to the field, and the ball must touch the ground as soon as it is thrown by hand. There is no offside rule. SPORT CLASSES FT5 FT6 FT7 FT8 In this sport class, athletes have hypertonia or spasticity in both lower limbs and to some degree in both upper limbs. The players have difficulties when running, turning and stopping because of an activity limitation in the lower limbs. Athletes are affected by coordination and balance problems in all four limbs and trunk. FT6 players typically have difficulties in dribbling the ball when running, accelerating and stopping. This sport class is designated to hemiplegic players, meaning that only one side of their body is affected, causing the players to walk and run with a limp. On the impaired side the athlete might have problems balancing, so that often the impaired leg is used to shoot the ball. This sport class describes the minimum eligible for CP Football. You may not see the impact of impairment when watching the athlete run or control the ball. However, involuntary muscle contractions and hesitation before explosive movements do constitute activity limitations in comparison to able-bodied players. 61
