Our Story

More than just a toy.

Twenty years ago a handful of players met in a community centre with a shared obsession. Nobody thought it would become this.

Who We Are

The Yo-Yo Association of Singapore started with a belief that most people still don't get. Yo-yo stays with you. It is a skill, an art form, and a way to grow as a person. We saw that early. We're still proving it.

How It Started

A small group of passionate players met up to practise, share tricks, and push each other. Word spread. More people showed up. What started as casual meetups turned into something bigger. A community. Then a national platform for yo-yo development in Singapore.

Growing the Movement

Over the years we expanded beyond our core community. We now work with schools across Singapore, community organisations, and youth enrichment platforms. Through structured programs, workshops, and events, we create opportunities for people of all ages to learn and grow through yo-yo.

A Platform for Excellence

YYAS runs the Singapore Yo-Yo Championships. It's the nation's biggest competition. Players use it to show their skills on a national stage, challenge themselves against the best, and represent Singapore internationally.

A Community for All

At its core YYAS is about people. We see young beginners who just got their first throw, seniors who thought they'd missed their chance, and students who needed something to focus on. Yo-yo brings them together through a shared journey of learning and growth.

What We Believe

Yo-yo develops skills that transfer far beyond the string. It builds focus and discipline, resilience and perseverance, confidence and self-expression, and a sense of connection to others. These skills go beyond yo-yo. You use them in job interviews, in relationships, and in every area that matters.

Looking Ahead

Our vision is to position Singapore as a leading hub for yo-yo. We want to lead in skill level, community, programs that help players grow, and opportunities for the next generation.

Join the Journey

Whether you're picking up a yo-yo for the first time or you've been throwing for twenty years, there's a place for you here. We'd love to meet you.
