Monthly Fitness

After the recent 2-1 friendly victory over Meridian JC, the team has been informed that they will have a beep test taken at the end of every month to keep track of their fitness level. The first beep test starts as of today and no one is to miss it, even as for the upcoming ones. This will definitely benefit everyone as it will not only ensure that they have good fitness but also ensure that they are always ready for any friendlies and be physically ready for any long endurance runs.

In another 2 days' time, the team will be taking a combination of Physical and Technical test. Let's hope that everyone will be well prepared and do well for it!

Fitness and more fitness

It has definitely been a great holiday and semester break for the team in the last December, while some prepare for Christmas, some enjoying the holidays and perhaps enjoying the last of 2007. But before calling it yet another year, the team returns back for off the field physical training to regain back any fitness lost and also to work on their body posture and movement, balance and speed.

While the team works hard on their fitness at the moment, their field goes underway for a 3-month overhaul! By mid March, the team will be kicking on a brand new synthetic field, glistening with light! That would serve as a huge relief to the team, as they would have to worry less about getting all covered and soaked in the brown soil each time when there is a downpour.

It's only 4 days away before everyone returns back to school for yet another last 4 weeks! It will be yet another daily grueling routine but with soccer trainings within the week as well, it should spice up the school days.

Lastly, Team Republic's WST blog would like to wish everyone a very belated Happy New Year!
