This is it!

Of course we are not speaking of the end of the team.

Nonetheless, here we have a photo of the complete (almost) team! It's been a looong time since we posted a team photo. We sure do hope the sea of red is not scaring you. We apologise for a small photo as it was taken off a phone camera. Credits to Captain Salasiah for the photo!

Narrow defeat

Some 2 weeks back, the team had a friendly with Millenia Institute and came up short, losing 2-3. The new fresh(wo)men had their fair share of their first ever friendly with their team mates. Here are some photos from the match:

Perspective: Philosophy

"A good training environment", says coach Arasu on what his philosophy is.

Of course, that is definitely important for the players when it comes to training or game time on the same field. Imagine if a team comes for training every week on a muddy soaked field, with holes in many areas. Would they be motivated to come for the next few training sessions? Chances are highly unlikely. Everyone loves a good training ground or at least, a well maintained training ground. No one likes returning home to a messed up bed everyday.

This past week, the team touched on 5 v 2 passing, quick feet and passing and not forgetting the other component - Agility. Week in week out, the team had been working hard on their passing and trying to familiarize with each other's playing style.

All is all a good week and remember, check back for more interesting news!

Glitz 2011

Once again, the annual Sports Excellence Awards was recently over. That night, many sports athletes received their respective awards for their achievement, passion and contribution in their sport in one way or another. Needless to say, the team had a number of players who also received their respective awards.

Also, if you followed us on our twitter, we mentioned that v-Captain Sheu was one of the emcees for the night!

Let's get to the photos first!

A huge thank you for their contribution to the team in their 3 years course of study and we wish them well in their future endeavours! We hope to see them come back once in awhile and we definitely hope this is not the last goodbye!

Yet another great night of Sports Excellence Awards and we hope to have more awardees for next year!

Pass and shoot!

This evening the team had a (near) 3 hours of training filled with game play and passing. The team has been practising their game play in the past few trainings, focusing on their passing. Passing, passing and more passing. In between, the team also did some jogging and running and rounded up the session with everyone's favorite, shooting.

Pretty humid weather and we must say kudos to them in enduring the bad weather at training!

We still owe you a video on Aisyah's goal and what's more, v-captain, Sheu was one of the emcees at the annual Sports Excellence Awards (also known as Glitz) on Thursday night! Waaay to go and we will have some photos from the event!
