RECORD ATTENDANCE !!!

This week, the FRONTLINERS FLOORBALL Club has achieve a milestone with a record 23 people attendance. This is the all-time highest attendance in the history of the club. With 7 newcomers(including long lost players that decided to pick up floorball again) joining us, the club is expanding in its number. Frontliners now re-combined the boys and girls together.

We want to welcome newcomer, Tania Loke, Aaron Raj, Kar Liang, Aaron Gan, Pr Thomas Barnabas. We also welcome our long lost players such as Tabitha, Elisha. This week's training was also further lifted up with visitors such as Christopher(team USM), Wai Wai(ContactSports). Another very special person that came to watch us train is the mercurial Deswynn Wan(Salibandy).

As the Frontliners Floorball Club strives towards professionalism, reinforcements was brought into the club to beef up the squad. The club has secured the services of former Technical Advisor, Khor Kuan Yang as the Chief Coach of the Frontliners. To add to the new reinforcement package, the club has also brought in, Special Goalkeeping Coach, Kao Lin Ken. With these two experienced and knowledgeable personnels, we believe that they will be able to impart floorball know-hows into our players.

This week was their first time in operation. Coach Kuan Yang did some physical suicides to keep all of us fit. In addition to that coach Kuan Yang made the players do sneak shots, 2 circuit drills, and a one-on-one. Finally he separated the guys into 2 lines and girls into 2 lines and played a game of 4 minutes each. Coach Kuan Yang's quote of the day was "guys... stay calm, stay calm."

The players were also lifted with the pressence of the flamboyant special goalkeeper coach, Kao Lin Ken. His movements mesmerized many of the players. Most importantly the charisma that he possesses, brought up the atmosphere in the training. Unfortunately there was no other goalkeeper for him to train. The club is now hunting for the "chosen one" out there to safeguard the goalpost. Anybody interested in goalkeeping?

Wai Wai praised the special goalkeeper coach " Having Lin Ken in training is so exciting. He is just so semangat in his goalkeeping !!!. He is also very encouraging to the players. "

Finally the time was passed back to the CEO of the club, Jason Chan. CEO Jason explained to the players regarding the new reinforcements brought into the club. He also explained about the new PFA registration ruling. The vision of the club was also shared to the players on the club's direction.

"After discussing with chief coach Kuan Yang, we have identified 3 major drawbacks amongst our players. We are relatively weak in our individual technical skills relatively to the other clubs. We also lack organisation in our play as a team. Finally the most obvious thing is our lack of match and competition experience." explained CEO Jason.

The players were then urged to sign up for the club. Those whom are committed and willing to go the distance signed up. These players are then registered under Frontliners for the new PFA ruling.

CEO Jason explained the post-YouthWave plans ahead, "We have a long term development plan solve those 3 problems. It is a 2-year plan. This will include a series of tournaments and friendly matches. It is obvious that the club has many weaknesses. What we are trying to do is to tackle 20% of the problem that will give us 80% yield. This will probably increase our productivity by approximately 30%. That is our aim as far as we can see. "

Asked on how was the training, Sarah Ng said"Its really encouraging to see many people coming today."

Coach Kuan Yang shared "It is really good to see many people coming this week. The energy level is also different now. All of us are more excited and full of energy. Keep it up."

The club is now expanding. The new changes will be the key elements that will propel us forward into the future. We believe in our players. THE FUTURE IS OURS !!!!
