GAS To Fuel The Flame

Training this week was less serious and more fun-based (an unusual occurence for Mr. Jason) which was surprising, considering that Dalat League is just the week after next. Perhaps Mr. Jason thought the players needed a break from his autocracy, and thus did not even scream at the players once.

There was one new face in the court this week, invited by Miss Tania Loke. Here the club officially welcomes Sonia Frances Gopal into Frontliners Floorball Club. Training started off with Snakes (obviously) and ended with... some weirdly named drill... something like galah panjang where a team of four players had to dribble past four lines with another four players guarding each line, turn around, get back through and shoot.

There were more laughs than serious plays as this drill apparently turned out to be based on survival of the fastest, for the slowest player got all the attention from the players guarding the lines. This drill showed how much the players have developed, some, as Mr. Jason says when danger comes "face it head-on" or "wait for the openings".

Then came the game, but it was slightly different, for Mr. Jason was looking to select the players for Dalat League. Divided into groups of three (mixed), the teams used the two entrances of the court for the allotted place for substitutions (albeit inevitably getting a bit cramped as everyone craned their necks in to watch), to simulate the real deal during tournaments and friendlies.

Later on during the team talk the one resounding observation that everyone had made was how Tania had improved in her game, being able to have fun on the ball and pass with vision. Which gets us back to the title. GAS (get a stick) To Fuel The Flame. Tremendous improvement was shown by Tania after borrowing a proper stick from the club only last week and practicing daily.

Only one more training left until Dalat league. Will the players be trailblazers, running high on fire and desire to excel?

Come for training and find out.
