Frontliners Training 160208

The last week of training before the Penang Open Challenge. Are the Frontliners ready? By the looks of it, they are improving vastly under the coaching of Mr. Jason, but are they really ready for the real thing, or will this be another disappointment?

This week's attendance was just nice with 15 people. There were two new faces on the court, the club officially welcomes them to the club. As usual, training started off with warm-up, snakes, and then a 3v2 showdown.

The coach then started game time. He separated the players into three teams. One was led by himself, another by Kuan Yang, and the third, which comprised of all newbies, without a leader.

Mr. Jason strictly advised everyone not to injure themselves. The game began and went on for two hours. There was a five minute break for every half hour. There were some pretty good shots from Koay Yi Lin and Kannan throughout the game. Kuan Yang's shots were, as usual, amazing.

At the start of the game play was not so smooth, but as time went on it improved. Mr. Jason's game-play was nice with his pretty shots and dribbling (goreng-goreng).

Later on, Mr. Jason briefed the team and showed them how to take penalty shots. He also briefed them about Penang League and the rules, asking everyone to come next Saturday morning also, saying there would be a small team-talk then. (This much is known: Mr. Jason is in charge of the first division team: Frontliners Spartans, and Kuan Yang is in charge of the second division team: Frontliners Trojans.)
