The joy of UPSRers is the envy of PMRers

UPSR students fresh from completing their exams are now back roaming the courts in PBSM. We welcome back our small cikus Julian and Tristan. Another small ciku Kyle has joined us for 3 consecutive weeks. Frontliners also welcome back our mercurial Sharron Tan whom has also returned to the courts after arranging time with her job.

An achievement to be proud of, this week Frontliners have an attendance of 18 people besides the fact that we are now in the exam seasons. Many of our regulars had to study and control their itchy hands from playing floorball as they face PMR.

A note to the PMRer, baca buku=ibubapa gembira=hidup floorball. Remember that, and keep that in your soul. A good mathematical model from our ex-nerd(still quite) coach Kuan Yang.

In addition to the return of our lost sheeps, we have 3 new recruits this week, Su Rong, Verina(Tristan’s sister) and Gabriel Ng. Drills are pretty much the same, as Senior coach continues to execute his P.M.S.(passing movement and shots) propaganda. The training was fast paced that keeper, Shun Kai’s knees have to wear out in half time.

300 Coach Jason as usual does the lame old beginners stuff. Being 300’s coach and dealing with immature kids is definitely a big challenge.

Newcomer Su Rong definitely had a hard time training with the kids and has expressed his desire to train with older kids like those in the Spartan troops. “I love everything here.. except… err training with kids? I mean… when will they ever be serious?” lamented Su Rong.

Spartan coach Kuan Yang commented that Su Rong may be more advanced that those kids even though he is a beginner. Perhaps Su Rong might be able to make it to the Spartans? Hint hint, we shall see.

Our new recruits seem to have lots of energy and enthusiasm for the game. Gabriel, is our most smallest ciku ever recruited at age 11. Has a pair of fast and athletic legs which can be developed. Its another smaller version of Julian. Verina seems to have a natural instinct when it comes to shooting and taking first timers.

Spartan coach, Kuan Yang gave every Spartan a constraint during game time, which is, no stealing ball and no dribbling and movement while possession. This got the Spartans quite irritated. “No fun one” states fellow Spartan, Kenny Ng. “Not tiring at all” lamented most of them. The response from coach Kuan Yang “ you are not tired because you choose not to run and stay static when you are not having the ball. Run more. You should feel tired!!!”. True enough… after obeying the command, the Spartans eventually wear out. Pei Li had to admit “I’m really tired !!”

Enough said, the whole purpose of the drill is to train our passing and movement under ideal conditions. Unfortunately, good stuffs are usually boring. We need to see it as a step to the next level rather than just playing for the “feel good” session. That is the only way to the top.

To PMRers, ALL THE BEST… See you after PMR.
