Traning 251008: Fashion-Conscious Frontliners

Training was held at the same time at the same place. Frontliners set a new record of 20 attendees this week (applause) beating the previous record of 18 set not too long ago. Let's keep that up and smash more attendance records! This week, we welcome Derrick to the Frontliners family. One notable absentee was Pei Li, still out due to illness. Get well soon, Pei Li! Hope to see you back on the courts next week!

Training started with the usual warm-up. The players were then paired up to do passing. Players were then separated: juniors under Coach Jason and seniors under Kuan Yang. The juniors were taught the basic stuff while on the other side of the court; the seniors' drills were emphasized a lot on passing, movement and shooting. The pace started slowly but soon picked up once players were familiar with the drill. The seniors were paired up to do more passing. This time, looking down at the ball was not allowed.

At 11 pm, it was game time. 4-on-4 (juniors) and 5-on-5 (seniors). It looked like the juniors were enjoying themselves very much, running for every ball and never seemed to be tired.

Training came to a close at 12.00 pm. After some talk from Coach Jason and Kuan Yang, the players were dismissed. Many of them were checking out sticks and commented on how they did not like the colour of some sticks. (Don't be fussy, guys, colour is not important, it's how you use the stick; whether for playing floorball or making it match your clothes or eyes, you decide.) Overall, training was good and hope to see all of you next week. OooOOOO FRONTLINERS!!
