Physical Training: A Walk in the Park

No halls available? No problem. That was the case this week as training was held at the ever-reliable basketball court in Taman Gelugor. No puddles around the court; nice weather; slides and swings.

Frontliners had two new faces in training- Kalyhani and Zubaidah. We also welcomed back Yi Lin and June after completing their exams.

Training started off with Coach Jason instructing everyone to make five rounds around the housing estate. At first it was thought as five rounds around the court, but after Coach Jason explained the route, many went:

"Five rounds??!"

Coach Jason then changed his mind and made it three rounds but Kenny was bargaining for two. No luck this time.

The first drill started with three lines, which was reduced to two with those in the third line practicing shots with keeper, Bryan. The remaining two lines were practicing shots with the other keepr Soon Khai, with a twist- 5 balls had to enter the goal or else be 'rewarded' with 5 push-ups.

More shot-related drills were carried out and so was the more familiar 2-on-1. With training only until 11.15, match time was called. Yi Lin provided most of the audio during the game. A little accident left Adrian with a bleeding elbow but that did not put him out of action. While the girls (almost all) were left to play, the rest went for a 'little run'.

Training ended with announcements and Roselyn going into ah long mode.
