Control the key to possession.

The girls attendance were higher than last week with 4 floorballers this week. It is encouraging to see 2 new "old" faces appearing this week. We want to welcome Miss Alice (picture top right, the one with white and blue t-shirt) and Miss Sarah Ng to our team again. Miss Alice seems to be caught with some injury due to a recent accident. But that did not stop her from picking up her floorball career once again. She's back in action.

The team advances with a focus on ball controls.

"You control the ball, You control the opponent. You control the opponent, You control the game. You control the game, You are on the way to victory" quotes coach Jason.

The girls did their basic ball control. They were taught on the 3 different levels of ball control, the basic(on ground), off the ground and were exposed to the "Indian" dribble technique.

Coach Jason comments,"Most of them are quite fresh on ball controls. You can't expect much from them as this is their first time being exposed to it. Don't forget that they aren't seasoned players. As for Sarah, not surprising that she can do it competently being the most experienced player around having played in international tournaments. I'll have to give the girls credit for their enthusiasm in training. Its really encouraging to see them that way."

The training progressed from the introduction, to playing in circle and later progressed to the "Big Bad Wolf" drill. They seem to be having fun when the wolf appears. Some loss possession of the ball when the wolf got aggressive.

The girls were later exposed briefly on sports psychology. They were given a short lecture on the "4 levels of competence" in skills acquisition.

Overall, the girls are progressing well, keeping in mind that the YouthWave tournament is around the corner. May the girls get better to challenge the other teams around in Penang soon.
