The training on the 3rd of February was the first ever time our most experienced player, Kuan Yang (pic) took charge as the caretaker coach of that week as coach Jason is on leave.
Unfortunately, as enthusiastic as he can be, the attendance was the lowest of all throughout the year. Only 2 girls(Nadia and Roselyn) and 4 boys(Kai Tarng, Kai Yann, San Jeevan, Kannan) attended the training. The blame for the low attendance is the Thaipusam celebration and replacement for chinese new year holidays in schools.
Low attendance however did not stop this man from advancing the team's progress. Due to the small number of people, Kuan Yang changed the training plan to suit the player's needs. The girls were able to receive personal attention from him. Mr Kenny Khoo dropped by and helped him out as well.
As for the boys, Kuan Yang went on to teach them on how to do a proper blocking in defensive position. "The 2 brothers seems to catch it well. But the other 2 seem to be afraid of the ball" says Kuan Yang.
Asked on whether the caretaker was proficient in his job, San Jeevan comments " Kuan Yang is very serious in teaching us. He is very good lah. But the training is quite scary. I'm afraid of the ball". Kai Yann says "The training is good. I learned how to block a shot today".
Looks like Kuan Yang passed the test of being a coach. Perhaps he will be taking up more prominent roles in the future? Only he knows the answer.
