Ramshackle goals and coverless drains: So What?

Frontliners Floorball Club again held training outdoors with the belief that fresh air and lovely breezes are good for health. This time, training was held not-so-in Kompleks Belia dan Sukan. Hardly any puddles compared to training last week, to the relief of some.

Fifteen people made it to training which started off with short passing. Now, most of the drains were considerably dry, but there was one that had God-knows-what blackish goo inside, and some players were unfortunate enough to have their balls sink into it.

Training then progressed to Beat the Keeper, where the players had to shoot within a certain distance, first with forehand and then with backhand. For the forehand part, Kuan Yang gave a quick demo as in how to shoot accurately, then stood behind the goal to point out the spot where the players had to shoot.

It took some time for the players to get used to the different, rougher surface.

In the 2-on-1 and 3-on-2 drills, Kuan Yang emphasised on the attackers' speed, demanding that the players either score or take a shot as fast as they could. And in match time, it was Forwards vs Defenders. However, as one goal was missing, Kuan Yang balanced one cone on top of two and said the ball had to touch it for the Defenders to score.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and the players were getting sapped. Trips to the canteen for water became more frequent, and finally, match time was called to an end.

The players then tried out penalties, where Pei Li scored her first penalty ever and Steven successfully pulled off an airhook-goal.

Training was quite laid-back, in a nutshell.
