This week's training took a slightly more humane approach if compared to training last week. Training this week also coincided with Coach Kuan Yang's return (his perfect-attendance record since APAC was broken last week).
Attendance was encouraging, given the time of the year, and altogether 15 people turned up for training. Warm-up was thankfully and literally just warm-up, with a few rounds in PBSM and then a good stretching session led by Coach Kuan Yang.
The players then paired up for short passing. Coach Jason demanded eyeball-to-eyeball contact at all times while Coach Kuan Yang demanded that the players move towards the ball, instead of waiting for it to come to them.
Coach Jason then took the goalies aside and coach the goalies, Bryan and Soon Khai.
After the all-time favourites of 2-on-1 and 3-on-2's, training then progressed to match time. The difference in skill and experience between the two lines were vast, so the game started with a handicap, and, if the better line had not overcome the deficit in 10 minutes, 20 pushups would be the reward.
In the end, had it not been for the goalkeepers' surprising reactions and saves, the senior line would probably have had less aching muscles to contend with.
