Weekday indoor training rocks!

Hi Shiok,

Great training on Tuesday. Despite the huge number, I think we managed to handle the lack of space with innovative games. The sprints were intense and even though we have some players who lacked in experience, they compensated with a great attitude coupled with fitness.

Let's keep this number and intensity even for our weekend training. If time permits,we will train 3 times a week, 1 session on fitness, 1 one skills and concepts, and the weekend one purely for scrimmages and drills.

If we can get 27 for a weekday night training, I do not see any problem with getting 40 for the weekend. Let's work towards a full attendance training! How about another hat tournament again. The last one didn't work out due to lack of space at NUS.

Hands up for a YES!

Shiok ROCKS! AND YES, I PLAY FOR MY FRIENDS!
