Training on Friday 28 Dec

today's training was on nus field 1 finally! she's recovered quite well i must say, although still a bit bumpy. never. it's much better than the swamp we all knew at first!

started off with 8 X sprints of about 30m. then we played half field 5-a-side. 3 teams in total, so the waiting team will act as neutral players. after this, coach went off to watch the SIM vs NP game. so we carried on with a bit of shooting, and free kick practice. end of training.

Training on Thursday 27 Dec

about 19 ppl in attendance. plus one times mark who is injured. started off with a couple of sprints. about... 10 i think? then moved on to crossing drill. pass to the L/R flank, drill low and hard to near post, with 3 in the box and one outside.

then we played two sides, but focused more on one half. the defending team, if they got the ball could then counter attack, but focus was definitely more on the attacking side.

after that we played real two sides. only thing is sometimes coach would blow the whistle and we would have to play with a new ball and react to the new situation that he created.

ended off with some combination play work for some, clearing for others, and shooting for some. end of training.

Training on Wednesday 26 Dec

there were about 21 people in attendance today. started off with 12 X short sprint. about 5-7 metres. then did a 3 man full field crossing drill. keeper passes to the L/R flanker, who passes to the guy in the centre cirlce, who then lays the ball towards the corner flag for the other flanker to cross in and the other 2 finish. did about 8 reps.

after that, we did attack verses defence. shirt verses no shirt. cos stupid mark never come, never DELEGATE people to get the ball bag and bring the bibs. but it's ok mark. ice that ankle well.

after that we did two sides. and at the end of training, some guys practised finishing with coach. end of training.

Training on Sat 22 Nov

today's attendance was abysmal. but ok lah, it was a change from the original plan, so maybe people had plans in the morning (originally it was an afternoon match). we again played at the swamp in field 2. wa... panda really destroyed the pitch with his diving around man.

we started off with a crossing drill. from the flank, pass and layoff down the line, cross into the near post, with three attacking players looking to finish. we did left and right flanks.

then we did a couple of combination plays. for strategic and security reasons, i shall not post them here. suffice to say, if we could execute the moves in a match, it would be quite magical. finshed training with some shooting practice, that wasn't much cos of the mud. end of training.

so we've welcomed fabien back into the past 2 trainings. hopefully he'll continue to be part of this team.

also, for you guys that we're there, you missed a major taupok - panda totally suplexed chengwei lah. then crushed his lungs with his entire body. it was super funny lah.

Training on Friday 21 Nov

today was at field 2. it was more like a swamp man.

we played 2 sides on one half of the field, attack verses defence. each took turns to attack or defend. the defenders put the ball on the halfway line, attackers aim to score. after that we played regular two sides. short training lah. cos coach wanted to go watch the NP vs TP game which NP won 4-1. end of training.

Training on Monday 17 Dec

today's training was at st wilfrid's. wa... everybody came super on time sia. we were warmed up and ready for the first drill even before 1500hrs lah.

so we started with 2 agility drills. one was hopping. the other was ladder. each 6 reps. then we moved on to possession football, half field. 12 v 12. the team keeping possession would have one player each on the two touchlines and on the halfway line. free touch for them. the other team that was trying to score only has 2 touches.

after that, we moved on to attacking football. about 4 v 3. free touch. start from halfway line, attack and score, while defending team tries to put the ball on the halfway line. this drill then morphed into counter attacking football. the defending team (which has 3 players) would only have 1 in the defensive zone. the other two start from the halfway line. upon start, everybody would chiong back to the goal, with the attackers of course trying to score quickly lah.

then we had a zonal football drill. now it's 2 sides, but with 3 zones. in your own defending zone, 2 touch. in the midfield zone, 1 touch. in the attacking zone, free touch.

training was completed with a little physical with ball. crossing and finishing. everyone got into pairs. starting from the halfway line, the player in the centre sends the ball towards the corner flag for the other guy to cross. after that, they turn around and sprint to the other goal post, this time the finisher turns into the crosser. 3 reps. end of training.
