Training this sunday !!
430pm.
Bring $2 for the field for the match if you have yet to pay =]
Bring ball if you have, MUST BRING!
Alvin bring pump again thx alot =]

Training schedule : We will start wif warming ups: 1. Form a square around the goalkeeper(jackie/sy) with people standing ad juz the 4 points. 2 cones shall be for passsing to GK, 2 cones shall be for shooting ad GK.

2. We will then continue with the training of crosssing and shooting.
Go to this website to have a general idea of what we are going to be doing :
http://www.joesoccer.com/drills/crossfire.html

3.After warming up, we will proceed with a passing + shooting drill combined.
Juz look at this site animation to get an idea of what we will be doing: http://www.joesoccer.com/drills/runpassgun.html

4. We will proceed with a one goal drill. Two players will wait ad each side of the goalpost, GK puns the ball forward, both players are to run for the ball and try to score.

5. Lastly, we will be playing a game to end off the drills. It is a game where captain ball and soccer is combined. The difference is that u can move around even with the ball, and that u use ur legs to move the ball around. There will be a scoring zone where you guys are to pass to the player in that zone who, in order to gain a point for the team, juz stops the ball in the zone. The one who managed to pass to the person in the zone shall become the "captain" while the previous "captain" goes outfield to play.

We will then end off with a match =]

For drill number 3, Jackie shall be doing something else with Shengyang(take note hor SY).

Hey guys, everyone is required to be at the Bedok View field ad 310pm on saturday. All are to be on time or best, before time, so that we can do warms up, explaining team play etc. Those who are late shall not get to play- Lopez instructions, im nt so bad =] hahaha !!

Ok guys, this is it..its the match against Yusri, our very first opponents in the history of Crusaders, we lost 2-1 that time. At that time, i remember all of us were very lousy compared to now. In fact, i was so nervous i tink i only made 1 or 2 interceptions. However, this has all changed, we are now alot stronger after Coach's training and i feel that we now have the ability to get back our win!! Come on guys, this is your chance to shine, its time for our first official win. Win it!! for Lopez(his last match), for the team, for a victory, for the pride of the team. I know we can win this, i have confidence in you guys to deliver the results. Whats blocking our way now is our team spirit, cmon man..TEAMWORK is the way to WIN things. Teamwork is the missing component in our team, look ad the team, we are all strong enough technically. What we really need is team spirit, with it, we will definetely become a stronger team. Soccer isnt a one man sport, its a TEAM GAME!! We got to become closer, we should not always be in our own individual cliques all the time. Ok guys, this is OUR moment to shine. Its high time The Crusaders get a win of our own! =] This is it...180807.

Always remember this during the game: There's no I in WE.

Attire for saturday: FBT top n bottom, red socks. Please look your best as we are going to take a team photo. Look forward to seeing you guys there =]

Matchday!! 19th Aug, Sunday, 3pm

Lopez and i have decided that the match time shall be 3pm. It shall not chg any longer unless the field cannot be boooked.

Venue: st wilfrid, boon keng mrt station there ~

The opponent is Yusri team, the first match we played in.

So yeah, the details shall be confirmed next weeek.
thank you.

also calling out to all supporters to attend the match. tyvm!

ok..to all those who feel that im being unfair to Derrick. My reasons for doing it is simple:

first of all, he told me last week when we kept the ball that he wanted to keep 1 ball.
so i let him keep it, den aft that the nxt training he bring to trng, and wait till when there was only like say...me zj jackie( who all already hv 1 ball to keep) and jk who cannot carry any balls cos he riding a bike.
ONLY ad this moment of time, did he decide to say.."eh i cannot keep the ball"
so i told him to keep till the nxt trng first..
and he just doesnt care and leave it on the floor where no one would have taken it if i din spot it..

then the next topic i wna address is :

Studying shall nt be accepted as a valid reason to skip training under any circumstances UNLESS u have common tests or midyr/ eoy papers..which is virtually impossible unless u are from another school.

Also, if you go out wif ur parents, it wont always be accepted, in 1 month i will let u go for a max of 2 times. Also, pls take a picture of ur parents while ur out to show me that u rlly go out wif ur parents.

The fine shall also be changed to $3 from now on. There shall be no more changes unless i find that this system isnt working.

thank you.

Those who have any problems wif these stuff pls do talk to me privately. thx.

ATTENTION !!

Derrick has been fined $5 for defiance. I clearly asked him to bring the ball home and he juz left the place w/o bringing the ball back home.

He shall nt participate in any soccer trainings or get his new jersey till he pays up the $5. Thank you.
