3,2,1...Action!

Our first ever training was held on the 30th December 2007.Attendance was satisfactory during that training.A few members from the Minden Underdawgs Floorball Club joined us for training.We are also happy to have their goalkeeper,Suleen Lew attending this training.We started off with drills to improve and sharpen the skills of the players as most of us haven't been playing floorball in a few weeks during the holiday.Overall,the training was successful and everybody returned home with smile on their faces.

5th January 2008 was our second training and this time the attendance is very good.Most of the players turned up and are on very high spirit to train.We are also very happy to have Penang's famous goalkeeper,Lin Ken and Kuan Yang which is a forward to join us for this training.Besides that,we have two new players participating in this sport for the first time.They are Kelvin Tan and Ooi Tze Yang.I am happy with their performance on that day as they are able to coped up with the rest of the team.This training was all back to basics and we trained on passes because I believed that it plays an important factor in this sport.In fact,it plays and important factor in most of the sports such as football and rugby.Floorball is a team game and every players should be able to make good passes during the game.Every pass taken is vital in a game because there is no room for error.After having drills focusing on passes,we played a 4 on 4 game.Everybody did well and most of them are very tired after the training.It must be after the long break they have taken during the holidays.Overall,everything went well for this training.

We had another training on the 12th January 2008.Lin Ken joined us for training again and this was the last time he will be joining us as he will be joining Moosemen Floorball Club in Singapore for their league which is beginning soon.Ztec 8cers wish him all the best in his career and hoped that he will join us for training in the future.Attendace was also good for this training and we have drills focusing on passes and shots.I can see more improvement in most of the players during this training compared to the last training.After all the drills,we played a 3 on 3 game to trained for the upcoming 3 on 3 tournament on the 19th January 2008.Anybody who is interested to watch this tournament are invited to Red Cresent Headquaters on 19th January 2008 from 9am to 1pm.There will be teams all over Penang playing in this tournament and it is going to be very exciting to watch.Back to the report,everybody enjoyed themselves during this training and we were also able to catch a glimpse of one of our players,K.Pragas "swimming" in the air as he was falling down.*ouch* Nevertheless,he stands up and continued his game with high spirit.At the end of the training,everybody was exhausted once again and our coach decided to have physical training before the training starts.So starting from 26th January 2006,all members are required to be at the Red Cresent Headquaters before 11.30am to train on physical and fitness.I am sure this will help to improve our game-play in every aspect.I hope that every player can make it for the training every week as we have one month left before the league begins.Let's train hard together as a team and stay united!
Anyway,this week training on the 19th January 2008 is cancelled due to the 3 on 3 floorball tournament.All the players can come to support both of our teams which are participating in this tournament.Let's wish them all the best and make Ztec 8cers proud!Viva la Floorball!
