When There's No Facilities... you get...

... Delima Basketball Court!

As the few next Saturday trainings might be at Delima, lets just get intimate with nature. Under the scorching sun, we're lucky that we're not sick and still healthy to play floorball. With 2 weeks of rest till our next match against Spearheads on the 27th, much improvement needs to be amended so our goal for this year will be achieved. Rest was much called an intensive training.

Coach Jason gave drills after drills. Started off with snakes led by Gary. Some of us had nature calling, so we were excused from the first drill. As the squad regained, Coach 'J' came up with a drill to encounter our poor finishing in our previous match against Frontliners 300. Runs after runs, shots after shots, things looked better and better. And what do you get from all the hard-work? water-break! Frequent calls of water-breaks were issued due to the hot sun and the water we lost.

Leaving with just 30 mins before training ends, a short game was called. As training was about to end, Coach 'J' called for the squad to run 3 rounds around the field. Days are flying, are you prepared to go in to get that goal? 'Division 1!', lets stick it in our minds.

And even as the girls & juniors came in, the Sun remained the basketball court's best friend, baking it till you could probably fry an egg there if you tried hard enough (and didn't mind dust all over your sunny-side-up). No egg? Well there's still the baked floorballers there.

Warm-ups then an unusually long break due to Coach Alex talking to Coach 'J', until finally we started with snakes. No goalkeeper meant a makeshift goalpost (one small goalpost on top of the other, held up by our very own Coach 'A' - the brave man he is). It was kinda like shooting into a loudspeaker as Coach 'A' shouted comments and commands alike from where he crouched.

More shooting, then killers/suicides. Call it what you like, it all ends in a near-death experience for your leg muscles. Add in the Sun's generous helping of heat, plus running back and forth four times.. and as usual, last 3 to do 10 pushups.

So a few more drills then it was game-time as we played in our respective lines, and (hopefully) in our set positions as well. But soon the Sun fell prey to Rain, which came as a drizzle then a good shower, so it was finally called a day.
