In the Name of Floorball

It's the end of November already?? [smacks forehead] 

Before I go on: reminder for everyone to pass up their sentences a

bout their performance for the yearbook to Tania ASAP. :)

Anyway.....training yesterday was...as usual...~

"Bet you can't do this...Haiyaa!" - Kuan Yang

"*Sniffs* Yeah, I've seen better..." - Coach Jason

"Run, run as fast as you can - you can't catch me! I'm.....Gary."

Crouching tiger, hidden dragon....

A ghostly figure of Shawn (or is it Sean? Or maybe Shaun? Sorry.

...) during the snakes drill....

I'm not sure since when this started, but we started naming our drills in levels...

I wonder what a video game of floorball would look like...

Major League Floorball? Floorball Tour 2009? Floorball Hero?

Welcome Player 1! Choose your level;

LEVEL 1

Pass the ball, receive, bring it and shoot it into the

 goal. 

LEVEL 2

Pass the ball and make a "first-timer" shot into the goal using both backhand and forehand. 

"I want a continuous motion from you when you make that shot, Player 1! Do not slow down!"

LEVEL 3

Pass the ball, receive, bring it to the front of the goal....score!

-----GAME OVER------

We also continued our "Quest of the 200-passes" and did Finland passes (I'm guessing they originated from Finland...?) and a 2-on-1 drill in "pairs of three". Quite self-explanatory.

We also played Mini Golf: Floorball Edition.....

5 pairs of players make passes to one another while avoiding the omnipresent defenders at the centre of the court. Much like those little wind mills at mini golf courses. Or the plastic alligators. You know what I mean.

Punishment for making an obstructed pass? Push ups, of course...

We finally had some game time at about 20 minutes to 3.00....

Seniors vs. Seniors + Tania

Juniors vs. Girls

Face off 1

"I got it!" - Tania

with Lisa in the background referee-ing

Interesting footwork, nice passes, and much more team

work....good job guys :)

Juniors and Girls, keep practicing on the technique and playing games till we become the best in Penang.

Always do your best : what you plant now, you harvest later.

SUKPEN 4-5 December 2009

Paraphrased quotes from the coach:

"If you are on your school team, you are.....not to say forced...but highly encouraged to play for your school, not for this team. Okay, not just encouraged, more like mandatory...."

"We need to come together club-to-club, school-to-school, hand-in-hand to promote floorball on a government level."

"It's not about WINNING, it's about the numbers!"

With that said, play for your school's team (if that's possible), get more friends to join your school's team (even if they haven't touched a floorball stick before) and play in the name of floorball people!

Oh. And did anyone notice how tense Gary looked at practice?

Maybe it was the hair. 

Kidding! ;)
