hello!
hmm just realised there arent any girls who posted anything yet..lol ok so let me start..


firstly,our girls team did a real good job during the match against rjc!it was kinda amazing.all of us were prepared..prepared to get thrashed la..they scored 1st n we thought die..then comes our goal!n whoo we went bonkers!!they scored again n we scored close after that!total bonkers after every goal lol..coz it was our first match and we never really expected we could break a zero..so even tho we've lost to rjc,having the score 6-3 was a real morale booster for us..considering the fact that we just trained for like 5 months!n with all of us starting with no backgrd in fb at all (->we shld be proud of ourselves coz of this yea!)..i think we've really improved alot..be it skills or physical..n against such a strong opponent..i must say WELL DONE GIRLS :) proud of u all..esp our goalie jes!it pains me to see her bruised knees..so coz of her hardwork all the more we shld play the game better yea!
hmm n..each player is valued ok..u dont have to b the top scorer or the best dribbler to b useful in the team.find out ur weaknesses..work on it..give it your all when playing n work as a team.rmb..team play is the most impt thing and dont ever give up on yourself coz we'll nv give up on u!


hmm for the guy's match..i tink u all were quite worried over the match with rjc rite..can tell from jt's face when he talked to me in the canteen that day waha..but having drawed with rjc is good alr..so dont be too demoralized..anw coach says u guys are improving..n we girls believe that u guys can really excel..so let's all keep it up!continue to work hard!!!train hard!!be the best we can be and show the rest of the jcs that we aint no newbies....but black horses :)


monday was the first day we girls met our coach..

even before our match began,he told us that he's not going to care abt the scores..what matters is that we play well on court.
during the breaks he emphasized that we shld not play dirty.
altho he had a sorethroat that day, he still shouted to make sure we hear him and make correct moves during the match.
he didnt coach us coz he's gna get paid,but coz he sincerely wants to bring out the best in us.

immediately, he gained our respect man..really glad we're having him as our coach..
terimakaseh coach!!


hmm and i think another person we shld all thank is mr loke!since the start of the year,we have improved our physical n skills under his supervision. in the 1st few months, he was the one who helped us bring the whole bag of sch sticks and balls to vs so that we can train as we havent gotten our sticks yet..he was the one who always managed to come for our trgs even tho we know he's a busy econs teacher..(marking essays during our trg ah..lol..)

now that we have our basket fullll of our own sticks..now that we have a new coach..still we shldnt forget he who'll always watch and support us..who'll always b there with us during trgs..who has done so much for us so that we can achieve who we r now..


yep seriously,i tink without him we wld all b noobs in fb..
so.......thank you loke!!=D

hey peeps!

firstly, the girls did great for the rj match! never seen you all run so much before. and not to forget special mention for jessica, who minded the net very well for someone who's played goalie for, what, her second time? on the whole the girls team played exceptionally well for their first game. =)

but remember the referee wasn't much of a ref yea. there was hardly a call for slashing, then there were many times the ball wasn't hit in from the corner spot after being played out, or the hit in was taken while the ball was moving, which the ref closed one eye to. so watch out for these little things k? keep it up!

guys guys.. i guess we got a little roughed up by them eh. but no worries, when we really face them they're gonna have plenty of fouls on their plate. dun rule out suspension yea. powerplay situations can help our game by alot. but i guess we agree that we could toughen up a little, so that we wont get pushed about so much on the court. so take the physicals seriously, esp the pushups and abs part. dun get yourself injured in a match for nothing. every little bit counts, and so does every man. there's no need to mention stickwork, all of us are working on that already. just keep our cool, we're VJC after all. clean and fair. =)

i'll have disagree with jt on one thing though. i don't really think our fitness was better than them.. i'd give us at most, on par with them? those guys ran like dogs, really. fast, lasting and not forgetting, violent but since there weren't really rules these guys kept the pressure on us much of the time. these are the kind of players we have to mark, and most importantly keep up with. so speed and stamina wise it'd be good for us to keep improving. i feel that we were able to hold them at this match was because we capitalised on our chances, while they wasted quite alot of those, and it's a good thing that we've got the eye for goal. oh and not forgetting, our keepers played well. improved quite a bit eh, good job! =)

i'm sure this friendly brought up alot of issues where sportsmanship seemed lacking in the game. all i can say that when the real match comes, it'll be a more controlled game, so just chill. any injustice we face now, they'll get paid back by the coin next time. no reason for us to get upset or worse, show misconduct. coach is right, smile at them, let them bite their own tongues. we play to carry our school name, so we'll let our actions speak for our morality.

that's my piece then. play hard, play fair. =)

hello people!

i'm sure you all had a great time at the RJC match yesterday. there were certainly many lessons we have learnt from the match.

firstly, i would like to praise the girls team for their brillant effort put into the match yesterday. the girls team really performed way beyond expectations even though we lost to them 6-3. haha. and not to forget the 3 players who scored the goals were stella, jing xuan and wen lin. but then again, without the entire team the goals would have not been possible. at the start, it seemed that the RJC girls had a headstart above us when they were doing their drills, but the sheer determination of the girls team not to give up so easily was what drove them so much. that is one thing we guys can also learn. you all didn't give up and continue to run and run and run. special mention goes to jessica the girl's keeper who did a good job despite it being one of her first few times as a goalie.

secondly, i'm proud of the guys team too and i felt that we really went all out and not gave up despite trailing 3-1 at the start. in the end, we drew 6-6 as the away team. initially, we had doubts about the game with RJC after hearing news that RJC had won NJC 17-0 in a friendly match the earlier week. in addition, they had a really skillful team which did their drills with much ease. but, that was not enough to stop us. i guess the month-long physical training has come to good use as we had better fitness compared to them. and i honestly think that most of us have improved by leaps and bounds since the previous friendly match! we're running much more, marking our men, blocking shots etc.

In addition, guys, i think we really did ourselves and the school proud when we chose not to bring ourselves down to the way they play floorball. i know many of you were unhappy with the way they played the game, but the main thing was that we played the game fair and did our part by being gentlemen. that was something we all did well in. in a game, sportsmanship is more important than winning or losing. we have really progressed quite far as a team!

and with 1month left to our competition, let us all peservere and train hard to improve ourselves so that we may do our school proud in july and make a name for floorball in vj! keep it up team! :)

good job guys once again.

we won our 2nd friendly against MI with a score of 13-5.

like what mr loke says, we must not get complacent and start slacking..

let's all work together as a team towards the main goal in july - the inter-school competition.

haha.

like what the coach said to us today, let there be no "I" in our team.
