oh btw,
I know the CCA lders have not been attending trainings for 2days this week due to camp. we're stop from going for training unless there's competition going on. We left no choice and had to go ahead with Mr KC's decision.
But nevertheless, I have to praise the other girls for attending the trainings. cause' I felt kinda guilty for seeing you guys training so hard, yet I'm slacking my arses off, cheering my lungs out-.-

Zonals are not that far away. We still had quite a long way to go before we reach our goals. Be it whether it's B girls or C girls, no matter how tough the training is gonna be, as long as you've the right mindset, nothing can pulls you down.
Everyone knows coach's character. Nothing can ever stop him from giving us support till we had reach our target. Let's not dissappoint the teachers and coach joseph alright!

And the list of the girls in main 12 will be out soon? but what I want to emphasize is that - dont get discouraged if you're not in main 12. we're still one big family, a team. we've grow so much together, and we need each other's support in order to get there k.
and for the main 12, please keep on trying to improve on yourself during each trainings. we cant afford to waste our time (:

Thats all I can say for now. Let's train hard together girls.
CELESTINE (:

I read November Teenage and came across one interesting and inspiring page of NETBALL! I shall quote some phrases from it and share it with you girls.

Netball is a game that isn't just about natural talent, it's also about skills, techniques, maturity and mental strengths. It's not easy playing a game that literally requires you to think on your feet because you only have three seconds to think where and who you can pass the ball to. It also takes a lot of discipline...

...The most generic skill one should have is the ability to catch and pass. If you're a shooter, your percentages have to be high. You also need to able to shoot under pressure. If you play centre (C) or wing attack (WA), you'll need to have good spatial ability, scanning the court quickly for spaces to pass the ball. As for defenders, it's important to be very fit and "sticky". It helps too, if you're slightly taller or have the ability to jump high.

Most parts are true. So everyone, let's work our butts off this coming 3 months. Make our passes perfect, reduce the number of drop balls, communicate and encouraging one another! Rmb, we left less than 3 months to train. Let's treasure every training and do some fitness yourself. But don't do it just for the sake of doing but for the sake that you want to improve yourself and contribute to the team. Jia you and take care!

It's all in the mind...

Extra training for B girls will start from next week.
It will be in the morning, 7.45am - 11.15am. (may end earlier or later)
Dates will be confirmed later.
But it is on either Tuesday or Thursday since we have trainings on other days. (Please tag which day you prefer and/or whether do you want to train before our normal trainings. Also, state whether you want self-trainings on alternate weeks or every weeks during this holidays)
&these are our self trainings so there will be no consent form or newsletter.
Remember to check netball blog regularly for any updates.

Thanks everyone,
Candice.

DEAREST SEC ONES:

please please please, FOCUS DURING TRAINING!
we should try our best to reduce the amount of drop balls, better still, no drop balls.
i believe we all CAN DO IT. its all about whether you want or not.

Coach cant always be there to tell us what to do.
& he cant always be there to give us the confidence we needed.
NO ONE CAN GIVE US CONFIDENCE EXCEPT OURSELVES.
SO, please, have faith in yourself. cos' no one is thinking that you cannot make it.
If you think you can do it, you can!

I know we all make mistakes during training, but dont get angry or whatever.
we must learn from our mistakes.
Try to accept comments?
I mean, no comments are bad, its only about how you take it.
So yeah, just be focus during trainings.
& talk to yourself? I think talking to yourself can make you understand the situation better, and also, have more confidence in what you're doing. ((:

I believe we can do it. (:
& try to relax a bit for those who're always tensed up.

Remember, its not enough to have only one person working hard, we're a team, so lets just work hard together.
&Its not about how hard you throw the ball, but how you throw the ball, so yeah..
&be serious every training, cut down laughters and fun.
training is training. we can have all the fun after that.

So yeah, lets work hard together & enjoy playing netball. ((:

Loves,
Clara.

training will be on mon, tues and thurs for next week.
11-4pm+ for sec 2s and 1.30-4pm+ for sec 3s.
try to come 15 mins before every training starts.
let's train hard and bring glory together!

B girls,
still remember what coach told us on friday?
Everyone must play and train hard during training, especially the sec 3s.
I know we have lessons early in the morning and training in the afternoon.
All of us are tired. However, you are not the one suffering alone!
We suffer as one (:
And it is our last year to play for the school already.
Thus, I hope everyone can leave their homeworks till after training.
Don't bring it into your mind. &don't stress too much.
Rmb, it is holiday!
We must learn to study SMART and play HARD!
Just have a good time management, all of us will excel in both (:

For sec 2s,
I can see some of you are training hard and have improve a lot!
Keep up the good effort which you have put in.
For others,
don't be discourage. We still have time!
Try to learn from the mistakes or seek for any seniors help if you need (we are friendly alright? LOL).
During break, relax yourself, talk with us (seniors) and think how can you minimize the mistakes.

Also, remember there is no one man game for netball.
No one can shoot, attack and defend alone.
All this needs teamwork and communication.
Not to forget, persevere too.
The sec 1s are training hard.
We, as seniors should train hard as well so as to set a good example for our juniors.

Still remember last year?
How did we train hard for many hours despite the hot sun?
How did we encourage each other during training?
How much efforts did we put in to prepare for zonals?
How did we make all passes accurate?
How did we learn our basics well?
How did the shooters try to put in the effort to shoot everyday?
(Shooters, if you need any defencers or attackers help, feel free to approach)
How did the defencers defend tight during set plays?
How did the attackers make accurate passes to the shooters just in a few seconds?

I believe we can do ALL this again,
with 101% effort all the time,
with the seriousness in everyone's face,
with the never-say-die mindset,
with the teamwork etc..
So girls, let's do our parts just for this few months.
Try to come for training as many times as you can.
Also, rest and eat well after training.
&for those days without training,
go gym and do some exercises BUT do not over strain your muscles. They need a break too!
For those people that have knee, ankle and other problems,
please take care of yourself and remember to go to gym for some light workouts to keep ourselves fit.

This is what I can do for all of you.
I will try to point out some mistakes and encourage everyone of you to tag the mistakes we had.
But don't be offended. We are just trying to help one another to improve (:
Hope I will see some changes so we will not disappoint our coach and teachers again.

So, let's work hard together and strive for our main goal - TOP4 of WEST ZONE!

**Please be remind to photocopy your result slip and bring it on 12 nov trg (mon)!
Btw, the training listed on thursday, nov 1, is only for B girls.
Take good care everyone! Sec 1s as well! The seniors all proud of you girls.
Eat well and rest well! (:
JIA YOU!
