Tempory replacement :D

Greetings everyone!

First up, just wanna thank Bas for continually keeping this club alive and kicking.
Also want to wish Shawn an eventful journey in his NS life.

Well I'm not the most fantastic organizer, but I do love the game of soccer and I'm sure most or all of you do too. I would really want to make soccer a regular sport in my week, I've spoken to afew people and they too would like to have regular playing day(s). Nothing has been confirmed, but I would like to continue our saturday morning kick-a-rounds, as well as maybe a weeknight game, most likely streetsoccer or cage.
The weeknight soccer action is really for everyone to have fun and make some new friends, its also a great opportunity for our working buddies to bring their fellow colleagues to have a fun game of soccer after a hard day's work. Day hasn't been set yet but we're thinking tuesday, it is however not confirmed as yet.
Saturday soccer is also fun :) but I am hoping to also incorporate some training into the club aside from our normal once-in-awhile matches. I know we've tried it before, and it did not turn out too well, especially since none of us are proper coaches. But I hope you can give me your support in this and help start it off, it will take time for the people handling the training to get a hang of making full use of the time.

Alot of news, and I would need everyone to chip in effort to help build our beloved soccer club.
1. Please help spread the word about the blogsite again, I will try my best to update as often as possible, especially when we've games or updates and kick-a-rounds etc.
2. Commitment to help our soccer community grow and come for trainings! I am hoping to invite younger ones to join us in training and in games, yes even in games. I would really like for us to not only improve our own game, but to train the younger ones as well. So even if they do not know how to kick, we teach them :)
As for the older ones and those that have been playing awhile, I am hoping we can train on playing as a team instead of being good individually, which is why I hope everyone can come for trainings. If we don't train with one another, its hard to know how each individual plays. By the way, training also means we're gonna start working on fitness. I know I'm probably the least fit, but hey we gotta start somewhere, can't exactly always finish a game getting heat exhaustion right? haha.
3. We can't have training without coaches right? And since none of us (at least that I know of) have a coaching license, I am looking for anyone who has some knowledge, be it from being in the school team or maybe played for clubs before etc, to let me know if he/she is interested in helping provide some techniques or some sorta training program etc.
4. Lobang for:
-fields (free fields for training is preferred, NUS is currently the only one I know of)
-opponents
-referees

The list is endless but I don't want to get ahead of myself. I believe once these few things are settled, we can follow-up on other things.

Finally, I would like to start our saturday kick-a-rounds on 26 July 2008, 9am at the NUS open field. Please bring boots and shoes, in case we cannot use the field for whatever reason, we'll use the streetsoccer court instead. If anyone knows of any free field we can use on saturday morning, please do let me know. Help me spread the word around, to the younger ones too. Please bring a ball if you can. The more balls we have, the easier to do some kicking practice. Bring water as well.
I will update here if there are any change in plans.

P.s. The chat box is up once again :)
