E.N.D of the year! Starting our NEW YEAR with a BOOMZ!

Hey guys! Since its the E.N.D(energy.never.dies) of the year! i would like to thank my whole team! Honestly, without you guys out there coming down every weekend training hard for competitions, i wouldn't had continue to manage the team and bring it to the next step. I would like to thank the Seniors who participated in TEEN GAMES 2009.We worked hard for our 2nd and 3rd placing! All of you made me so proud to be your captain! I would also like to thank those who help in dragging your friends along letting them know more about Ultimate and expanding the team. It's really a blessing to have a team of talents and cool friends:) Newbies even though some of you just joined this team not too long, but i am very encouraged that you all are training hard every training trying to get your throws and your game plays right. Last but not least, the senior girls who are JOANNA and huiting also made me proud of them. I saw a lot more effort put in improving their skills and this is one point I learned from a captain in winter league, the quote to remember forever, NEVER ENOUGH never stop improving! Let's train hard and make your family and friends proud of you! TEEN GAMES 2010 HERE DT COME!

Alrighty, let us continue tomorrow. Good night! (:

For those who did not participate in winter league, i strongly encourage that you come down to sengkang field for one Sunday to watch or even better float*. The gameplay and atmosphere there is totally different from our normal training i think it would be beneficial to those who are not experienced**. Those who have school starting January onwards better make yourself free on the last few Sundays and get your butts there! If you scared to go alone or anything just text/call me(Jordan), Desmond, Elbon, Jia Hao or Seng Yong.
*Float : Pay $10 to play for that day, help the teams that are short of players.
**Experienced: Everyone in Disctractors is inexperienced.

Shifting of training ground.

Hey guys i got a news to break to everyone.As for those who went for Saturday's training you would have noticed that Bishan Park is going to close down for a huge renovation and upgrading very soon. Therefore, if the park is closed by sat we will temporarily have trainings in Bishan Active soccer field. I expect everyone to come for trainings. This will be a gentle reminder from your captain, desmond to tell you to take every training we have seriously. I don't want anyone to tell me because they have to go out with friends than they skip training.Training is important.Everyone should know that our team's standard is nowhere near the other teams. We only have this few last weeks of December before most of you starts school! By the time school starts, training would only be held on Saturdays. Guys please think about your own standard and think about whether you need to train even harder after the one year of wasted time or lack of trainings. I know some of you got put in some effort to improve but we need more than putting in effort, we have to pump in alot of our efforts and commitment to be able to be a better player! let's train hard together and claim something glorious back!

Training this sat 230. Do not be late and also remember to bring your own water!

Training.

Team! this wednesday's training is from 2.30pm to darkness.9am to 12 pm is for those who cant make it in the afternoon.The morning training is only for this week. Please continue to read up and check on the blog for lesson 2#. Everyone is expected to come for training unless valid reason like school or sick. Any other reasons please tell me at least 2 days in advance. 2.30PM everyone geared up, done with warm up throws ready to start training. Late comers will face the same consequences.

homework for you~~ IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT

Lesson #1

Tips on how to cut!

For beginners, you could try running hard in one direction, plant hard and quickly change to the other direction. The other way is to make your defender turn their back from you.The simplest method is to run hard towards your opponent.And assuming that you can run faster towards than they could run backwards, the opponent would have no choice but to turn and follow you. Once the defender turns and looks at the other direction, you can continue to run or give a fake to get yourself open.

To turn quickly:

• keep your center of gravity low.
• take fewer but more powerful steps
• sprint and plant hard,change direction

Mistakes often made when doing cuts is when you never plant
your feet.However, when being poached you should not run to the poached area instead run further away from the defender and make yourself more threatening.

Team read this part 1st.Do not need to be now but 1st and i will post lesson 2# very soon.Any doubts on this part please feel free to comment on this post not on the tag board please.Do not be shy to ask.Everyone gets to learn from the questions you ask! Be generous! share your questions!

Late comers on Saturday will run extra rounds and i mean it. Sick of having to wait for everyone, those who dont come for training just cause they dont feel like or tired i suggest you quit ultimate. i dont care what you think of me but if you dont treat the team's training and ultimate with respect you dont have to come for anymore trainings. I repeat, do not take training for granted the more tired you are you should train even more because its the time where you improve most. Jordan

My experience from the Batam Build Project Hat last sunday.

Hi guys! i'm here to tell everyone bout my tiring but fruitful experience from the hat(a mini tournament with mixed teams) i went yesterday. Even though i consider myself as a novice but not a beginner only, i was still lacking alot from the rest as the rest of the players there were very good. And during the matches from 9am to 6pm.It made me realise how hard and far the team still needs to go.There were a few players whom the seniors met during our competition earlier this year, most of them had already improved drastically. I'm not sure what is the boy's name, but there was this 14 yrs old boy who was very dominant in the tournament.He was only 14! but he was already playing so well!He was a handler in the team too. So team, it time for everyone to have the right attitude and spirit to train really really hard.I don't mean hard as in knowing how to play and throw rather well.But really hard as in being able to be a useful player when you play with strangers.And be able to out run out jump players.The team can train you but it is the matter of you willing to train. Everyone needs to have self discipline to train hard to push our team's standard higher each time we get together for trainings. I think that should be all for my experience from the hat! Hope to see more people turning up for training on this SATURDAY  21 NOVEMBER 2009 @ 2.30PM  sharp!  Do remember to check up on the rules if your still unsure.It's your own responsibility.Get your soccer boots soon too!Tell your friends if they do not have one!

Trainings for this Winter...

Hey guys! Basically i am here to talk about our bbq dinner.It was Fun and not quite boomz or shingz.But it was fun enough.And for those who didnt make it to the dinner. I would still encourage all of you to come for trainings if your interested and new to this sport. Bring along your friends who are interested and there will be seniors during the trainings to teach them!

OK.Done with the bbq.

Now for trainings.This schedule will only be temporary. Trainings are on every SATURDAY afternoon from 2.30pm sharp to 5pm.5pm onwards would be optional if you want to stay to practice a little more if you think its not enough for you as it is only once a week.Occasionally we will head down to Sentosa to join the pickups on saturdays.

However, after talking to some of our potential players.I realised most people are not able to join us because it is on a saturday.So i really need everyone's cooperation to let the committee know which is the best days to have our practices on weekdays.This weekdays trainings will only be held during this holiday for your info.

Players and theirs friends are strongly encouraged to vote for your 2 best weekdays for trainings.Timing will be 3pm to darkness on the training days you choose. I got to sleep soon! Having training tomorrow afternoon!

See you!

Desmond

The TEAM.

hi guys! Desmond here to blog about my awesome team that i am leading. First of all i just want to let everyone whether your in the team or not, that Disctractors is the best team! Every player in the team is so special. Some fat some skinny.Some tall some short.Some handsome some even more handsome.Some pretty some ugly. All this things are just some fun and special thing about Disctractors. Eventhough the team is not the champion in Singapore.But it will always be the champion in my heart.(mushy) But most importantly, the team had stopped training for a nong nong time. We so called had our study breaks. Finally! O levels is over! for most of us.sorry josiah. Anyway! 14th November 2009 is the day we all had been waiting for! Before training officially starts, on 13th November there is a party organised just for the team to know your team mates better! The dinner on 13th November is free of charge!

Do remember to ask your friends whom you think they are interested in the sport to come down for the dinner or trainings! Drag them, pull them, carry them or just kick their ass to the dinner and trainings! Don't worry we are all friendly and warm-hearted. Anyone with very very shy friends! we will give them special attention.*evil laughter*

If there are any doubts or questions, do feel free to add me on msn or leave me a msg.

There is also a ultimate frisbee clinic going on at 15 November! It is a Sunday! the clinic is to introduce ultimate frisbee to you by teaching you some basic throws and drills.It is also free of charged as i had said earlier in the other post.I urge everyone who is new to this sport to go for this clinic!REALLY REALLY USEFUL! And i will be around the venue for the clinic.So maybe if anyone wants to go?we can meet up before going to the sengkang field!

Ok i think that should be all for today. I will be back blogging bout my super duper team sometime soon!maybe tmr?maybe friday?maybe sat?Im not sure.But do remember to always check on the blog everytime you come online!Put it as a bookmark or even homepage!

Announcements.

The open league had been cancelled due to the increase numbers of sick players.Therefore , this friday had been replaced to SEC 3s Ultimate inter-class.However, Jordan had decided to organise a Mini league for those who are still very keen on competiting with the other teams.There is a poll box on on the right for you to vote for the best date!
Lastly, the team will be heading over to Farrer Park to watch Singapore Open 2009 on Sunday 9 August as it will be the finals for the tournament. It will surely be a great experience to just watch the top teams in ASIA to compete for the cup!

Here are some photos!

Summary of 18july09 training

today's match wasn't what the seniors expected from the juniors.The whole team did not play well as what the seniors thought was because of the lack in drills and mind set that we started off with training. So this is another lesson learnt,

• Never to slack on drills and
• Have a clear and focused mind during training

All this are the factors that will put your skill level to improve.All this things can be corrected asap(open league)

Good luck for open league!we will most probably have dinner together after the league ok?!

Lasr words of advice,

1. Condtiton your fundamentals ,
2. Make sure of the the basic formations very clearly
