Hello guys!

Training is on this sunday - our very last training for the term!
Come down, huck all your stress and shit away, 1 - 7!

As of next week, all trainings will cease(that means including tuesdays). The next time you'd be touching a disc with us would be during the camp! Just one point to note, I would like everyone who still needs improvements with their basic throws to do this:

Imagine you're on the field. I want you to visualize yourself throwing a disc. Pivot, and snap. Pivot, and snap. All the while releasing the disc to your partners chest level. Because we dont have trainings physically with you guys, I hope that you could train your mind to be more routined to a backhand and a forehand.

If possible, go to the extent of holding the disc and practice your throws (positions only, dont release!): meaning pivoting and the arm action.

Keep this in your minds. Flick the disc to make it spin, only when the disc spins, then will it travel. Your aims now are to have a straight flying disc. Meaning the travel must be straight, and the disc must be spinning, not wobbly-ing.

Everytime you guys throw a disc, if it doesnt go how you wanted it to, ask yourself why. Did you not flick the disc enough?, did you release too late?, did you release it too early?, at the point of release was your disc not parallel to the ground?

Correct yourself at the next throw, keep correcting until your throws are straight, and when your throws are straight, remember how you threw it, then try to duplicate the same throw. Only when you guys can keep your throws consistent, the travel straight, no wobbly discs, have you guys improved.

When both your forehand and backhand throws are straight, then you guys may want to try other stuffs.

With response to the Jessica's tag, does anyone want to study together and be Ultimate Nerds? RSVP on the tagboard asap before this Sunday's training, then I'll plan something out of it!

See you guys when I finally do!

What is a good training?

I remember seeing a post as such on SPU awhile back, and I'd like to share it with everyone.
To quote:

A good training is one that will leave you thinking about the good and the bad.
A good training is one which you would come out feeling different, feeling like you have achieved something.
A good training is one which allows you to break through some form of personal barrier.
A good training is one which everyone puts in his or her best for the team.

Come knowing what you want to break through. Come not just to train for the sake of training, but to seek understanding of yourself better. Come not expected to be taught, but to ensure you are taught of what you have set yourself to learn.

Training(s) is not just a 3 hour thing on the field. It's a preparation of your minds before, and the evaluation of your actions after.

Come to trainings with expectations, and go home with satisfaction - this is what everyone should be aiming for.

Its been a long time since i've had a constructive post (no nails, hammers, bolts), and I really hope that each and everyone of you would take trainings seriously - its a game where the magnitude of your desire for the disc really shows, and not a joke that most people think it is, lame throws and time-passing on the beach.

See you guys on the field. ;)

Disc in,
Ian Ding Renjie.

An early one before everyone misses this post.

We will be throwing at admin field at 5pm tomorrow. Feel free to join us. Bring your discs if you have one.

Those that just bought your new discs, please remember to write your names behind the disc, and bring it along next training. It's only a matter of time before your discs gets dirty or scratched. Im not saying that your disc will get scratched in training.

Two points to note, since some of you have your own discs now, i hope you guys will train hard. Anytime you wish to practice your throws you guys can actually contact the seniors or your friends and just meet up to throw. Frisbee is a sport that needs practice, you guys can only get better with time.

Lastly, i hope everyone will treat all the discs as their own. When the discs gets thrown out, thrown far away, thrown into the drains, thrown into the construction site, please please go and retrieve it back. Imagine if it was your own disc.

tomorrow...

Hi all,

There will be training tomorrow (11/05/09). I apologise for the unsettling training days, but as mentioned last training, Mondays and Thursdays will be our training days till the end of this semester.

To give you guys a rough idea of what's coming up tomorrow, we'll be focusing more on throws and fitness. Of course towards the end, there will be matches.

Admin matters: For those who ordered disc from Alfred, please bring your money for your disc. If not, no disc for you. And also, bring along also your camp indemnity form as well. (signed etc - do not give me an empty form =) ) Give it to Ian. Deadline for the forms will be this coming THURSDAY (14/05/09). So people who do not have the form, PLEASE get it from Ian asap.

See you guys tomorrow!

Hi guys, for those of you that wanted to buy discs, its $18 for a shiok disc (there's only red, no blue and gold) or $16 for a discknight disc. not much difference between both discs, just the design.

Please pass the money to me by Monday, 11 May. I will accept last orders for the discs only if i see the money.

To put it very simply, you guys will pass the money to me by Monday, then i will double confirm your order when you pass me the money. If you wanted to buy but didnt tell me last week, you can bring the money on Monday and just tell me the disc that you want.

If you dont pass me the money, i will not order for you. If you cant make it on Monday's training, make arrangements with me before monday to pass me the money or pass the money to your friend. I will not accept credit. Please make things easier for me, my friend is already doing us a big favour by helping us get the discs.

Next training is on 11 May, Monday 5pm at kismis field.

See you guys then!

ACSI DAY 1!

Match counts:

1 loss
1 draw

those should not have happened, we could have bagged them.

3 wins

one of which we've all gotten complacent, except for those on the sideline who could see what on earth was happening to the game. But nevermind, we all learn(ed) from our mistakes!

Next match would be on 9th May, and hopefully we could have more people to come and watch us play! :D

one funny thing that happened to me during one of the matches...

me: STALL ONE, STALL TWO, .........
opponent: eh, you stopped stall counting ah?
me: oh ya hor? -thinks if i should continue from stall 2, or restart-
me: err
opponent: (disc flies)
me: nabei.

Training will commence on Tuesday, same timing 5 - 8. We'll be there early, so you could toss us a disc!

you all know what to bring, 1 white 1 dark (avoid grey and yellow and other bright colors), no boots, LOTS OF WATER (CONTINUOUS STRESS ON THIS POINT)!

see y'all on tuesday, kids! ;)
