hey everyone! thanks for attending the competition yesterdae !!

everyone did well , to the sec1s , we dun ask for perfection , train more. we guys all need time to play well something, if u put in ur effort in something , someday u will find urself good in it !

i would like to give a around of applause for those who played,, i can see you all have tried ur best. coming in 4th placing doesnt mean nth. working hard down the road will bring u to a higher extend of rank or rather honour.

sec4s who r having N lvls please do work hard and study hard too(: i dun know if theres training next week but jus keep it as there is . wednesday same time same place.

losing = winning , we gain experiences and fun , skills through losing. do not have the mind of losing temper and blame others for losing . we do not want to lose a close friend or break friendship relationship thus hurting other's feelings,do anyone think of that b4? i do have have temper too, so for the rest of matches,i would keep this in mind (: that applies to everyone and we are a team! Do this together .

hahas. anyway keep this in mind. the phrase of losing = winning . And we will bring back something at the end of the year, which is, that another competition will be held.

and reminding everyone to study hard for their exam!

Cheers!

Resuming Training?

2007-11-10T15:42:00.000-08:00

Guys,

Just to let you know that I'm doing well in London, my ankle is recovering and I'm starting to play Ultimate once again in this superwindy place called England!

Glad to hear that everyone got promoted, I really hope that you guys can make an effort to organise a training session, and contact Enrique to come down to help you guys. I'm sure you all want to train hard and to win the trophy again next year right?

Anyway, do continue to go down to NUS fields (where I brought some of you last time) to play on Wednesdays at 6pm, or at Bishan Park next to the dog run area at 4pm. You can check www.singaporeultimate.com for info about where to find pickup games.

Study hard, play hard!

National Juniors Champions!

2007-09-08T00:30:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,

First of all, before anything else, a big big BIG congratulations to all of you. I don't think I need to say anything. You trained hard, you played hard, and now you reap the rewards of your effots.

You guys were honestly amazing. True, there were mistakes here and there, and we kinda took awhile to warm up, but I'm really happy to see how you've improved so much through all the trainings we've had. I'm really sorry I wasn't there to see you beat our arch-rival Snickers in the finals, but I'm sure it was a hard fought and well played match.

Anyway, I'll arrange for a time next week for Mr Chia to present the trophy and your medals to you in front of the school. It'll definitely be awesome publicity for our team next year. We'll take a break from training this Monday/Tuesday, but come Wednesday, I wanna know who's up for a friendly against ACJC (you accepted the challenge right??). We're gonna need at least 8 of you to put up a decent game against them, so can I ask Benjamin to be in charge of this friendly. Check if we have enough people and let me know by Monday so I can arrange with the ACJC players.

Once again, very very well done.

Regards,
Mr Ng

Upcoming Tournament

2007-08-19T03:52:00.000-07:00

Hey boys,

I mentioned to the few people who were at training on Friday, that there's going to be an upcoming tournament on the 7th of September. However, if you want to send a team, there's going to be work that needs to be done.

1) Committment: Only 7 people turned up for practice on Friday! If we don't have enough people to train, we won't have enough people to field a team. To send a team for a tournament, you want at least 10 people, but ideally 14. If we can't even get together a team of 14 during training, we're not going to be able to send a team to the tournament. If you're really interested in playing competitively, I expect you to come to training regularly, and if you cannot make it, have a valid reason.

There are lots of other offense and defense strategies I need to teach you before you can go for the tournament, so I expect people to attend trainings if they want to play for the team. On that note, however, if you just want to play for fun/recreationally, I welcome anybody to come down anytime :)

So far, the names I have of people who are committed to come for training:
1) Hambali
2) Junjie
3) Wenhao
4) Jin Hong
5) Benjamin
6) Abdullah
7) Ghulam

If you are interested, let me know on Monday.

2) Captaincy: You guys are gonna need a team captain. Please be prepared to vote for one on Monday.

3) Team logo and name: Think of one too.

Hope to see all of you at training tomorrow!

Regards,
Mr Ng

Discs are here!

2007-08-16T04:41:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!

I finally managed to get the discs, and at a really cheap rate of only $10 each! They come in white, green, red, and blue. I have 10 of them, so bring your money tomorrow if you want. First come first serve!

Cheers and see you tomorrow,
Mr Ng

Training Update

2007-08-14T07:20:00.000-07:00

Hey boys,

a few notes about last training on Monday.

Good points:
1) Nice stacking by everyone, lots of effort put in
2) Reasonable improvement in throwing by everyone as well
3) ALMOST no vulgarities

Bad points:
1) Late
2) Many people not around
3) BAD SPIRIT! - please guys, I really hope you guys learn to be more tolerant on the pitch.

Anyway, all that said, next training is this coming Friday at 3pm SHARP. I'll be trying to get a friendly match for you guys so do get everyone to come down for the training if possible. Eat your lunch early and give yourselves time to digest your food. Please tell your friends who don't check the blog and also tag the blog if you'll be coming or not and why.

See you soon.

2007-08-03T06:30:00.000-07:00

Hey boys,

Good turnout today, and I'm especially pleased with your punctuality. Hope you guys had fun at training.

For the newcomers, welcome to the team. If you're still confused about how the game is played, please check out the links at the bottom right yeah? Also for those of you who still can't understand the stack, please, PLEASE, PLEASE, look at the links too.

Next training will be on Monday 3pm SHARP. I'll try to get the discs by then for those who want, so please bring your money and I'll give it to you if I can get it. It's $20 each.

Cheers,
Mr Ng

Training Update

2007-07-27T06:45:00.000-07:00

Hey Guys,

I had a great time at practice today, hope you guys enjoyed yourself too.

Please remember the few discipline issues that I expect of you as Ultimate players:
1) Punctuality
2) Attire (how hard is it to just wear you PE shorts??)
3) Language.

I'm glad that the number of vulgarities has decreased alot today. I hope you guys can continue showing great spirit as you continue to play Ultimate.

For those of you still unclear about the stack, please, please, PLEASE, read this link:

http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/uh/basics_stack.html

It'll really clarify alot of your doubts.

Other than that, it's been a great training session. Here's a warm welcome to our three new friends as well. Hope to see all of you on Tuesday, 2:30pm.

Cheers,
Mr Ng

ps. those of you who want to order discs, don't forget to let Rahmad know. Thanks.

Friday Training

2007-07-23T07:49:00.000-07:00

Hey boys,

Hope CAs have been going okay. Something to look forward to after a week of exams is practice this Friday!

Be at the field in your PE attire at 3pm SHARP. Late people will experience Mr Ng's "special" PT session.

I won't be in school during school hours from Thursday onwards, but you guys can contact me at jetng1@gmail.com

Also, I'm looking for someone to take over management of this webpage. Anybody good with internet stuff willing to volunteer?

Cheers,
Mr Ng

Upcoming CAs

2007-07-19T17:05:00.001-07:00

Guys,

yesterday's training was really SAD! With only 6 people, we couldn't even get a full game together! Where were you 2A3 boys??? :(

Anyway, just a quick update for those of you who weren't at training yesterday. We introduced hucking, which is when you make the long throw (called a huck) and somebody runs to catch it in the end zone. We'll do more practice next training.

CAs are coming up next week, and as such we won't be having any practice next week. If most of you finish your CAs by Thursday, let me know and maybe we can arrange for a practice on Friday. But as it stands now, no practice next week. I also expect that all my frisbee players at least pass all their papers. If you don't do well, the school may not be as encouraging of the sport. But if you can show that playing Ultimate doesn't affect your studies, and in fact makes you a better student, then maybe the school will start taking the sport seriously, and that's gonna help when you guys push to have Ultimate recognised as a CCA in school.

All the best for your upcoming papers, and see you soon!

ps. Some of you have told me that you want to buy your own discs. The official discs are available at $20 each (http://www.singaporeultimate.com/content/blogcategory/60/93/) If you are interested, let me know how many discs you guys want in total, as well as the colour. I think they have white, blue, and glow in the dark.

pps. For those of you who are wondering why your forehand throws never go where you want, try this site: http://www.ultimatehandbook.com/Webpages/Beginner/forehand.html

Regards,
Mr Ng

Training Update

2007-07-17T20:31:00.001-07:00

For those of you who came last Friday or on Tuesday, hope you had an enjoyable practice. Was glad to see so many of you show up and alot of improvement in your throws and catches.

Some of you may have been confused about the "stack", but don't worry about it. We'll be slowly incorporating it together with other strategies in the game, and soon it'll be almost second nature for you. Don't give up just because you don't understand it, persevere, and you'll find it rewarding in the end.

Please note that next practice will be on Thursday, 19th July, and that there will be NO PRACTICE NEXT WEEK DUE TO THE CAs. Check back often for updates on trainings.

See you guys soon!

Mr Ng

Ps. Check out the links to the right for some useful information on basic throwing and how to improve your throws as well as to understand the stack better.
