Now onto some Basic Introduction to the team for the new year 1s.....
Training.Training will start on Tuesday, To those that have experience playing this game and have some knowledge, pls do not say that training is boring because the training is from the basics. Means that the coach, Philip will teach people how to hold a cue, how to stand properly & everything the few 1st few trainings. If you still find it boring, you can find gabriel / Ah Lee to entertain you.
But if you are not able to do the things that philip teaches then I suggest you start putting in some hard work until you are very confident in that aspect.
Training & playing well is your responsibility, NOT ANYBODY ELSE.. If you are unable to understand the things that philip teaches then you can ask him privately / ur seniors if they also understand it.
If you are unable to understand it then do not say things such as " He dunno how to teach / he lousy coach" as the things he teach are so basic & simple that even dumb people can understand. There's no idiots he cant teach. If you are willing to help yourself, he's willing to help you.
Attitude / ConductIf you happen to have any troubles / conflict with any members, please approach Lee Yan Hui / Quek Yan Hui about it. They are always there to listen to ur problems be it with ur members / with ur girl frend. They will help u resolve conflicts to the minimum with ur batches.
This pool team has always been one big happy family. The conflicts are very minimum / Zero and there are no cliques at all.
Likewise we really encourage you guys to be humble, Funny , Jokers, Mindful of your words, temper & not going around to hustle some noobs because they have a problem with you. We have occasions where some new year 1s go to places & cause a big problem for us.
EventsWe usually go for drinks on friday, have fun, enjoy & chill. Just that recently we all poor until haven gone out for a long time. But we will have one in this month for the new year 1s =D.
We have chalets where you enjoy, gamble, drink, BBQ, Swim & have fun together. The only thing we dont do is physical activities such as night cycling / playing sports except pool. So we are just basically enjoying ourselves for 3 days and 2 nights at the same place. To those that don't drink, Don't worry, Sam will train you to become a champion drinker by the time you leave the school. To those that don't ever get drunk, you guys better watch out at the chalet =D.
Friendlies. We have alot of friendlies, but not the whole team will be able to participate depending on the size & restriction of the friendly. But most likely its always about 20 people / friendly & it does not always go to the seniors. In this team, we use the replacement method whereby if you are playing well / deserves the place you will get to play.
The coming friendlies are with NTU & RP year 1s. For the NTU friendly, most of the seniors will be playing. venue & dates are not confirmed but I'm trying for the 28th of May @ SPGG. Will have to ask philip again.
For the RP Year 1s, It should be somewhere in july / Aug & all the year 1s will be able to participate in this.
A little bit of history about our friendlies. In the past 3 years, We have only lost twice. One to Serangoon Gardens Country club on tie breaker after a 13-13 Match & Another Rp Year 1s friendly 2nd edition. So the pressure is on you guys not to lose =D.
Check back this blog as often as you can as we update it very regularly, Dont believe u just see the past 1 week we posted 5 times. We are the most updated pool blog in singapore haha
See you guys around =D
