With the impending East Zone Inter-Primary Netball Championship a week away, the juniors kickstarted their March holidays with a 'netball camp'. It was a good opportunity for their coach, Mr Njoo, to fine-tune his final selection of players to prepare them for their first match against Coral Pri.
Day 1
The camp started with a specialised training session for defenders, mid-court and shooters. Coaching the defenders was Coach Cheryl, coaching the mid-court players was Coach Vanessa and coaching the shooters was Coach Huifen. Most of the coaches were either ex-national age-group or current national team players. Their presence certainly motivated the juniors as they lapped up everything they taught and their steady improvement could be seen after the two hour session.
Next on the agenda was a mental skills training session by Coach Victor. The juniors enjoyed the session thoroughly as they drew caricatures of themselves and wrote out their thoughts, weaknesses and strengths on butcher paper with the wide array of magic pens and crayons available! They also enjoyed the activity where they have to shout out their strengths as they passed the ball around. This was certainly one of the highlights of the first day.
After a sumptous lunch, the juniors went to KNC for team training. There, they were separated into two teams to be coached by Coach Cheryl and Coach Siew Kim. This session highlighted the juniors' weaknesses in their centre passes and the shooters' mobility in the goal circle. The day was further hampered by the drizzle that followed after an hour. The camp ended at about 5pm on the first day.
