Training Learning Points (2/4 - it is APRIL now GUYS)

Here are the basic training points for today(if you would like to update, please do! or tell me to do it)

1. You have 5-seconds possession. Firstly, don't be so anxious to shoot that you miss the goal. Take your time, calm yourself down(does not take more than 2 seconds), aim and shoot. Basically, be careful about each step you take. Secondly, if you are trying to pass to a teammate, look around and take your time to find a teammate that is free/open/will get the ball. Of course, don't take too long. You must have a person in your mind already(what we learnt in last few trngs/land trng), and must be alert at all times and be aware of the game situation. If 5 seconds is up and there is still not a player in sight that is free, rather than giving an any-old-how bad pass that may very well land with the opponent(who can very likely go up and fast break), shield the ball until 5 seconds is up while your teammates can go back to zone.


2. SPREAD OUT once there is change of possession and you are attacking now. Spread to the sides! (see picture below - black dot represents front of boat) Don't stay crammed at the zone(lots of opponents there). Pass to a teammate that is far away PROVIDED you know the opponent cannot easily intercept or travel very quickly to your teammate to get the ball. (will someone please elaborate about this, i am not very sure about the explanation)
3. on losing side - play man-marking(for our standard, don't do this yet.)
4. on winning side - DEFEND. 1-3-1 is fine. don't do the stupid 3 keepers thing.
5. centre zoner, should sweep and try to push an attacker, who has slid in, all the way out to the back(try not to charge keeper). it is the attacker's own problem if he allows himself to be pushed since he is doing nothing inside(if we are caught in such a situation we should get out because we are not doing anything to help the team)

the rest, please just check below.

Focus on your studies, try to do your work earlier so you can concentrate on training! & also if there is extra training, we can turn up.

and PUH-LEASE, cut down on incessant nonsensical talk during debriefs(as well as during game - don't scold one another or waste time talking; competition waits for no one). i think i don't really appreciate it.
