Hello, Welcome to Team Canberra Netball's blog.
We're are from Cdiv`2007 & Bdiv`2008.
Netball = Passion = Love.
And for us, we love Netball more than anything else.
We aim to get top 4 in zonals every year, and to take part in the Nationals is our dream as a whole team.
Even though we do complain about our harsh trainings under the sun, we do take every single training session very seriously because
during friendly matches, we want to play the match "cleanly" and win the match.
as we want to make our Coach, our teacher i/c and our school proud of us.
We are a very bonded team & we do every single thing together. We love each other but we love Netball the most because:
Netball is our sizzling hot passion!
In Netball, it's a team game and moody-ness is our weakness. Why? Because when one of us is down, we're down as a team too.
Which T.E.A.M means Together Everyone Achieves More.

TEAM CANBERRA NETBALL.
Are we a team, or a we not?
I've got to be honest right now. Attendance for today's self-training was totally atrocious. People that went today were only the Sec 3 batch, Shermin (who had to leave early), Regina, Yan Ching, Pei Zhen, Crystal, Fawn and Xin Zhu.
I mean, what could we do with so little people?
As what Miss Lee, Miss Zeng and Coach Fanglin had said earlier on this week during the gathering, they've made it clear that all trainings have to be attended unless with a valid reason (i.e. mc.) and no one is to skip training as and when she likes.
By do or by so By hook or by crook, ALL TRAININGS HAVE TO BE ATTENDED whether you like it or not. How fun is training?
Seriously, trainings are never fun, thats why they are called trainings, not Netball bonding games or whatsoever.
We've already planned today's self-training beforehand on Thursday's training (13/08/09) and came to an agreement that self-training would be held today (14/08/09) at 1400 hrs due to those that are taking HMT.
"ANY OBJECTIONS?"
Those that couldn't make it so late, Peiling have already changed the timing to suit everybody. The best thing was, everybody was at yesterday's training.
Did you even TRY to come for today's training, ask yourself.
"Wahlau eh, training damn sian one lah. Everytime do the same thing. Do until Shanice pull her leg muscle. Do until Apryl complain here complain here. Then warm down must 20 rounds. Sibei sian la. Then courtwork do wrongly Peiling will scold."
NETBALL, IS A GAME WHERE INDIVIDUALS PLAY AS A TEAM. 12 PLAYERS, 7 POSITIONS, 1 COURT, 1 TEAM.
Yes, there are times when I especially don't feel like training. Especially Today. (yah and sorry Vanehhhhh for complaining and complaining). But still I came down. Just for one simple reason - I want to achieve something for our team next year.
Be it just by going into the second round, top 4, or Coach's expectation for b'div - top 2.
Seriously, the feeling suck terribly when you go on court and lose the final ball where we need just that ball to draw the match.
We don't train for nothing. We train for something. Something we want. Something to do ourselves, Coach Fanglin, Teachers and Our school proud.
I want us to walk out of the court smiling with our heads held high. I don't want us to walk out of the court, crying with regrets.
Too melodramatic? Think twice. It happened many times.
I have to reiterate and emphasize the importance of attendance during training again. Not that I want to, but I need to. Please think about it.
P/S. Just one thing, I am not pin-pointing at anybody.
XOXO 四月。

Well, its been long since this blog has been updated.
Which means, the blog is dead. HAHAHAHAHA. So I'm here to revive this old haggy blog with some crap. ^^
Training today wasn't that tough today, is it? For those who haven't been scolded by Coach, lucky you. For those who HAVE been scolded by Coach, please do not underestimate your worth in this team.
COS ALL OF US ARE EQUAL IN STANDARD IN THIS TEAM.
A man can be a crucial ingredient in a team, BUT A MAN CANNOT MAKE A TEAM.
Including me, I've made several mistakes today.. Like lops cannot make it (thats a classic example), running in the wrong direction for turn over etc.
And yes, the sprinting part of today's training. 4 seconds 30 milliseconds to run from baseline to 2nd transverse line, impossible yeah? SORRY TO SAY WE MADE IT POSSIBLE. With a timing of 4 seconds 28 (someone please correct me if I've said the wrong thing)!
We've tried at least 5 times before we could've achieved that timing. It was tough, but we made it. For those who think that they're slow (no names pointed), please don't think that you're slow and you're bringing the whole team down.
REMEMBER THAT WE'RE A TEAM. AND THATS WHAT MAKES US SPECIAL.
If someone makes a mistake, we'll face the consequences together (and yeah no matter how much we complain together too la. esp me hahahha ^^). Cos we're a team. As simple as that.
Although most of us (including myself) don't really look forward to trainings anymore, but we'll still turn up right? REMEMBER OUR PACT FOR TOP 4.
We're CANBERRA NETBALL. We're a team! :D
All for one, one for all.
