Training Schedule Update

As of now, the training schedule is still being updated.

• Friendly match (HOME) with St. Gabriel have been shifted back to start at 1.15pm and ends at 5.15pm.

To my grimace, I still hear people mentioning that they do not know how to access the "page" section for the latest training schedule and their only means of finding out when will be the next training is by a picture taken from Whatsapp from "I DON"T KNOW SINCE WHEN" and by "DON'T KNOW WHO"!

Now, imagine my face like this

Please...... If you don't know, please ASK!

I really do not want any one of you to report one morning to school for badminton one day and realise that there is no training for that day. or worse still, training is in the afternoon.

Video on Movement training

Hi all,

while I was researching on badminton training technique,
I fell upon this video on Movement training and would like to share with all of you.

Please spend some time to look at the video.

The video focuses on the technique of always going back to the center and pushing yourself towards the direction of the shuttle that is coming back to you.

This technique, employed together with aiming at the empty spaces when returning the shuttle technique can be a very deadly combination when during a match.

Training schedule update

All of you are to refer to the Noticeblog for the latest version of the training schedule.

There is a reason why I added a completion percentage at the back of the post!

Do not simply take a photo of the training schedule and hope that it will not change.

Please check the Noticeblog the night before training for the confirmed venue and time, at least until it is 100% completed.

Update: Year-End-Retreat to be put on hold

Dear students,

I hope all of your are studying hard and making your final preparations for your End of Year Exam.

This post is to inform all of you that the Year-End-Retreat (Trampoline Park) that I have mentioned will be on hold until further notice.

We are trying to make the retreat a meaningful one for the team and

As a lot of administration is required for the arrangement for this End-Year-Retreat and I really seek your understanding, patience and cooperation on this matter.

Thank you.


As of now,

1. There is a very high chance that the Trampoline Park idea will not go through.
2. We are in the mist of looking for an alternative site for our retreat.
3. There is a chance which the retreat will be pushed over to next year.
