So, tomorrow is the last day to send in your registration because it will take 3 days for the mail to reach the company.

Please check with your parents that you will not be going overseas during the period of 10th -23rd Dec (Preliminaries) and 29th and 30th Dec (semi-final and final).

Girls training for 12th Nov (Thu) will be cancelled.

Sorry girls, I have to cancel training for Girls' Team on 12th Nov because I need to prepare for my class's graduation ceremony in the morning, invigilation for O'level in the afternoon and attend my class's graduation ceremony in the evening.

As for the boys, our friendly match (HOME) VS St. Gabriel is still on.
For students who are stuck in the student leader camp, please come and look for me for your excuse letter so that you can be excused from the camp to join the team for the friendly match.

Please refer to the 'page' section for the latest training schedule.

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.
