The objective of the Sphere camp is to bond players for next year's tournaments and competitions. It was a wonderful and successful camp. Coaches, teachers and players come together to reinforce beliefs, support and goals, share visions and ideas and most importantly build wonderful relationships amongst us. That worked for me very well. I felt closer to my girls after the camp. I understand them better now and especially the capabilities on each individual. I enjoyed myself tremendously and playing games, sometimes silly and fun games with my girls has made me realised how important it is to keep the things we do simple. We get more out of it - more joy, more laughters(we laugh WITH one another), more smiles, more communications, more support, more belief in one another, more encouragement, more trust, more faith, more confidence, more affiliation, more care & concern and more love for each other.
The first day of the camp i felt it was a little too much for the girls to handle as we had two training sessions (one morning and one afternoon). I felt drained let alone the girls. Then again, this is a training camp for us. We need to prepare ourselves for the netball carnival on Saturday morning with AJC(guest team), Cedar Girls & Hai Sing Catholic High. Most importantly our focus on next year's competitions. All these are going to be serious & tough, bottomline is Are we ready? After the afternoon training, gave them a little time to relax and also a time for me to reflect on those training sessions. In the evening, we had a talk conducted by Mr Peter Khoo & Ms Grace on mental training. It had served its purpose. I particularly liked the videos used and games facilitated by the instructors. The ice hockey game was a classic of 'never say die' mentality, the perseverance displayed by the keeper made an impact to me. I wish all the girls have that mentality - keep going no matter what the circumstances will be. We control what we can do and not what we cannot do.
The second day's training i decided to give the girls more room to focus on what they do, so i kept it simple. After lunch we went to the pool for a light aqua training and also to unwind ourselves. It was a great break from the netball court for me. A different setting to train - got the girls to do some cross training in water - running, stretching and swimming. I thought it was a great idea, then some of them got cramps...lol i did not anticipate that. It was good to see the girls worked hard. After an hour's workout in the water, they were given time to unwind on their own. We played 'murderer' in water - great fun! I like it!
Sat morning was a hectic day for me, thank goodness, i had the sports leaders to help and the girls were cooperative. we had a good time and i am sure the girls had a good exposure playing with the teams. Overall, we did well and i am happy with some of the spirit and movements the girls displayed. There were still room for improvememts and i am still finding the right combination for next year. My only wish - that each player be consistent in their performance in each game. Treat each game as if it's an important last game - give their best!

Both B & C girls got second and our dear rebecca got the MVP award. She got the most votes from the coaches and teachers. We are so proud of her and it does give recognition to her valuable contribution. Keep it up dear!
For the rest - keep going, u were great too!
