Last plan for CCA fair

Ideas:

  1. Let them play with one of us
  2. Team bonding activities (doubles...)
  3. make them do physical activities (competitions)
  4. show them what we usually do during our training
  5. quiz about badminton
  6. create pamphlet, flyers
  7. Booth
  8. Gifts
  9. Show them our gear.


Play with them unless there is a long queue. If there is a long queue, play with them for a while, then let them play by themselves.


Have some small games/activities by the side. (little skill games like shooting or keeping the shuttle cock in the air for the longest time.)


Ushers or banners at a strategic location to get people.


5 point game. **Need to make a roster for the available jobs each of us can do at the certain point of time.


Booth:

Video, questions, quizzes..


Have two groups, A and B so that when one group is resting (eating or water break) another group will take over.


Committee doing the small bazaar games, manning the booth, making the video, ushering, publicity.


Have to be professional, friendly and calm.


Can tell them that these activities is just to interest them in the sport, and it is not our training. Our training is definitely MORE tough.


Mobile. people going around shouting for people to come. (politely) need to make a banner after exams and posters and others.


Preparations may need 3 weeks. need different groups.. 2 major working groups for preparations. Detailed roster would be done by EXCO after exam. (for both actual day and preparation)


We will have to redecorate our blog to show on that day.


EVERYONE will be involved in this event.


Preparation:

Activities: 4

Aisyah, Kok Yin, Nadiah, Michelle, Sue Lun, Zhi Qi


Publicity: 6

Benjamin, Jonathan, Kun Yao, Jun Hao, Tse Tzang, Teoh Yun, Ming Yong, Chen Yu


Exco: 6


Working on $40 and Exco need to allocate to all the groups.

Please tell the Exco the amount of money you need for your preparation. (to various groups)

EXCO to split. (in charge)

2 at FAQ - be able to answer questions

2 activites - look out for good players

Publicity to split into half

Interested people to leave contacts

“Good” players to rematch and EXCO to watch out for skills


Leaders of respective groups to decide about materials, etc. That is needed and inform Mr Lam via email.

What we have discussed today

1. We have training on the 27 and 29 Dec. Another reminder would be issued on a later date.

2. What we can do to improve ourselves, our strengths and ideas to try next year:
- We have a well planned schedule (a little minor issue about the agility not being consistant and maybe leaving out some. Maybe EXCO may look into it.)

- We should have a badminton fund to book courts so as to save time

- We can practice on our own before the coach comes to have more actual training with the coaches (maybe do warm up, agility and footwork before coach comes)

- Maybe come 30 mins earlier for warm ups.

- Having a 3rd training session (most likely optional for those with compulsory events like 3rd
language )

-Making training hours longer if the 3rd training session is not possible.

-Alternate training for competition (matches) and normal skill training to have a balance

Suggestions:
- Have more occasions of the baton running activity

- Team matches with punishment

Others:
-Need of new shuttles and plastic box w/o wheels.

Getting new recruits:
- We could compare the next batch with us.

- We need to have good role-modeling skills

- Be friendly

- Communicate and get feedback on what they look for in training and try to work towards it. (feedback must be on the training not on break time or related stuff.)

- We can play with them to see their talent in badminton

- We should aim for primary school players and those with great interest

- Let the students play with us during recess and lunch

- Let them know training is not easy.

Things to do:
-Relaunch the Facebook page
-Make a relay system
-Make all EXCO an admin or author on the Badminton Blog.

That's all for now.

Badminton Review 2010

Hi,

Think we had a good review - key to a good review is to allow everyone to voice their opinions and I think you did well by not judging or criticising others' comments.

As we were short of time, I didn't go into the question on what you can do to improve yourself. I would like all of you to post your responses here.

What you can do is up to you. Maybe you will want to commit to jogging 4 km every 2 days. Or you want to play badminton for an addition 4 hours every week with friends. You may also wish to read 2 books on competitive badminton this holiday, or swim 1 km twice a week. Important thing is that you post it here, state something that is measurable, and stick to it.

I look forward to seeing your responses - just add it as a comment to this post.

Best regards,
Mr Dennis

Year End Review

Hi All,

Happy to see more people attending training today. See you guys at 8.50am on Wed.

For Wednesday 1Dec, be prepared to stay back for Year End CCA Review, up to 12 noon. If you wish it to end earlier, come prepared to answer these questions:

1. How can we attract and keep good players next year? We will limit the number of new members, so we only want those with the right attributes, i.e., committed, work well with others, confident, loyal.

2. How can you improve the quality of badminton training for yourself? Note that the emphasis is on YOU - what you can do, for yourself.

And to clarify, while I do not rule out the possibility of asking any existing member to leave the team, I certain do NOT intend to do so just to make space for new members. Hence, don't have to feel threatened by the new-comers.

Thanks and see you!

Mr Dennis

Post-friendlies....

Dear members,

It was great to see you enjoying yesterday. You were warm and welcoming hosts, not sure if over-enthusiastic.... but I am sure Bowen Sec could feel your hospitality.

Hope you learn have learnt from your friendly opponents, as well as from the court-managing experience. It's part and parcel of inter-school competitions. Hope you will continue to train hard so that you can play better hosts when other school teams visit us. It's important to make them feel challenged or else they would not find them time here well-spent.

We are proposing an extra training day and the only possible slot is every Friday, at external venues like sports hall or community clubs. Do let me know your views. It will be made compulsory so we need to reach a consensus.

Cheers,
Ms Choo
