Presenting...

THE IVP TEAM 2010 and IVP CAMP 2.0.1.0

the long-awaited-for team of IVP 09/10 is finally out!
CONGRATULATIONS to those who have made it, this is the beginning of a path filled with challenges, obstacles, difficulties and never the least, teamwork, fun and friendship!

Here are the 23 warriors blessed with the chance to represent their comrades to fight for the ultimate glory - the coveted 3rd CHAMPION title: (in no particular order)

Our last wall of defense: Our 2 goalies: Pris and Sam "Munchie" Neo

Our steady and strong gatekeepers: Our 7 defenders: Huda, Cin, Liying, Wanting, Tina, Cheryl "Anusha" Teo and "Mother" Teresa

Our unpredictable strategists: Our 3 centres: Angela, Shan and Duck "quack quack"

Our deadly attackers: Our 11 forwards: Joan, Louie, Jiying, Ayuni, Farah, Sharon, Wenna, Pris Chia, Rury, Jo "tinker" Toh and Elita

With our dedicated mentors, Charles and Gopalankrishnan Kannan Nambi, and our ONE COMMON GOAL - THE CHAMPION TROPHY, that will bring the size of the entire squad to the familiar number, 26. There are 26 holes on a floorball ball - the 23 warriors, the 2 mentors and the 1 goal make this champion dream WHOLE and COMPLETE.

We are in this together from the beginning till the very last whistle.

This also means that we are all standing at the starting line of a very long race together, shoulder to shoulder. Lets take the first step towards our goal together as well.
An IVP camp has been organized to bring the squad closer and strengthen the bond between us. It will be held from 19-20 December, Saturday to Sunday. It will be a great time to learn more about each other and help one another grow in this sport. All we have is but one another, so lets start this race on a strong foot - Come Down For The Camp.

The organizing team has spent sleepless nights and meticulous planning to make this camp possible, but without the keen participation of the participants, their efforts will be wasted. So please do come down for the camp, i promise you, it will be one experience that will make this race all the more memorable and meaningful.
















No matter how different our characters are, all we need is a common goal to set aside our differences and fight together for one another! (:

GIRLS: TIME TO UP THE TEMPO A LITTLE MORE....

To dream anything that you want to dream, that is the beauty of the human mind.
To do anything that you want to do, that is the strength of the human will.
To trust yourself, to test your limits, that is the courage to succeed.

27 days and counting, its time we condition our bodies to the intense competition that is going to be brought to us.

As you should have already know, this year's IVP will be played in RP's air-conditioned sports hall. It will be an entirely different experience compared to humid TSH where we normally train.

Hence, this week there will be a HIT AROUND in the SIM GRAND HALL, which has the most similar conditions to the RP sports hall. It is highly encouraged for you to come down to get a feel of playing in a cooler environment. Coach chua has gave a verbal promise that there will not be PT, the session will be focused on game play!

Do not miss this opportunity and continue to come for the regular trainings this week as well.

GIRLS: ONLY 5 WEEKS TO GO!

we got to start looking at the hands of the time we've been given here: 34 DAYS!
this is all we got and we got to start thinking it
every second counts on a clock that's ticking
to turn it all around or to throw it all away

the last training showed a postive change in the attitudes of those who came, everyone was focused, cooperative and working hard in every drill. KEEP IT UP GIRLS!
it was proven that just by a mere change in our attitudes and putting more effort into every drill, we got to achieve so much more from the training.
hence,in every training, lets aim to perform BETTER than the previous session and improve faster!WE CAN DO IT! (:

a good place to start will be to BE ON TIME for every training.this may seem like an insignificant task, yet it is capable of showing the level of seriousness one treats trainings.

enough is said, here is the training schedule for this week:

GIRLS TRAINING

date: 8 dec Tuesday
time: 745-10pm
place: Tampines Sports Hall

date: 11 dec Friday
time:745-10pm
place: Tampines Sports Hall

never underestimate those who are behind you.

if you keep looking back, you will never see how far you are behind those that are ahead of you.

PRESS ON GIRLS!

THE STAGE IS SET

hey girls,

the fixtures are out, the match dates are set.
our opponents are sharpening their blades and honing their skills with the goal of challenging our dominance in the ivp floorball arena.

lets not disappoint them, by giving them any less than what they expect from the reigning champions.
our seniors have set the bar for us and it is our responsibility to make sure that we maintain, or even better, outperform it.

With each passing day, the competition draws nearer. WE HAVE TO STEP UP OUR GAME.
EACH training session is crucial to our preparation. the path to defending our title started long ago for some but others still fail to see the urgency.

time waits for no one.to those who have been coming down for trainings, continue to fight hard for a position. to those who have not been attending trainings, its still not too late, but do not keep your teammates waiting.

with this being said,whats left is up to you. Here are the training details this week:

GIRLS TRAININGS
date: 1st dec tuesday
time: 745-10pm
place: TSH

date: 4th dec friday
time: 745-10pm
place: TSH

"our opponents may be in greater numbers compared to us (as shown in the picture by the bigger sized baby), but so long as we fight together (as shown by the smaller sized puppies), we can hold them off!"
