Innebandy!Camp 2011: Camp Report

So here is a report of how the camp went. =)

The camp started off around 6pm with some icebreakers.

Since we had new players joining the camp for the first time, we first introduced ourselves by name and then proceeded to our first activity of the camp, the "Drop-the-blanket-then-shout-the-opposite-person's-name" game. =P

Led by Sam, the objective of this game was to memorize each of our new teammates name.
Split into two groups, guys and girls, the game began. The girls had an obvious advantage over the guys, thanks to the majority of them having chinese names. =D

There wasn't really a winner or loser, but there was definitely great loads of laughter.

After that icebreaker, we headed down to EAT !

Thanks to Nicholes Ong for buying the food and preparing the charcoal.

Thanks to Deswyn for cooking and watching the fire.

There was lots of food. Chicken, sausages, meatballs, pizza, "hand-chopped-salad" and "homemade garlic butter bread". Okay, umm, not alot in variety but plenty in quantity. =D

Everyone ate to their full.

Next the night session. Deswyn introduced the committee and announced the team captain for Innebandy!Co 2011. He then explained the 3ICs and 7LOVs. He also encouraged us to commit them to memory. The night then continued with more games and fun. Then came supper, then lights out.

The next morning started an "Americano Breakfast", consisting of bread, jam, biscuits and cups of milo. After breakfast, it was time for some TeamBuilding. The main goal of teambuilding is to encourage teamwork, perseverance and most importantly Insane Courage.

After a strainous workout and a nice shower, it was time to listen to the "Wise One".

Uncle James/Papa Looi headed this session and gave a deeper sharing on the 3ICs.

He shared how the 3ICs not only applied to floorball, but life in general.

After sharing, lunch, then more games! *points to Kon Joe*
He's the KILLER ! =P

So there it is. A short one day camp filled with plenty of fun, laughter and memories.

Look forward to the next Innebandy!Camp

Draw

*credit to Deswyn for the stats

After 2 years of being unable to emerge victorious against the FLOOR-BALL-ERSS!!!! , the year of 2010 finally saw the breaking of the Spartan curse.

However, it wasn’t an easy battle. The Spartans fought valiantly as always but this time round, they were up against a much more strengthened Innebandy side. With loaded artillery coming from the forwards and a strong fort of defense, Innebandy managed to keep the rampaging Spartan attack at bay- with a clean sheet.

The Spartans definitely played well in defense too keeping the goals against them to a minimum. However, the forward combination of Bryan and Deswyn proved deadly enough to gain Innebandy the victory. With a brace from each of them in the 1st and 3rd period respectively, the Spartan curse was finally broken!

And now.history has been rewritten. The Spartan curse has finally been broken. Because in the year 2010 ,

PFL 2010

Innebandy! Co. 5-0 Frontliners Spartans

WIN

=D

SOT's 40-7 (12-2,16-1,12-4)

Although the scoreline depicts a solid win by Innebandy, this game saw the emergence of the Minden Unihawks team who portrayed the never say die attitude gallantly in the 3 periods of game play on this eventful night.

In the first period, Innebandy! Co.was shown a good display of defense by the Minden Unihawks team. However, it was the goalie W.W. Lee of Minden Unihawks who stood out in holding the MDU fort together. Being on fire that night, she managed to block out most of the shots arrayed from the Innebandy side. Although the SOT’s were aplenty from the Innebandy side, only 1 shot could be converted in the first period resulting in a 1-1 draw in the first period.

During the break after the first period, Coach Sam huddled the team and gave us the talk we needed. “PLAY OUR GAME” and “BE HUNGRY FOR GOALS”. This instruction clearly worked for the Innebandy side as the 2nd period saw us raking in 6 goals out of which 4 were well poached by our “Park” Soon Hooi thus meeting the record set by Sam for him during the break of the 1st period.

At the beginning of the 3rd period, MDU managed to hit back one more goal against Innebandy. However, Innebandy responded by hitting back another 4 goals to end the game with a score of 11-2.

Having responded well in the 2nd and 3rd periods, Innebandy earned the accolade the Flying V from the MDU team thus showcasing the improvement of our gameplay as a team. However, it was a good sight to see not only Innebandy improving but also the MDU team. The floorball scene in Penang is definitely headed in the right direction!=)

SOT: 28-16 (10-3, 6-2, 12-11)


We have come a long way from the days of yore when Innebandy! Co. only used to rely on several key players to bring in the goods. If not for the continuous investment of hard work put in by the coaches coupled with the never say die attitude exuberating from each and every single player in the team, the start to the season would never have been one expected with the scoreline above.

Starting the season against the PFL champions of 2008, we found ourselves more calm and collected on court this year. Good passes led to great playups especially from Line 1 of the team comprising a deadly forward combination of our two attackers Deswyn and Bryan and a bull once fondly known as “Malaysia” now graduated earning the nickname “Park Ji Sung” ;our very own Jason Chew.

Contact gave Innebandy a few scares throughout the match thanks to speedy runs from their forwards. Innebandy faced a side who never backed down till the last minute and their effort was rewarded with a goal scored in the last second of the last period. An attitude to be applauded for!

For most of the game, we seemed to be in control with good ball possession. Shot after shot , we managed to convert 43% of our SOTs. Although there were moments where speedy forward Calvin Lim from CFA managed a few one on one’s with our goalie, the Innebandy defense did a great job defending the fortress in their ranks with a much more mature gameplay this time round.

All in all, it was a good outing for us as we see our game take another step closer to maturity on court. Good mental preparation, good training philosophies, good coaching throughout the years has seen the rise and growth of Innebandy from a “baby” to “Adulthood” *quoting Deswyn*. We will definitely give it our all for the title this year!
