The game is at Sunday 10:20pm at night against a new team with no name. Note that there is no training session beforehand, but it would be good if we can get together at 10pm to work out the frames and people’s positions.
Guys,
Here’s the one link you’ll need for all your soccer resources.
I have included a link on the right hand side of the page under Blogroll.
Each week – i’ll highlight a specific training drill or soccer tip from this vast resource, to help you get better.

General Indoor Soccer Tips
This has general tips on
Guys,
I just wanted to share some of my own experiences and understandings with everyone so here goes… Im not a doctor or a dietian but this info is stock standard out of any website so most of this stuff is useful.
Part 1 – Fluids
Water is useful to hydrate the muscles giving them increased endurance. Your body loses water through sweat so drinking water during heavy exercise is essential.
Milk is useful to combat cramp (apparently) but its not going to get rid of cramp once you get it so drink it during the week. Milk is a good source of protein – the breeder of muscles. Drink this to get big. Adding some protein powder to it, doing weights is the killer one two combo.
Sports Drinks quenches your thirst and adds essential salts to your body. Its ok, but water is alot better for your kidneys.
Fizzy Drinks aren’t good for your teeth or when you play sport. And the dentist is quite expensive these days.
Coffee/ Energy Drinks are diuretics and decrease the amount of water stored in your body. There’s probably minimal performance loss drinking this, but i don’t drink this stuff before sport anyway.
Essentially 2 litres of water PLUS whatever other fluids you take during the day. Taking more is even better but u’ll be going to the toilet more.
If there are any questions please leave a comment thanks! If you think this is lame-o, this will be the last one, otherwise I’ll be continuing this column with Part 2 – Energy Used v Energy Consumed

REAL GUMBIES FC DEF. DRIFTERS 6-5
Scorers: Naveen Nadesan 3, Raymond Lumantarna 1, Greg Potter 1, James Wong 1
Game Notes
Good: Confidence levels are up. Defence excellent at times. Taking the lead with 2 minutes left. Priceless. Everyone played well.
Bad: Endurance can be better. We look like sh1te when our defence is awry.
Ugly: Still giving half a yard to attackers for them to squeeze their shot past defenders. Defenders need to block the shot. This resulted in 3 of the 5 goals even though defence was manning up, but just didn’t quite get to the shot.
VANDERLAY INDUSTRIES DEF. REAL GUMBIES FC 4-1
Scorers: Naveen Nadesan
Game Notes
Good: We looked good in the first 5 minutes until they scored. Lots of passing and cutting them open.
Bad: After they took the shock lead, there was not much fight back especially in the second half. We got forward a lot but never in a real position for a decent shot. May have been fitness? Will work on at training.
Ugly: Not enough possession football, too many long balls. Keepers – please remember to pass it short, and the occasional long one. The problem with the long ball, is that our players have to chase and generally aren’t effective.
