RAIN UNITED
FOOTBALL CLUB
[ FUTSAL 3 on 3 (2nd April 2006) ]
Rain United gathered at the Yew Tee Community Center for a 3 on 3 Futsal tournament. We were invited, courtesy of CCK Community Center to put up the teams to help promote awareness in the neighbourhood - We wanted to do it the best way we could. We put up 4 teams for the U18 aged group.
Our "Park-Ji-Sung" was unable to take part because of his age. It wasn't intentional as we were not told of the age criteria. It was an event that was encouraged by Singapore Sports Council jointly organized by NIKE B.I.R.D. and Weston Corporation Queensway. They wanted to identify a winning team to represent Singapore for International Futsal.
Rain United through its enterprising spirited team players turned up for the event. We were in fact the only Chinese represented teams in the tournament, with Zai as our exception. The tournament was abandoned mid-way through as there were lightning showers. It was good clean fun and exposures for the team, the way team members carried themselves. I was concerned about the lacked of security in the tournament but nevertheless, we took on our roles very well. The team shows togetherness, discipline and were "non-smokers". The game was played on small courts with plenty of physics and fitness to show but no skills.
We ended the afternoon when Mr Naga (chairman of CCK C.C.) came by and thanked the team for supporting his community. He had specially mentioned that the team discipline and professionalism (though we are an amatuer football team) impresses him. He requested Rain United Football Club to help as role models in his CCK community to promote healthy lifestyles through sports in which the following events will be held. The new Minister of CCK will be present to witness the events. Rain United with the nominated players and their talent readily agreed to form teams for the sports events.

Mr Naga has also proposed that we help to advertise the community activities in our Rain United Blogspot. I have given him our details.
