RAIN UNITED
FOOTBALL CLUB
[OUR TRAINING THIS WEEK]
Despite the commemoration of the World Cup, the turn-out for our weekly session was a breeze. Though some of our players might have probably overslept after staying up for the "live" telecast, others have made good effort to come by.
The 7 aside tournament next week will commenced on 18th June 2006 / 0800am and training on the 17th June 2006 will be cancelled so that we can have more rest. Players are encouraged to drink more water to avoid suffering from cramps or dehydration. Rain United, which has submitted 2 teams for the tournament has fortunately been group seperately. Team players with the captains are to look for Mr Aw at 0800am next Sunday. Please ensure to put on your shin guards and do not wear any jewellery during play.
The game which will be played over 6 minutes each half and a winner will be decided eventually. In the event of a draw game after the full 12 minutes, the game would go into 3 minutes of sudden death with penalty kicks to be decided if it still ends in a draw. With each group comprising 5 teams, there will be a round robin to decide the top 2 teams in each group, which will proceed to the semi finals.
Players were also adviced not to be lead into getting themselves into any form of troubles. This is taken into considerations that we have Rain United members who are either on foreign student visa, permanent residence, work permit holders or have enlisted themselves with a career in the military. The team also warmly welcomed back Cai Quan, who has shown improvement on his well-being over the last couple of weeks.
After the 7 aside tournament, we will work ourselves to be prepared for the "Rain United Challenged Trophy 2006" which will be held after the World Cup finals. The players from the represented teams, will come together to form "Rain United 2". With this, we hope that there will be continuity to drive fun and healthy football. Apart from Jason and for safety reasons, whom I have seriously put considerabale thoughts to draft him into the 11 aside friendly cup challenged tournament, he has remained a good Rain United member.
