OFT for the Promos mugging period

2011-08-28T02:32:00.007+08:00

Hello J1s,

This is abit overdue thanks to tests and other stuff and testing out various workout lists. I do apologize, but I hope you had a good rest so far (especially without any semblance of training whatsoever). For those who go to the gym by themselves, good for you, it’s good to see people with initiative to obtain the body the Bronzed God has.

Anyways, here is the OFT for the weeks ahead:
Monday: Upper and lower body
Tuesday: Core
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Upper and lower body
Friday: Core
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Binge (just joking, please eat healthily and rest well. The eat healthy part applies for all days, btw)

Upper + Lower body:

3 sets of 30 pushups,
- For 1st set your arms should be wide apart
- For 2nd set the distance between your arms should be smaller,
- For the 3rd set the pushups should be like the NCC/NPCC style (if not possible, anything narrower than the 2nd set is fine)
- For girls, the number can be dropped to 3 sets of 10 pushups instead.

3 sets of 15 squat jumps
- Make sure your knee doesn’t go past your feet (it helps to keep your back straight and “tighten it”)
- Half squats are fine.
3 sets of 20 alternating jump lunges
- Land softly

3 sets of 1 minute wall sit
- Make sure your legs are positioned at a right angle

Core
3 sets of 20 flutter kicks
- By 20, I mean the count should go like this: 1: 1 (left leg up, right leg down), 2 (right leg up, left leg down), 3 (left leg up, right leg down), 4 (right leg up, left leg down), 2: 1 (left leg up, right leg down), 2 (right leg up, left leg down), 3 (left leg up, right leg down), 4 (right leg up, left leg down)…. Until 20: 1 (left leg up, right leg down), 2 (right leg up, left leg down), 3 (left leg up, right leg down), 4 (right leg up, left leg down). So altogether there should be 80.
- The lower to the ground you can do this exercise, the better. Your legs must be straight and never touch the ground when you do this.

3 sets of 30 sit-ups

2 sets of planks (all four directions), each ‘plank’ lasting one minute
- The key is to keep your body straight as possible.
- Backward plank

Forward plank

Sideways plank

- For the adventurous and Howard

These exercises shouldn’t take too long and can be done within half an hour. We’ll be using this for the first few weeks and then I’ll make further adjustments based on feedback.

For those who think that this is too tough, then it’s okay to tone down the number of repetitions or sets, but it is important to note that you need to slowly increase the number of reps/sets. For girls, a gauge could be ½ of either the reps or sets. To everyone in general, just use your discretion.

For those who think this is too noob or have simply too little time, I’ve tried some online workout videos and found these 2 excellent ones. If you want, you don’t need to follow the weekly schedule, it’s merely meant as a guideline.

For your arms and legs:

For your core:

For those who like to go to the gym and work out, I also have some exercises you can integrate to your gym workout.

3x 15 Weighted 4 directions
- Okay in the gym there are these 3 red things that you can do core exercises in 4 different directions, the forward one, the sit-up and the sideways one.
- For the sit-up and forward one, take a weight plate and put it on your chest and do the exercise. Start from 5 and increase if you feel it’s too no kick. If possible, put it on the back of your head and do. It will open the doors to a whole new level of lactic acid. For the sideways one, go to the side of the gym with the bench presses and take a 10lb barbell and start doing. If too light, then do with the 15lb one and so on and so forth. Remember to do for both sides.
- For the girls, doing without weights is fine.

3x12 Calf raises
- Its one of the machines that needs you to lie down on your front. You can see the part it exercises on the machine label.
- Do with about 50lbs of weight. For girls, 20lbs should be fine.
- Of course, use your own discretion when choosing the weight to use.
6x15 squats
- Take the 2 boxes at the side and put them close to each other (shoulder length apart is fine).
- Take the 50lbs teapot thingy for guys and the orange teapot thingy for the girls.
- Do the squats. Your knee should not cross your foot. Keep your back straight at all times.
- If you want, you can shift the angle between the two boxes. You can shift them to be more parallel to each other or shift them to face outwards more and you’ll feel that they will work different muscle groups.
- If the high jumpers are there, ask if their coach allows you to use as well and see how they do it. Please do not use the weights they use, you will DIE within 1 set or get injured.

Pull-ups
- Start with 1, then let go and do 2, then let go and do 3… then do 5 then let go and do 4, then let go and do 3…. Then let go and do 1.
- For those totally unable to do pull-ups, hang on the thing for 60 seconds (or as long as you can) and repeat for a total of 5 sets. If possible, try to do a pull up.

May your thighs, arms and core burn with the fires of a thousand suns.

I will probably conduct a speed test when we come back for the first training so please keep fit during this period.

Towards a body of the Bronzed God,
Kevin Tan

WATCH THIS

2011-07-14T22:01:00.003+08:00

Hi all (incl. team 2),

As I have said, Ill post the nice video. Do take a look at how they play. Dont juz pan your eyes with the disc, its quite pointless. Instead, forgo that enjoyment and watch how the players (those who try to cut and those on the D) try to cut and D. If you are a handler, watch how the handlers move. If you are a mid, see how a mid cuts. Also watch how they mark handlers and mid, how the defenders move (e.g shuffling of feets etc.).

Very interesting.

2011-07-06T20:28:00.004+08:00

Hi team 1,

Its been a couple of weeks for most of you to not have played/trained. Its fine, as long as my constant reminders of doing your conditioning was followed.

In anyways, since its closing in to inter-JC, I am refining the conditioning so that you would gain the muscles you really need.

For the girls, its fine if you all stay status quo, since its not really nice to develop too much muscles.

Guys,

1) For your pushups, 3x30 should not be a problem anymore. Now try 3x40, and do it with your arms closer together (like the NCC way).

2) For planks, all of you should be aiming to hit 2min at least for front planks, side planks and superman. Its achievable.

3) For squats, try doing with either some weights (its fine if you dont), but please remember, this is very important: its important to emulate the sudden leaping action, instead of going up slowly. You must feel like you are trying to suddenly leap up very fast. Dont fully stretch out your leg if not will hurt your knee.

Thats all for conditionning..

Now, its about inter-JC.

1) RJ has very very kindly handed to me the video of you all playing against them. It is a disc right beside me now. Please suggest to me how I can let you all view it at once.

2) After blocks, its no surprise that the standard of your throws would deteriorate. Thus it is very important that you all spend time BEFORE training to practice your throws. There is only 3 more official trainings left (8, 11 and 14 July), of which I think per training, its good if you all can go down 1-2 hours earlier. Also, there is Eat Disc training on 9 July, where any of you are welcome to go join us, you could be there just throwing, or joining in training, but please go if you can, because its a good time to catch up on your fundamentals.

3) During these 2 weeks, PLEASE TAKE CARE of yourself. Please avoid eating heaty, oily, sweets etc. You would not want to fall sick and worry about not being able to play on inter-JC.

4) Reflect on the 2 years (~1.5 years) you have spent on frisbee. Think about the friends you have made and the things you have learnt through this CCA. Do not harp on the unhappy matters, for there is no point in doing so. Instead, celebrate the fact that you are in a team which in my opinion, is well bonded. On 16th July, go in with the mentality knowing that you have put in all your effort during trainings and that you are with teammates who will be there for one another. Whether you lose or win, you will lose or win as a team. GO HWACHONG!

some scrimmage stats

2011-06-12T23:32:00.005+08:00

HELLO HCULT. I'm Si Jie your J4 senior if you don't know me. Just watched the scrimmage videos by Daniel and I've compiled a few noteworthy stats. Not your normal kind of stats like scores, Ds, assists, layouts whatsoever. But more complex stats that are easier to compile with videos available. Note that I was not present at the scrimmage and whatever I have to say is based purely on what I saw in the videos. So if you think whatever I'm saying is untrue, just take it with a pinch of salt. Okay let's get started.

Total points played was 13 and final score was 8-5 to RJ if I didn't miscount.

Of the 13 points, HC received 8 pulls and RJ received 5. Of the 8 pulls that HC received, only 4 were caught. It's alarming that you guys are still not catching pulls at this stage. What's even MORE ALARMING is that of the 4 pulls that the handlers DID NOT CATCH, 3 of them contributed to a slow start* to the point because the handlers TOOK THEIR OWN SWEET TIME. Of which during one point, you guys were trapped at your own end zone because you guys were TOO FREAKING SLOW and allowed the RJ defence to set up. During another point, your slow start caused a turnover in which RJ quickly took the chance and scored immediately.

(look below for my definitions of slow and quick starts)

SLOW STARTS ARE COSTLY. If you guys are not prepared to catch pulls, at the very least, position yourself at where the disc is going to land, and IMMEDIATELY pick it up and start play.

On the contrary, RJ caught 3 out of the 5 pulls received, and they made 2 fast starts** from the 3 catches. Even when they did not catch the pull, they started quick enough before our guys could even sniff the disc. Often enough, their quick starts resulted in them advancing half the field in a span of merely 10-15 seconds. YES HALF THE FIELD. On the other hand, HC spends nearly half a minute trying to get out of our own endzone on some points. SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE!

*slow starts: taking your time to walk to the uncaught pull, allowing defenders to chase down on you. OR catching the pull and still letting the defender close down on you. OR letting yourself get trapped at the sidelines when you could have quickly picked up the disc and swung it to the center.

**quick starts: chaining at least 2 to 3 passes right from catching the pull or immediately after the pull lands, before defenders can even start the stall count.

One possible explanation for this phenomenon that I observed could be either our pulls land too quickly for the defence to set up on RJ, or RJ's pulls take forever to come down so it makes our guys look like they're slow.

The former could be true. In that case, our guys have to work on the pulls. As for the latter, I'm sure it's more of our guys taking-your-own-sweet-time than the prowess of RJ's pulls, as you can see in the videos.

Work on it guys, a quick start is half the battle won. I'm sure I don't have to explain why right. The stats are proof.

One other thing I noticed from the videos. I spotted quite a number of really unnecessary turnovers caused by absolutely pathetic throws. Why do I say pathetic. Because those turnovers could have easily been avoided if the throwers just put in a bit of effort to AT LEAST PIVOT AND THROW. Pivoting helps not only to get away from your defender, it also helps you to concentrate on your throw more than when you're just standing casually and releasing the disc. I don't want to name names, I'm sure you all can spot yourselves in the videos if you're the culprits.

That's all, please work on your horribly slow starts during training. You all can do a lot better if that particular area is rectified! Jiayou HCULT!

HC vs RJ Team A videos

2011-06-11T17:43:00.002+08:00

Hi guys, daniel took videos of each point of the friendly match we played against RJ yesterday! Anyway he uploaded every single one of them (efficient hor, considering each video took like 40 mins to upload), so here're the first two points (1st to RJ, 2nd to us) and the link to the rest is at the bottom of the post :)

A random post on Inter-JC Trainings

2011-05-29T22:31:00.000+08:00

Hey J1s and J2s,

June holidays have started, which also means Inter-JC will be starting as soon as tomorrow (I think). The next 12 or so trainings should be the most 'xiong' trainings for you guys to prep yourselves for Inter-JC :) Jia you and all the best for Inter-JC :D

For the J2s:
This competition is likely to be your last competition for HwaChong, and the next 12 trainings will also be your last few trainings as a HwaChong Ultimate player. Last year, your seniors did not win anything and we do not wish to see you guys ending up the same way as us again this year. Give everything you've got for your final few trainings and strive to beat your rivals (You know who they are!). I know y'all will be having BT2 after June hols, and academics are more important than Inter-JC for most of you. Try to manage your time well and don't neglect studies for Ultimate! I guess if you guys wanna win it this year, you've got to make sacrifices. Less computer games, less shopping, less KFC and spend your extra time RESTING!! 12 weeks is not a lot of time, but it is still sufficient for you guys to improve A LOT. By now, all of you should know your own strengths and weaknesses, so work very hard on your weaknesses, help your teammates at stuff you are good in. Good luck! :)

For the J1s:
I am Melvin a J3 senior and it's okay if most of you do not know me. This is probably your first major competition for HwaChong since joining HC Ultimate and it will definitely be a great exposure for all of you guys. Although you are going up against J2s from other schools, and the chances of you guys winning them is compromised, all of you should still work hard in during the InterJC trainings because after InterJC, your seniors will be gone and all of you will be on your own. Show the other schools what HC Ultimate J1s are made of :) Anyway, you will be meeting your RJ and AC J1s as well so it will be a good gauge of how far away you are from them or how far away they are from you. Train hard!

Pardon me for my horrible language lol.. Anyway it's lights out soon so bye!

Cheers,
Melvin

If you want to see the rainbow, you've gotta put up with the rain!

For the subsequent trainings, please do the nice things below:

1) Bring at least 1.5litres of water.
2) Bring a disc/ borrow one until end of inter-JC.
3) Come early, if you cannot be early because of academic/impt stuff, sms me the day before. If you are sick and cannot go for trng, inform me also.

I think it is not so difficult right (:

Anyway summary of general points of scrimmage to note for today:

1) Horizontal stack stack closer to handlers if 3 or all of you are being poached short (defender standing between you and handler).

2) Habits: Faking (still almost inexistent and unconvincing)

3) Habits: 6s defence rule (game awareness)

Now, summary of training to note for today:

1) Dumping habit: Fake while preparing for dump (thrower). To get yourself free (catcher), you have to shake off your defender by changing direction sharp.

2) Mid range throws: Throw past a cup with a simple outside in that drops fast to mid for sidelines. This one need practice

3) Swinging drill: Thrower, once throw, run. Poppers must make effort to crash into the cup, and when disc is swung, time your cut for the catch on the other side. When trying to beat a mid, must use instinct to shake the mid poacher off, make SHARP cuts towards or away from the handler at good angle.

Anyway I think you guys have improved quite abit, be encouraged to work equally hard, because skill-time graph is usually logarithimic, rate of improvement initially is always higher. Even if you all continue to train this hard its inevitable that you all improve not as much. So have to in fact, put in MORE effort. Nevertheless, I think the enthusiasm and want for disc during the game is very commendable. (:

Remember to do your conditionning everyday (except on sun)!

Some matters

2011-05-18T19:59:00.002+08:00

Team 1,

Be reminded to do your conditioning today. However, for guys, increase your number of squats per set to 30. I am not sure if this is good but Im doing it myself, go down slowly (should take 2 seconds), and spring up fast, without straightening your knees totally (the impact might damage your knee?).

For core training, guys should be aiming 1min 30s for planks/sideplanks/superman. Girls add 10s to your current standards.

There is training on Friday, time to be set by Weidong, same rules apply, bring disc, water and do not be late. Come with a positive and optimistic mindset, give your 100% for training(keeping force, faking, pivoting, bidding for disc), maybe 80-90% for physical stuff (don over-exert).

---

For training on Tues (vesak), I hope most of you did the 3-man and 4-man drill seriously. It is a boring drill but it is a good way to work on some of your fundamentals. Fundamentals include hucking.

I think you all played quite well against Eat Disc, take it as an encouragement, do not get complacent. Continue working on fundamentals because it is still truly very weak (note the number of wobbly/risky throws during the game).

Daryl noted that there were at least 60 turnovers halfway through the game. He gave up counting.

Lastly, study hard, do not waste your free time now because there will be 3 trainings a week during your june holidays.

With the disc designing wave ongoing, this is a design by Junrong from the current J1 batch. (obviously not by me given my limited artistic talent) Feedback so far have been good, do leave your comments on the tagboard! Thanks :D

Disc

2011-05-11T17:18:00.002+08:00

Hey guys,

Seeing the slew of new frisbee designs, I've decided to try my hand at it! These designs are mostly modified from old open house concepts.

Regards,
Daryl

2011-05-10T21:55:00.000+08:00

Hello! I've updated the side bar so can all the J1s check if their birthdays are correctly noted down and if i missed out anyone. I'm sorry if i did and please do let me know (:

Also below is a disc design by Lincoln that can be considered which i'm posting on his behalf.

Lastly (mainly for J1 & J2), please familiarize yourself with the rules of Ultimate, especially the common ones (eg. fast count, disc space, the various fouls etc.).

Thank you! :D

Jersey Numbers!

2011-05-09T20:58:00.002+08:00

Hi all,

Please visit the URL below to choose your Jersey Numbers. Sorry but J2s are given priority as they may wish to retain their old numbers. J1s are not allowed to take Single Digit Numbers and 69, at the request of Jiaming. The rest are based on a First-choose-First-allocate system.

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dG5wYjZoaWp3b0hGV3diRVhoSTlYSmc6MQ

Those who wish to obtain Single Digit numbers are again required to obtain permission from the seniors(J5s) first.

Regards,

Weidong

Training on Friday (6 May 2011)

2011-05-05T21:54:00.002+08:00

Hi interjc team 1,

Details of tomorrow's training.

Time: 3pm
Venue: Farrer Park

Everyone is to bring a disc (the 4 j1s, you all could get yours by monday since I have not told you all). I already told you all to get one or borrow one by friday. For every person without a disc, +1km to warm-up run.

Everyone who reaches 3pm late without valid reason or without informing weidong, +1km to warm-up run.

I have informed weidong on how to run the distances.

Next, everyone is encouraged to reach early (since school dismisses at 1pm). Start throwing without procrastinating. Training starts at 3pm sharp.

All J1s (and J2s who have the time) are encouraged to come for ED training. It is not official for HwaChong cuz theres no link, but it will help alot for you all to improve. ED training is on Saturdays 9am, farrer park.

Monday's scrimmage against RJ. I have asked RJ capt if could change the timing to afternoon. He is trying to ask the AC team because they are supposed to play RJ in the afternoon. However, there would SURELY be training on Monday, whether morning or afternoon.

Lastly, this is very important. Be responsible for your own academics. Start studying early and regularly so that you could set aside time in the June holidays for training. Academics always come first, so be responsible for your own studies.

Those who have not done your OFT today (CORE TRAINING), complete it now!!! (:

Off Field Training (OFT)

2011-05-04T21:06:00.005+08:00

J2s and the 4 J1 girls (and to the rest if you all want to do it),

As spoken today, everyone is required to do Off Field Training (OFT) everyday, with Sunday being a rest day. Unless you are injured or have any valid reason, please be self-disciplined to do your the OFTs.

On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays:

1) Squats: 3 x 20. Make sure you do these for squats-

a) Look straight ahead. Do not look upwards or downwards at all.

b) Ensure that your knees are parallel to your toes.

c) Squat downwards until your thighs are parallel to the ground.

d) Squat upwards but do not stand up completely (neither do you go up too little).

e) There is no need to do with weights.

2) Push-ups: 3 x 30 (guys), 3 x 20 (girls). Make sure you do these during pushups -

a) Do not come up if you have not completed your set (either 30 or 20). Even when you are tired, just hold in the position until you can continue and finish.

b) Start with distance between hands = distance between shoulders. Second set distance between hands > distance between shoulders. Third set distance between hands < distance between shoulders.

Alternate between push-ups and squats, so that your muscles have time to recover a little. And just a reminder, there is no need to use weights. Using weights might make your thighs look vulgarly coarse and your biceps unnecessarily bulky.

On Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays:

1) 1 x planks: guys (for a start aim 1m 20s), girls (for a start 1m).

a) Pythagoras Theorem. The J1 girls if you dont know whats this ask Weidong.

2) 1 x Left side Planks, 1 x Right side Planks: guys (for a start aim 1m 20s each), girls (for a start 1m each).

a) Pythagoras Theorem. The J1 girls if you dont know whats this ask Weidong.

3) SuperMan - guys (for a start 1m 10s), girls (for a start 1m)

a) Try not to let your thighs touch the ground at all.

b) Raise your arms up straight ahead of you. Do not freefall (you are supposed to be flying).

Top View

Just now when I said when you finish your sets sms me right, I just realised its not a very good idea. I think its important that each of you have some self-discipline to complete them everyday on your own without anyone monitoring.

It takes only about 15-20min (assuming if one whines to himself and procrastinates). These short exercises will help build up your core, upper body and lower body. It helps reducing clumsiness/fumbles, makes throwing stable discs with enough flicks easier, helps you sky people more easily, helps you to pivot without falling down etc etc etc.

The above instructions I wrote them after reading through a couple of sources and after cross-refering and so they are probably (and hopefully) the most 'proper' ways to do the exercises without getting injured.If you feel like you are doing the wrong way and some bone is unscrewing loose. STOP DOING and wait till next training address it.

Thats all jiayou.

Good showing today squad :)

Throwing Technique

2011-03-17T18:16:00.003+08:00

To the J1s and J2s, I have attached a few images and a video with some excerpts regarding throwing for your perusal. This is the best way to throw a frisbee as propagated by our seniors and by us.

Whatever grip you use to hold or are holding, i hope you change it now before its too late, because once you get used to a wrong grip, its very hard to change.

Backhand:

For the Backhand, its best that you adopt this grip, called the POWER GRIP

Heres a writeup from where i got the picture:

This is the most popular grip among experienced throwers. All fingers are gripping the rim tightly, and there are no fingers supporting the disc. This means there is a considerable loss of control, since the release point is much harder to judge. A fair degree of control can be regained through practice, and the loss is offset in some ways by the large power gain produced by the disc ripping off the end of the index finger. This grip does however make it harder to throw the high backhand as there is no support for the sharp upward push on the disc just prior to release.

A certain amount of control also depends on the position of the thumb, and how tight the grip is on the disc. In general, the tighter the grip, the more spin which is able to be imparted to the disc, and hence better control in the wind.

In summary, This grip enables a large amount of spin to be generated through efficient transmission of the flick from your wrist to the disc. It is the furthest and allows you to be very flexible if you are very comfortable with the wrist flick, allowing you to do low release throws as well as isolated wrist flicks only

Forehand:

For the Forehand, the best grip is also called the Power Grip

Normally one can choose to support the disc with the remaining 2 fingers below the disc, main issues include flicking the wrist and using BOTH the index and the middle finger to push the disc so it spins. this AGAIN allows for extreme flexibility with the forehand, and with practice, you can throw the disc out VERY quickly, so you wont get D-ed by the mark.

To end off, here is a video from my Winter League Captain with stuff on Throwing Mechanics.

You can visit his blog for more info on Ultimate.

Hopefully this helps. Change your throws if you havent been throwing right. Change your grip now even if you think your throw now is good.

Weidong

Horizontal Stack

2011-03-14T21:28:00.003+08:00

Dear J1s,

http://www.uccultimate.com/Strategy/HorizontalStack.htm

Do take a look at this for a general idea of what a horizontal stack looks like. Bear in mind though that the stack should be a little further back than what is depicted on the website.

But good job at training today, keep on trying and you'll get there in time, especially with the layouts!

2011-02-25T13:43:00.003+08:00

Hi guys, IVP 2011 will be held on the 19th and the 26th of March this year. All interested player please SMS me this this weekend. Please note however that the competition period is right before and after block tests. Hence time management might be an issue. To counter the problem of academics and incoming tests, i propose that all players meet up during the march holidays to study together so that studying becomes more efficient if peers are able to help each other.

Please reply ASAP, If response is too poor, we will not field a team this year. But do note that IVP is an important competition for us and its a great opportunity for us to meet up and test the standards of other JCs. J1 girls are allowed to indicate interest, so if you are up to it, Please indicate interest. We will have a crash course for C1 girls so not to worry if you think you are not skilled yet. Attitude is the most important and we hope to see you all step up and rise to the challenge.

C1 guys are unfortunately not that encouraged to participate, it will be more strigent for selection of C1 guys.

Thank you

Do reply soon!

Training on 8/2/2011

2011-02-08T22:23:00.002+08:00

Dear J2s,

For those of you who have attended today's training, i think we all generally felt like it was a good training. In the sense that whatever we do seem to have a purpose on the field. i think the main thing about today which is commendable is i saw everyone putting effort to do what you were supposed to do. i guess there were fumbles and screwups here and there, but it didnt matter to me as much as it did on previous trainings. i think through today's training, you should learn the valuable lesson that it doesnt matter if you are good or not currently, because it is still training. you have to put in effort and think about what you are doing, whether it is right or wrong. when executing, dont think too much and just focus on giving it your 110%. only think before you execute, and after you do so, as such i believe we will all be able to improve as a team. seriously speaking i think we probably seem to be abit down in spirit at the moment. i blame it on myself for being unable to motivate you all as much as i would like to. but i do hope that with each passing training, we will become closer and develop more spirit, this is something that is inexplicable but something we should all commonly feel.

I would really like to commend people on their effort today. IT is this type of training where we see that training really helps to improve us together, it should be individual training, but rather team training, improving together, gaining spirit together. i hope this kind of trainings will continue on from now till Interjc, so that there will be NO regrets the day we leave the field at Sengkang.

Stuff to note:

-When cutting, be decisive. Decisive cutting is both agile and deadly. let the defenders jaw drop when you do your shit. dont worry about cutting angle and what not. FIRST just be able to cut up and down vertically. whatever comes later. im sure we will all be able to grasp those things, but basics matter most.

-Cut hard, i think this enhances the deadliness of your cuts.

-throw well. This is something which is quite paradoxical. i want good throws, but if you dont throw lousy throws first, no good throw will ever come out. We will give ourselves 3 weeks. from next week (16/2/2011) until (9/3/2011). whatever throws you want to try in game, out of game, three man drill, we will try. basic throws priority. after these three weeks or screw ups, we wont tolerate any crappy throws. i have said b4, we are an ultimate team, if we cant throw for nuts sake, then its really quite stupid. i hope we will treasure these 6 trainings, such that every single one of the j2s can throw properly by the end. if not punishment will follow for every crap throw. i dont want to hear 'i cannot huck' or any of such nonsense after that, especially for handlers. when u see an opportunity, just huck it. if it screws up, nvm. the 3 weeks buffer is for you to try your limits and get ur throws right. dare to screw up, then you will become more creative like ken robinson said and you will throw better than ever.

-communication- clearly very important. note that we only played 5 v 5 today. far easier than 7 v 7 where there will be higher probability of some blur blur person not knowing what to do. always be clear of what your team is doing. be clear of what you must do. if conflicting, raise it immediately. unclear please check. know what you supposed to do. take the initiative if no one is willing to. eye contact is the best form of communication in game.

-lastly, end zone play. we must perfect ykk. 1 gun 2 gun and others we will learn, but not b4 we can at least carry out ykk every time we hit the endzone.

sorry for my extremely long message. i hope we can keep the promise about the throws, and we can keep improving. we can do it, please dont give up. i wont.

Dear all,

Some of your have trouble cutting, and this might help a little.

http://parinella.blogspot.com/2005/07/rules-for-cutting.html

http://parinella.blogspot.com/2007/06/purposeful-walking.html

The first link pretty much explains the basics of cutting, which should be ingrained in your already. The second link, however, is much more insightful, albeit a little more complicated. Do take a read and ask if you have any questions.

stuff you might wanna do at home if you're bored

2011-01-12T17:15:00.002+08:00

as the title suggests, I will be posting some stuff (obviously PT-related) that you can do at home if you want to burn off fats/become as fit as weidong. These exercises target different areas of your body so make sure you do the correct one to improve the correct aspect, otherwise it would be useless (e.g. Air Alert for jumping).

So yupp. Just a disclaimer: I didn't come up with all these exercises myself. They were taken off the internet somewhere. I should have acknowledged the sources but in case I didn't, please tell me so that I can edit it. Thanks!

Trainings for this year

2010-12-22T23:17:00.002+08:00

Hi all,

Sorry for making a mistake about the last training for the year part. I admit its my mistake for thinking this week was the last week of the year. Haha really honest mistake.

In lieu of this, there will NOT be training next week unlike what yingsiu had previous messaged. Please take this time of to recover your sore left groin, muscles and mental strength. I hope everyone can think about what you really want to do for Ultimate and your studies in the coming year. Take some time off to study for your FIRST-DAY-OF-SCHOOL tests and think about what you want to become.

Come next year stronger and we will beat down any obstacles together as a team!

HCult 2011

P.S. sorry this post looks damn ugly. i cannot edit the bloody font and color. Sorry lol and MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

2010-12-22T16:21:00.002+08:00

hello guys! i think there is some huge misunderstanding about our break from training. The break ends this week, ie. the break lasts till christmas! Hence, training resumes next week. However in lieu of the new year, friday's training is cancelled. And of course, MERRY CHRISTMAS, XOXO!

Scoring Matters

2010-12-08T14:58:00.002+08:00

hey guys, we had an argument over this rule but here is what i found! :)

If a player scores according to XI.A, but then unknowingly throws another pass, a goal is awarded to that player, regardless of the outcome of the pass. However, if it is unclear if the player scored according to XI.A (i.e., there is no agreement on the player who had best perspective, and there are opposing view points on the play), the result of the pass stands.

xi.a(sioh)

btw have fun at TGCP guys! ive some treats for u guys :D

2010-12-04T23:47:00.002+08:00

2010-12-01T20:11:00.004+08:00

I sms-ed yall already, but in case you didn't catch it, here it goes.

We would be buying ZD discs from Joel Loo at $18 per disc so drop me a sms with the quantity if you want to buy it by tomorrow 6pm. Late replies WILL NOT be entertained and please bring your money on friday. If you're not going for training on friday, get someone to pay it for you first because we are not your cash cows. NO MONEY NO DISC.

*For j2s, i think either melvin or jiawen would be liasing with yall.

Also for every training, please bring at least 1.5L of water. If you bring 1 small pathetic bottle that you carry to school on a daily basis, it is clearly insufficient and you would end up koping other people's water like from my trusty tumbler which results in me not having water to drink halfway through training which is irritating. And of course our dear welfare rep is in sichuan so we dont have any team water so as to speak.

Thanks! :D

Throwing

2010-11-28T11:01:00.002+08:00

Hi all,

For all that still think their throws are unstable, please watch this video. I found this to be quite interesting in the way it encourages your to not use your body for basic throws. this is for short/medium range throws. For hucks you still have to use some body if you want it to go far.

Hope it is useful, the throwing on one leg

Zone.

2010-11-18T19:50:00.002+08:00

Dear all,

If you're unsure as to how a zone works, you can read this for some idea. http://www.ultimatethoughts.com/2009/04/zone-o-motion.html

It's not the holy grail, but the concepts explained should be enough to give you a rudimentary understanding of how to play zone offense.

Regards,
Daryl

2010-11-17T19:41:00.004+08:00

HELLO!!! Training on Friday (19/11/10) is at Anchorvale (the fields we played the RJ friendly at if you don't know which field it is).

2.Take bus 372

3. Take LRT to farmway or farm something, sorry i cant remember.

When i sms yall for attendance, please dont dao me anymore or i'll be very sad D:

rules from official upa

2010-11-15T19:56:00.002+08:00

great job Yingsiu!

anyway i saw some differences to the "delay of the game" rules which i will quote from the official UPA one.

# If the disc comes to rest on the playing field proper
The 70 x 40 yard box
, a member of the team becoming offense must put the disc into play within ten seconds after it comes to rest. After ten seconds elapse, a defensive player within three meters of the disc may announce "disc in," and then initiate and continue the stall count, but only if a defensive player has given audible warnings of ten and five seconds (the pre-stall).
# If the disc comes to rest other than on the playing field proper, a member of the team becoming offense must put the disc into play within twenty seconds after it comes to rest.

1. If the disc is not reasonably retrievable within twenty seconds (e.g., far out-of-bounds or through a crowd), the player retrieving it may request another disc and any delay or pre-stall count is suspended until the offensive player receives the new disc.
2. If the disc is in the end zone, after twenty seconds elapse, a defensive player within three meters of the disc may announce "disc in," and then initiate and continue the stall count, but only if a defensive player has given audible warnings of twenty, ten and five seconds (the pre-stall).
3. If the disc is out-of-bounds, after twenty seconds elapse, a defensive player within three meters of the spot the disc is to be put into play may announce "disc in," and then initiate and continue the stall count, but only if a defensive player has given audible warnings of twenty, ten and five seconds (the pre-stall).

another common confusion is to when to check the disc. i.e. contact the disc to the ground or let the opponent "check" it.

To continue play after the disc becomes out-of-bounds, a member of the team gaining possession of the disc must carry it to, and put it into play at, the spot on the playing field proper nearest to where the most recent of the following events occurred:

1. the disc completely crossed the perimeter line;
2. the disc contacted an in-bounds player;
3. the disc contacted a defensive player; or
4. the disc became out-of-bounds due to contact with the out-of-bounds area or a player while any part of the disc was inside the perimeter line.
i take this as, if u manage to catch the disc on the perimeter line, with the disc in-bound but u are not. the disc DO NOT return to where it crosses the perimeter line

After establishing a pivot at the appropriate spot on the field, the thrower must touch the disc to the ground before putting it into play

okay thats abt touch the disc to the ground, next to checking the disc.

If a team gains or retains possession of a dead disc in the end zone that they are attacking, the disc is checked into a live state where the infraction occurred, and the thrower then proceeds.

as long as the disc is not live, dead (uncontested fouls called, timeouts.)so when those situations occur, allow opponent to touch your disc to restart play! turnovers are not necessary to check since they can stall u from 3 metres out. unless u got arms that long. pls do scroll downwards and check out Yingsiu's summary!

2010-11-15T17:10:00.002+08:00

Hello! Like what Jack and the other seniors told us today, we should go read up on the rules, especially in view of the friendly against RJ this Wednesday. *edit* Scroll to the bottom and click on the link provided by the J3s which says "Rules of Ultimate (from WFDF)".

Here are some rules that i feel is quite important if you don't have time to read the whole thing (sorry i abit free today):

1. TIME-OUT

A. Each team is permitted two (2) time-outs per half in games to
17 or less, and three (3) time-outs per half in games to 18 or
more. Each team is permitted exactly one (1) time-out in
overtime. Overtime occurs when the score is tied at one point
less than the number of points for which the game was
originally scheduled. (Example: In a game to 19 points,
overtime occurs when the score reaches 18-18.)

B. Each time-out lasts up to two (2) minutes.

It is a turnover if a player calls a time-out when his/her team
no time-outs remaining

I. If a member of the receiving team touches the disc during
flight of the throw-off (whether in- or out-of-bounds) and the
receiving team fails to catch it, the team which threw-off
gains possession of the disc at the nearest point on the
playing field proper. If a player drops the disc while
carrying it to the point where the disc will be put into play,
the team which threw-off gains possession of the disc at the
nearest point on the playing field proper.

J. If the receiving team allows the throw-off to fall untouched
to the ground, and the disc initially lands in-bounds, the
receiving team gains possession of the disc where it stops.
If the disc initially lands in-bounds, then goes
out-of-bounds, the receiving team gains possession at the
point on the playing field proper nearest to where the disc
first went out-of-bounds.

3. Invoking the Middle Brick Rule. If the throw-off lands
outside the field of play, the receiving team may choose
to put the disc into play at the halfway between the two
sidelines either at the point where the disc went
out-of-bounds or at a point 10 yards upfield from the
goal line they are defending. To invoke the
"middle /brick rule," the member of the receiving team
who is going to receive the throw-off shall fully extend
one hand above his/her head and call "middle" or
"brick". The player must let the disc hit the ground.

For a receiver to be considered in bounds after gaining possession
of the disc, the first point of contact with the ground must be
completely in-bounds. If any portion of the first point of
contact is out-of-bounds, the player is considered out-of-bounds.

1. If a team gains possession in the endzone which it is defending:

A. The player taking possession must make the immediate decision
to either:

1. Put the disc into play from that spot, or

2. Carry it directly to the closest point on the goal line
and put it into play from there. If this option is
chosen, the player taking possession commits the player to
put the disc into play at that point.

B. To fake or pause after gaining possession commits the player
to put the disc into play at that point.

2. If, as a result of a pass from a teammate, a player receives the
disc in the endzone which they are defending, that player does not
have a choice of advancing the disc to the goal line.

5. Stalling.

A. A defensive player within three (3) meters of the pivot foot
of the thrower may initiate a stall count. If an offensive
player moving into the throwing position "stands over the
disc" (i.e., within three meters) without putting the disc
into play, the marker may issue a "Delay of Game" warning. If
the disc is not picked up, the marker may initiate a stall
count.

D. If the defense decides to switch markers; and if the new
marker wishes to initiate a stalling count, s/he must start
again from "one" ("1").

1. In the event of a contested stall, if the pass is
completed, play stops, and possession reverts back to the
thrower. After a check, the marker starts the stall count
at eight (8).

2. In the event of a contested stall, if the pass is
incomplete, it is a turnover, and play continues without
interruption.

Force-Out Foul. If an airborne receiver catches the disc , and
is contacted by a defensive player before landing, and that contact
caused the receiver to land out-of-bounds instead of landing
in-bounds, the receiver must either call him/herself out-of-bounds,
or call a force-out foul on the defensive player. If this foul
occurs in the end zone and it is uncontested, a goal is awarded.

Should the thrower recognize a double-team situation, s/he
first calls "Double-Team" as a warning. On the first
"Double-Team" call, the marker must subtract 2 from the stall
count. If "double-team" is called again within the same 10
seconds, play stops and is resumed after a check with the
count reset to zero (0).

5. Any time the marker's count is interrupted by the call of a
foul, violation, pick, or time-out, the count is resumed as
follows:

Defensive Foul Uncontested. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0
Defensive Foul Contested. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .same or 5 if over 5
Offensive Foul. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .same
Travel or Pick. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..same or 5 if over 5
Strip . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 0

Fast Count / Double Team
First Call. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 2; no check
Second Call. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .0
Time Out. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .same
Contested Stall . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8

7. If the marker counts too fast, the thrower may call "fast count."

A. The first "fast count" call is a warning. On the first
"fast count" call, the marker must subtract 2 from the stall
count.

B. If "fast count" is called again within the same 10 seconds,
play stops and is resumed after a check with the count reset
to zero (0).

Dear all,

Training resumes this week officially with OP ending. Training will be held in the mornings this week at Anchorvale. For all trainings, Please meet at 8:30 am at Sengkang MRT.

Bring what you have to bring.

On Wednesday, we will have a first (kinda) friendly with RJ + Alumni. Training on that day will be light with warmup drills for the game. Those that do not go for Monday's training without any official reason will be excluded from the game on wednesday. The venue is unconfirmed. Most Probably will be at RI field. Despite it being a public holiday, i hope most of you will turn up as after the friendly, there will be a team meeting to settle all the imminent issues facing our team.

On Monday, ExCo please take charge of training as Leonard and I will be away on CCA workshop. Ironic i know

Thats all for now.

Weidong

Hi all,

Firstly, Eat Disc players please read the minutes and do the necessary actions required. I think the AGM turned out well because we discussed some of the issues which has been hindering the team, and there were nice solutions to the problems.

Secondly, RJ Alumni usually trains on Sat at anchorvale, they suggested that we join them at anchorvale on Sats when we train because sometimes they wouldnt have enough people going for training (10-14) and we too have such problems. I think its a good idea because we will get to play and train with and against them although for some people it would be more troublesome because they have to spend 20min more to travel (which actually I feel, is not that much). Need opinions please.

Please reply!

Hi ex-captain here again!

Understand that the J1s are starting to train again!
But please take care of your health in this bad haze - bad for e health to do vigorous exercise with this haze going on ( and on and on for about another 3 weeks )
so take care!
Anyway, some of the seniors ( us lol ) have been seeing y'all flick around in school and have given some tips for y'all to improve. by pointing out 3 common mistakes :O

1) Flicking but not looking at your target.
I know some may feel the need to add this extra spin and power to the disc when they flick. especially when flicking to some target far away. BUT. accuracy is just as important as strength!! No point being able to flick your disc far away from you, and equally far away from your actual target.
So to change this bad habit, focus on your target, DON'T look away and flick your disc out towards your target, i.e. MAINTAIN EYE CONTACT! =D

2) Distractions!
Uh don't really think the boy-gal distraction is like alot for yall. except for certain peeps. :O
Okay that's not the point lol.
It's understandable that some people have began to explore different types of throw etc. BUT. BASIC IS TEH MOST IMPT!!! The nice-looking throws looks nice larh, but its usage and accuracy in game is pretty much limited :O ( unless you can prove that you're seriously proficient in that throw, don't attempt to anyhow use it in game!)
Fastest way to get basic right is, well practice! By know y'all should have know a few other common mistakes, or symptoms, etc. I.E. wobbly disc. disc flying off target. disc without spin. disc that fly so fast until it is kinda hard to catch. etc.etc! Just take note of this mistake and make and effort to change and rmb. you quickly get your basic down! =D * especially useful when you havent flick for very long time *
3) Curls!
Same thing, more peeps are starting to advance their disc-flicking skills * or wadever other terms you give it 0.0 * but take note! basics first. den accuracy. den feasibility ---- if your throw can't get to your target when you're being mark or when there's high/strong wind , its D: . or D< for some of you.
So start practicing getting round tight defense! =D and high/strong wind.

So JiaYou for training! =D or self-training for those enthu-kia

Byes!

P.S EH SERIOUSLY STOP TRYING TO ENTICE THE J2s TO PLAY FRISBEE! WE CAN HEAR YOU DROPPING THE DISC WHEN YOU'ALL PLAY IN CENTRAL PLAZA WHEN WE MUG IN READING ROOM! D< ! WE STILL NID TO STUDY!!! ROAR!!!

2010-10-13T23:05:00.004+08:00

Heya the ex Captain here!
Not sure if any J2's still visiting this site. uh this is my 2nd time in like dunno how many months LOL!
Anyways. One more month to WinterLeague. okay not my point. ><
One more month to A level.
So work hard and jiayou so that 2 months later you don't start to regret :O

current J1s starting to enjoy life again, but please dun start playing frisbee in school to distract seniors LOL!
go organise training/outing/etc outside AND DON'T INVITE US

for the sake of our A level, future universities, and well, prolly a life-and-death matter that sorta stuffs =D

Thank you

BONDING BASICS
You must first learn why atoms bond together. We use a concept called "Happy Atoms." We figure most atoms want to be happy, just like you. The idea behind Happy Atoms is that atomic shells like to be full. That's it. If you are an atom and you have a shell, you want your shell to be full. Some atoms have too many electrons (one or two extra). These atoms like to give up their electrons. Some atoms are really close to having a full shell. Those atoms go around looking for other atoms who want to give up an electron..... (extracted : http://www.chem4kids.com/files/atom_bonds.html )

so, give and take, and be happy! =D

P.S. no i am NOT growing crazy from studying

Hi guys! As said, i'll post a list of people who replied me indicating interest for Winter league 2010 but have not scouted for their buddies. For the apprentice league, yall are allowed to partner a buddy and enter the league together, however it is NOT a must. For the pro league, no buddies allowed. So yall can find a buddy from the list below and ask them personally if they want to partner you and then sign up by yourselves. yall can check http://winterleague2010.blogspot.com/ for more details.

GUYS:
-Jiada
-Jon. Voon
-Jun Rong
-Sherwin
-Leonard
-Jon. Seng
-Donovan
-Htet Aung

GIRLS:
-Yinghui
-Kailin
-Shermaine
-Jiamin
-See Wei
-Yingsiu

This list may not be complete as i believe that some people who are interested did not reply me. As such yall can scout for your buddy even if they did not indicate their interest to me. Thanks! :D

S for Season.

Hey Guys,

It's been a while since this has been updated. Promos are ending soon, which means that trainings will now resume.

@Weidong/Leonard, do get back to me as to when your want trainings to resume again. I'm looking at next week earliest.

For the rest of your, do check out this website. http://winterleague2010.blogspot.com/
@J1s, I strongly encourage each and everyone to join this league, as a way of self improvement. You won't turn into a superstar just by joining this, but seeing people play at a much higher level will definetly motivate you to push yourself harder.

@the rest, I'm pretty sure your will sign up, so I'll be seeing your on the fields!

See you soon.

Regards,
Daryl

Hi,

I know everyone is in the midst of Mugging intensely for Promos, but here are two suggestions for you to keep practicing those lower body muscles while taking a small break from mugging!

(Do these Slowly so you dont injure yourself and to get maximum "pleasure" and effect)

Frog Squats:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGaOkZqJABA

Calf Raises:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic3hLlPxtFA

Jogging for probably 1-2 km to maintain Stamina

Please keep fit. Especially people going for Grab Huck Score 2010.

Jiayou for Promos!

6. Registration form consists of team players name, IC, contact, HP, blood type, NOK & NOK contact and registration will be done online. Captains, do collate the details so that it will be much easier for registration.
7. Registration fee will be S$100/team, and payment method will be ATM transfer. Payment is to be done before the registration deadline (15 Sept 10).
