As the Schwarz Star FC Invitational League got underway, SSFC was up against Team Dynamo @ Fuchun Secondary.

SSFC was down 1-0 within 4 minutes when a lapse in concentration and a bad passs out the opponent through on a  1v1 against the SSFC GK.Alfie palmed the ball away but the SSFC defenders were caught in “day dreaming” mode..

That woke up the Falcons…from then on it was 1 way traffic from the Falcons and passing was short and crisp..switching flanks at will. Siva was a constant threat to the opposing defence and netted the equaliser before half-time.

The 2nd half started off form where it left off with Siva getting his second goal of the game. However as fate has it..the opponents got equaliser from a free kick which their striker “ghosted” behind the defenders to nod in the equaliser…final Score 2-2 …

Learning Points: To be more clinical in front of goal and to have more agrressive play..be more intimidating..

Communication is improving within the team and with the Seminar coming up on the 2/11/08..is somethign the players and the management will be looking forward to..

Introduction

Currently there isn’t any record of the attendance of players. As such, the regularity and seniority of players is informal and unofficial. For a structured according of status to players, there has to be a record of attendance of players that provides players with something meaningful to accomplish.

Initiation

“Niner”, as the representation of a ‘family member’ of Schwarz Star.

Objective

Players will be accorded a player status based on their commitment to Schwarz Star. Awards will also incentivized players to commit to a new status quickly.

Operation

Players who attend 9 out of 20 training sessions will be considered as a Niner (matches not included). If you are unable to attend 9 within 20 training sessions, you are considered to have revoked your earlier attendances and start all over again.

As a Niner, you will receive a Schwarz Star welcome & acceptance letter from the manager. You will be accorded the status of a ‘family member’ of the team, where your allegiance to the team is formalized.

Award

The allotted players that achieve a new level of status receive an award. This is ideally based on a first-to-reach-attendance-first-to-award basis. However there may be a tie when it comes to who receives the last award.

To qualify for a Niner award:-

§         Upon your first session, you have up to 20 sessions to reach your Niner status

§         You cannot be absent for more than 3 consecutive sessions

§         On the 9^th session of players who are in contention for the last Niner award, the player with the lesser number of absenteeism shall supersede

§         The player whose last absenteeism was earlier shall supersede

§         If the tie still cannot be settled, the first to reach 5 goals from the penalty spot (followed by sudden death) shall supersede  

 To qualify for any other award:-

§         Players who are in contention for the last award, the player with the lesser number of absenteeism shall supersede

§         The player whose last absenteeism was earlier shall supersede

§         If the tie still cannot be settled, the first to reach 5 goals from the penalty spot (followed by sudden death) shall supersede
