General Comments

Having a coach helped during trainings as the coach is far more experienced than any of theseniors. He contributed much to the success of the teams during IHG. Both teams narrowly

missed out qualifying for the semi-finals by losing to Temasek Hall and Sheares Hall by a scoreline

of 3-2.

Training separately allowed the coach to focus on improving every individuals skill level. Anadded bonus was that he hired assistant coaches and sparring partners to further improve the

development of the players.

The attendance submitted was based on the people who signed up at the start. According to thefigures, it showed that the players did not attend trainings on a regular basis. However, this is nottrue as many people who signed up but were a no show due to various reasons did not come to

me and inform me of their absence even after numerous reminders.

Recommendations for the future

It is highly recommended to ask for attendance early to prevent a situation where the coachcomes for a training where attendance is mediocre.

Coaching budgets should plan for the IHG days on top of regular trainings.

CCA Fair The response was good

as there were many

who signed up during

the CCA Fair

It was difficult to retain

many of the interested

parties who signed up

Floorball Trials/

Selections

Their willingness to

undergo the beep test

reflected their genuine

interest and desire to

be in the team

We did not have a large

enough turn out/talent

pool for us to effectively

select the team, as such

everyone was accepted

into the team, giving theimpression that one did

not have to work very

hard to stay in the team

and eventually leading to

commitment issues.

Continue with the

personal skills and beep

test for the selections as it

will not only enable the

future committee to

identify experiencedplayers with endurance,

but also to sieve out those

who genuinely want to be

a part of the team

Floorball Camp It was very heartening

that many players were

willing to come back for

the training camp on

boxing day

It was difficult to set a

date during the vacation

period as many had plans

to go overseas for OCIP

and personal family

vacations

in the semester before the

majority book their

personal vacations.

Inter Hall

Games 12/13

The IHG matches took

on a change in format

from carnival style to a

limit of 2 games per

day, as proposed and

agreed by captains from

all halls. This was

beneficial as it ensured

that players would not

overtire from playing all

5 matches in a singleday.

As a result of theswitch, our IHG

matches were pushed

to week -1 as the rest

of the dates were

already set for other

sports.

Our residentgoalkeeper was also

not able to make it

back in time from SEP,and the new

goalkeeper was not as

dedicated towards

trainings, as such

resulting in many own

goals conceded during

the matches

Having our matchesvery early in the

semester was also

detrimental to ourteam as many were

format of limiting matches

to 2 games per day but

away during the

vacation and hence

there was little time

for the team to build

up chemistry between

players

Value added from coaching

It was evident that the technical skills of the girls who had been consistently coming for trainings

improved with time as the coach was patient yet very meticulous in teaching the basics of the sport.

As such, for the new AY, we will continue to work with our current coach to bring KE to greater

heights.

Annual Report from Floorball (M) 2012/2013

General Comments

The King Edward VII Hall Floorball Males team has come a long way to achieve its current standings

in the IHG. The first breakthrough occurred in IHG 10/11 when we defeated Raffles Hall and entered

the semi-finals for the first time in a while. The following year in IHG 11/12 we managed to get a

coach (Filip Dahlgren) half way through the season in which provided more organized and structured

trainings for our team. We defeated Raffles Hall again by a much more convincing margin and

secured our semi-final placing for the 2nd

time. In IHG 12/13, we were able to get a coach (Jin Quan)

for the full season which allowed our players to develop better under his guidance and the team

defeated Kent Ridge Hall to secure our semi-final placing for the 3rd time. We were also able to put

up a strong fight against Eusoff Hall in the semi-finals and narrowly lost by 5-6 in the last 7 seconds.

We also participated in the Singapore Floorball Association (SFA) Division 3 league for both this and

last season in order to provide valuable match experience for our players.

Major Competitions

Our team participated in the SFA Division 3 league and achieved a ranking of 8th placing in which we

managed to prevent relegation which is quite commendable considering that we are an amateur

team made up of players who are very new to the sport and gaining exposure to it for the first time.

We also participated in IHG 12/13 and achieved semi-final placing.

Problems encountered

The main problem for the team was the lack of mental strength and resilience. It is important to put

in considerable effort to build the confidence and belief in the team that we are better than the

other halls and can go far in the IHG. Also, the bonding within the team can be improved especially

between the seniors and freshmen.

Recommendations for the future

Due to the schedule of the Division 3 competition being pushed back by a month, there will not be

any matches for experience before the IHG. Thus, participation in the league may not serve the

purpose of preparing for the IHG anymore. To compensate for this, more friendlies have to be

arranged to allow players to gain sufficient match exposure.

Value added from coaching/external competitions

It is evident from the results that coaching did play a big part in providing a proper platform for our

players to develop and build a stronger team to compete in the IHG. The coach (JQ) was very

responsible in conducting the trainings and is definitely recommended that he should continue

coaching the team. The participation in the league was also very beneficial to our players according

to feedback. Some players highlighted that they were able to gain good match experience which

allowed them to have better composure in the IHG as well as try different moves during the matches

to find out what works best in the game.

New improvements and initiatives

Apart from the usual coached training sessions, an extra training session for physical training was set

aside to improve the physical fitness of the team to better prepare them for the IHG. Even though

the attendance of the sessions was rather inconsistent, it was a good initiative to emphasise to the

players that skills alone is insufficient. A possible improvement could be to collaborate with other

related sports CCAs such as soccer or touch rugby where the fitness requirements are similar to have

a combined fitness session so as to encourage better participation.

Acknowledgements

I would like to sincerely thank the SCRC and JCRC for supporting financially the coaching as well as

league participation. I understand that it is quite a substantial amount and hopefully the effort and

commitment that was put into training by all our players can justify the amount that was invested

into us. In addition, we would also like to express our gratitude to all the supporters, including hall

master and RFs, who came down to support our games. The support really gave us the strength topush harder and give our very best on court to fight for our hall.

General Overview of Activities

Activity Remarks

Inter Block Games Scouted for individuals with high potential e.g. Hayley Siah

CCA Fair -

Training Sessions 1 male,1 female and 1 combined training was held weekly

Holiday Training Camp Intensive training for IHG, attendance consisted of mainly

female team members. Foster bonding between team members

as well to create a close knit team

Recommendation: Segregation present between male and

female team. Suggestion to extend training camp to include the

male team as well.

Inter Hall Games Female -Silver

Male - Semi Finals

Problems observed: Certain members were not mentally

prepared.

General Feedback/Recommendations

KE Squash team can consider separating training for team members and recreational members. This

is such that training intensity can be adjusted according to the skills of individual members. Also, KE

squash team should also consider holding more friendly matches with other halls for increased

exposure. KE Squash Team would also like to thank Deis for taking time out of his schedule to train

the team.

Annual Report from Tennis (M & F) 2012/2013

General Comments

The male and female tennis teams started off very differently. While the female tennis team

retained almost all their members with many of them playing since young, the male tennisteam started almost from scratch, with most of the players playing tennis for the first time

but with raw talent evident. Based on a consensus by the existing players, it was believed

that a coach was essential to nurture the raw talent of the male tennis team and point out

mistakes of the female tennis team, who had experience and skill but did not know how to

move on from there. The tennis team is deeply grateful to SCRC and JCRC for providing us

with funding to allow us to hire a coach, Coach Wen Lin, resulting in a promising result

during the AY12/13 Inter-Hall Games and more interest in tennis as a sport in hall. The

tennis team sincerely hopes that continued support will be given to allow us to grow as a

sport and a team.


Project/Event Participat

Inter-Block

Games

Moderate Participation was moderate asthere was sufficient interest in

tennis for teams to be formed

easily.

A round robin system wasadopted to make the game

fair. 3 males and 3 females

represented each block,

forming 3 doubles pairs; male,

female and mixed. Each block

matched up against another

block with each pair playing

against a pair of their own

category. The first pair to

reach 4 games won, with

sudden death and tiebreakbeing played. Out of the three

pairs from each block, a block

won overall if at least two

pairs won.

The objectives of IBG were togarner interest in tennis and

to find talents to join the

tennis team and these were

met.

The entire tennis componentof IBG took a long time.However, this was necessary

to make the game fun and find

an accurate winner. Taking up

a longer time makes the game

fairer and allows enough

exposure; 6 people per block.

CCA Fair High formales,

Moderate

for

females

There was significant increasein the interest in the tennisteam, with more interest in

the male tennis team than the

female tennis team.

Publicity for tennis wasconducted mainly through IBG

and the tennis captains

persuading on-the-fence

residents to try out the sport.

An exposure session couldhave been conductedbefore the CCA Fair to

generate more interest in

tennis and scout for

talents.

Tennis Camp Moderate Tennis camp was carried outduring the December schoolholidays, allowing members to

bond and intensely train for

IHG, which took place a month

after the camp.

Participation was moderate asmany members were

medicine students and fourth

year students who still had

school on.

While a packed schedule wasplanned for the tennis camp,the weather did not allow

about half of the trainings

from occurring, resulting in

impromptu court trainings

planned when the weather

permitted.

The weather forecastshould be checked on anhourly basis so as to

maximize court trainings,

when the weather permits.

Resistance trainings can bedone in a sheltered area,

which is easier to find.

Court Training High Participation was high asmembers understood the

importance of trainings.

Our coach was present forabout two-thirds of our courttrainings, especially nearing

IHG.

Coach adopted differenttrainings for both the male

and female teams, using

various drills. The training

used on the female team was

more on consistency and

correction of strokes whereas

the male teams training

focused initially on skill andtechnique and teaching of the

Coaching was also startedlate, resulting in less stellar

results. Coach had 4

months to train us and

correct mistakes made foryears. Trainings with a

Coach should be a

continuous effort, all-year

long and a long-term

investment.

Resistance

Training

High Participation was high asmembers understood the

importance of trainings.

Resistance training involved a5km run and two one-hour

strength trainings every week.This was on top of court

trainings.

Tennis matches require goodstamina and the objective of

resistance training was to

build up our stamina. This was

reduced as we neared IHG,

with court trainings replacing

resistance trainings.

With resistance trainings,tennis became a

commitment-heavy CCA.

To prepare members for

this, they should be

informed before theychoose to join the CCA.

Residents with passion

could also be chosen over

residents with purely raw

talent.

Inter-Hall

Games

High Participation was good, evenfor the tennis members whowere not scheduled to play.

Despite hard work and muchimprovement, the male team

lost in the round robin round.

However, the female team

managed to make it to the

semi-final round before losing

to 2-3, one of the ties lost due

to a walkover because of an

injury. While morale was low

for the female team, Coachand the entire team were still

proud of what we managed to

achieve together.

Pep talks and debriefsessions are veryimportant at the start and

at the end of every match

respectively so as to keep

the morale of the team

high.

Members should be extravigilant and careful during

IHG period so as not to

sustain any injuries and

give any reason for a

walkover to occur. While itmight feel demoralizing to

lose, to lose due to a

walkover is depressing and

heartwrenching.

General Comments

1. Having a coach helped during trainings as the coach is far more experienced thanany of the seniors. He contributed much to the success of the teams during IHG.

Both teams improved by 1 place compared to the previous year: 4th

(F) and 5th

(M).

2. Training with both M&F teams together allow a huge reduction in coaching fees, asthe coach prefers to work with larger numbers and it also builds team spirit as

everyone learns together.

3. It is highly recommended to ask for attendance early to prevent a situation wherethe coach comes for a training where attendance is mediocre.

4. Coaching budgets should plan for the IHG day on top of regular trainings, especiallysince IHG is a whole-day event.

Annual Report from the Sports Management Committee

2012/2013

Review of the Years Past

It has been noted in time past that King Edward VII Hall is lacking a governing and administrative

body that covers all hall-wide sporting events and CCAs. With this in mind, the Sports Management

Committee was created with Mr. Zachary Low as the Head in this academic year with the intent of it

being a mostly administrative, logistical and managerial committee set up to run activities and to

support the sports CCAs. This is with the help of a small group of highly specialized, experienced and

committed seniors in hall that helped to craft the structure, intents, purposes and outreaches of this

Committee.

With the help of these seniors and the addition of freshmen to the ranks, and under the supervision

and cooperative support of the 56th JCRC and the SCRC, we have managed to create a Committee

that has organized many events for the sporting scene in hall, including a hall-wide Laser Tag, the

2012 Inter-Block Games, and the traditional KE Slide.

Summary of Events

To summarize the young history of this CCA and the events it has helped to organize, we will briefly

cover the purpose, contents, perceived results, and the subsequent feedback and recommendations

for 4 events: Inter-Block Games, Laser Tag, Inter-Hall Games, and KE Slide.

Perceived Results

With a proper CCA to organize the Inter-Block Games this year, the logistical andoperational requirements were more easily met. The JCRC Sports Secretary wasalso less taxed in this case, with more time provided to focus on other sports-

related issues like the allocation of training venues, and the liaising with the

sports captains

Organization and hierarchy was more streamlined, and an avenue for feedback,problem-solving and discussion was provided in the form of this CCA

Feedback and Recommendations

Not to place anything on a Friday night For more welfare

Laser Tag

Purpose

To help to bond the Hall residents closer as one To provide Hall residents with an opportunity to let their hair down To aid in fostering a stronger sports culture in Hall, as we hope residents would learn

from this event that sports can be more than we usually imagine.

As always, Inter-Hall Games are held every year between all 6 halls in NUS To boost intra and inter-hall bonding To provide hall sports CCAs with a goal to work towards during trainings To promote the sporting vibe and hype the atmosphere in the NUS Hall culture To promote pride in our Hall

Contents

As we were the vice-convening, the 56th JCRC Sports Secretary and the respectivesports CCA leaders carried out all liaising between the halls.

The SMC focused on publicity, designing of player jerseys, supporter shirts, andposters, with the help of KE Design, and also on welfare, sports team managers, and

the getting of supporters down to support the various sports

Perceived Results

Welfare in the form of 100 Plus drinks were given out. Supporters were pulleddown to the respective venues to support and cheer. Flags and shirts were

brought down and worn.

Many CCAs reached new heights of achievement, such as the Squash Femaleteam having reached the Finals in this years Inter-Hall Games


Drinks were well received. More supporters could have been brought down.Perhaps more focus on transport for both players and supporters. Shirt designs

Sports Management Committee Head 2012/13 & Head 2013/14

Perceived Results

Less participants than expected, but all had a great deal of fun. Minimal injuriessustained. Possible lack of participants due to timing (Friday night)


Helped to introduce creativity and uniqueness into hall More publicity could have been done

A senior-junior link so that experience, expertise and knowledge can be passed down fromsenior to junior. Basically, 1-2 freshmen will be attached to every senior in the Committee

More micro-managing and individual personal development, with freshmen being roped tohelp take charge from Inter-Block Games onwards

More duties and dissemination of roles and responsibilities so that everyone has somethingto be in charge of, or to do

More transparency within the Committee, where everybody knows everything happening orgoing to happen
