Today, my friend and I went to Volleyball morning training as we usually do on Saturdays. We played as usual and practiced hard. At the end of our training, my coach called the two of us over and said he needed to talk. I was scared that it was going to be something bad. He said “From now on, could you please coach the younger students and unexperienced players?” We decided to coach the students as we also wanted to play more of a high level Volleyball. From next week, we will coach the students on Volleyball.
Volleyball U14 Champions
My U14 Volleyball team and I won every single match we played and won the Singapore International U14 Volleyball League. We played against many international schools and won all of our matches. We became the best team for our age group in Singapore. I am in the starting 6 and on for the whole match. Our team was very happy when we won the last game and became first.
Volleyball U16A Team
This week there were Volleyball tryouts on Wednesday and Friday. I went to both of the try outs and did my best. On Wednesday, we did all of the basic skills. Receiving, setting and spiking. After that we did a 4-on-4 King of the Court. My team stayed king for 6 consecutive rounds. On Friday we did jumping and more work on skills. We did serving techniques, spiking techniques, etc. By the end of both tryouts we were exhausted. We jumped and ran for the whole 1.5 hours. On Friday after the try-outs, the coach told us to sit down. We all knew that he was announcing the team members. We all sat down in silence. As he called out the names one by one, faces started to brighten up. That included mine. Me and my two other friend all made the team. I was so glad that we could all play Volleyball together. There were 35 people who tried out. Only 9 people were picked. So when I heard my name I was surprised. I am very glad that I made the U16A team. I will work hard and get better at volleyball.
All of the big sizes had bigger numbers so I got 35
Swim Meet
Yesterday I went to a swim meet at my own school. I did 100 metre freestyle, 100metre IM (individual medley) 50 metre breaststroke, 50 metre freestyle. I liked the swim meet. It was very tiring. I would like to do it again.
Night Swimming
Today from 7:30 pm to 8:00 pm I went downstairs and swam about 1 km with my mother. It is a great exercise. Absolutely amazing! I loved it. This weekend I am going to participate in a swim meet at my school. I am very excited about it. Busy weekend!
Judo Technical Camp
Today I had a Judo technical camp and I got promoted to green belt! I was so happy and surprised when my name was called. From now on I have to be responsible for the children that are in lower grade than me. Like the quote “With great power comes great responsibility.”
Tennis Trial
Today I did a Tennis trial at my school. We first did warm ups. Then we did forehands and backhands practice. Then we did doubles king of the court. Me and a another boy won the king of the court. I liked tennis trial so I might do tennis. My first week of school finished! Tomorrow is a Saturday!
