NYAA Entries Format

Right now, just copy down the skills, adventurous journey and physical recreation entries. Don't start writing service entries for there will be unforeseen changes to the entries. Just copy down the other entries way you did for bronze but take note of the changes of the format for physical recreation.

The following shows what I will be writing for physical recreation.

Week 1:

Date: 22/8/2008

Today, we started off by playing a simple passing game called "1-touch". Everyone had to use only 1 touch to pass the ball to another person, this would continue on until someone fails to do so and the game restarts agin. The main objective of this is to train everybody's passing skills. Then we proceeded on to "monkey". In this game everyone would stand in a circle and there would be 1 "monkey" in the middle. The people on the outside have to try and pass the ball to one another continuously and the "monkey" would have to try and intercept the ball. When this happens, the last person would be the "monkey". Lastly, we had a soccer match and the final score was 2-0.

Date: 28/8/2008

We started off by playing a very simple game of passing among everybody to warm up. Then we proceedded on to our usual game of "monkey". Before the match. we then had another game of shooting at the goal. Then we had a match which resulted in a final score of 6-1.

Week 2:

Date: 5/9/2008

The match started first today and the score was 7-2. Our friends who left for IP also came back and joined us for this match. Then we proceeded on to shooting at the goal. Then we had another short match and the score was 2-2.


Week 3:

Date: 12/9/2008

Today we started off by having a match and the score was 7-1. Then to cool down, we practised passing among ourselves in a circle.

Week 4

Date: 17/10/2008

Having mastered our passing skills already, we then carried on with crossing. For a start, we practiced crossing the ball to our partner at a distance away from us. We did very well for first timers at this activities. Then we had a match after our exams and the score was 4-1.

Date: 23/10/2008

We started off by playing a match first, and when the scores was tied at 1-1, a heavy downpour occured causing us to stop our game half-way through.

Week 5

Date: 31/10/2008

Since there was less people today, we had to practice our crossing techniques today with less partners. Today, our main practice point was that we started to try and take corners, even though we were not so good, we kept practising then we proceeded on to a match and the score was 3-1.

Week 6

Date: 7/11/2008

With everyone present today, the practice for corner taking continued and we improved on our accuracy and tactics to ensure a higher chance to score goals. There was a significant improvement from the last time. The match ended with a score of 4-0.

Week 7

Date: 11/11/2008

Today, we started on a new section of soccer known as free kicks. Each person took turns to take free kicks at different areas of the field and for different purposes such as for crossing or shots. After practicing for a while, our accuracy improved and we could generate more power. Our match at the end had a score of 11-3.

Date: 14/11/2008

Today, we started off by taking penalty kicks. Then we played a full match with our sec2 juniors and we beat them by a score of 2-1. This was an evident improvement as we had never won them before.

Week 8

Date: 20/11/2008

Due to a shortage of time, we could only practice penalty kicks using different styles and each person was given an opportunity to be a goalkeeper and learn the various skills required.

Week 9

Date: 28/11/2008

Today, we started on a new skill of soccer known as intercepting. At first, everyone could not seem to be able to control their tackles, but slowly after practice, everyone got better and could intercept quite accurately by tackling. Then we played a match and it ended with a score of 1-1.

Week 10

Date: 2/12/2008

Today, we practiced the art of sliding in soccer. As it was a new and hard skill to master, we started off firstly by practicing tackling a stationary guy and by aiming the ball not the legs of the person. After that, we played a match and the score was 5-1.

Date: 5/12/2008

Today we continued off from where we left off last week on sliding. Today we went to the next level of sliding which involved sliding a moving target. This was very good practice also as it trained our stamina to chase the guy down. Even though there were a few mistimed tackles but there were no injuries and we improved steadily. We then played a match and the score was 6-2.

Follow this format to ensure a higher chance of getting silver.
