These 2 sessions have shown that we can have a kick-about and improve ourselves. For me, I have realised that I am so much more clumsy and have lost a lot of my ability to control the ball properly. In addition, touches became trapping for opponents and ability to react under intense pressure have waned.
This shows how much technical ability I have lost over the past seasons. I mean i am not that good technically in the first place....but the point is I know I used to be better than now - a lot more. It may be due to increasing weight causing sluggish-ness but i suspect that the main culprit is the lack of exposure to a fast-paced game of soccer.
We used to ply our trade at the BB court where we play fast pace, one touch and high intensity football. Granted, they are different from field football but I see that certain positives can be obtained if we were to stick to a regular Fico session. For one, it increases our ability of decision making under constant pressure. Fitness will be improved due to the "interval-training" type of running we do in Fico. Technical ability which is very much the emphasis in Fico, will definitely be improved over time and this might be the pivotal factor when we play our weekend encounters.
As of now, I feel a 1 hour session is about just nice for fun and sweat. Once we get in gear, i think we would be craving to play a 2-hr session.
The point of this post is to gather feedback and of course seek opinion for a regular session.

My feedback of the previous 2 sessions...
- Please.Stick.To.The.Time. It is frustrating when some people arrive early or according to the stipulated time of 9:50 and see the rest strolling in at 10:05 to 10:10. Especially when we don't live the nearest. If this is the kind of time discipline that we have, forget about playing leagues.
- A regular session is nice. If we go back to our regular weekend sessions, we can have probably 1 FICO session per week. Maybe Thursday or Friday nights.
That's all for now.
Though i never attended any of the fico sessions so far, i feel that there must be an agenda for the fico sessions...like have more one touch passes, how to trap the ball properly etc etc...coz if its just to go attend and play without an idea what to build up on, the fico session may not be efficient when we want it to train ourselves up to compete in the league...
Hmmm I must agree that meeting must be met...I apologise for being there @ 10pm for the second session...My fault :)
However it must be noted that playing on a weekday means that some of our players - who are not on 9am to 6pm timings come straight from work and so might not be on time. For the second session, Jacky has already informed me that he will be late.
i agree that we need to come up with some sort of "theme of the week" to focus...but a loose one lah...like "today we try pressing and closing down more" then in another session, we try " try more one touches etc...
After tasting a few sessions of fico, i realise it maybe is just a venue for workout and honing sharpness. I dun mind playing fico in the mid week, but wanna give my comments that playing regularly in fico dun hone much of our outfield skills.
Just like street soccer, playing regularly n well in street soccer doesn't mean your skill improved in field soccer.
But i would not mind a fico on sun if match cancelled.
yes i think tiger has got it spot-on....Our sharpness will be improved...cos we dun get much time on the ball when playing Fico...I think it will also improve our decision-making and touches....:)
