Update: Trial Date brought forward to Monday, 13th june at 7pm
Dear Female Recruits,

Firstly, we apologise for the delay of the female results. However, results of the final list of females have not been released due to the difficulties that we are facing in choosing the 8 girls. This is because there are quite a number of you who are on par with each other in term of your strokes.
Thus, after much consideration, we are forced to have a final round of trials for these group of girls that we are considering.
This is done so as to assess your strokes with more stringency so as to choose the 8 girls.
For those people whose names are not mentioned here, unfortunately you are not being considered for the final team.
Or we would have informed you personally if you have been chosen.

Thus the remaining spots will be filled by the chosen ones from the list below.

Those interested to take part in this competition, please bring $20 to Wednesday's training and pass to Morgan. Main team are highly encouraged to take part. Many of the seniors have taken part in this competition since year 1 and its a good opportunity to meet other squash enthusiasts from other schools and check out the local squash scene.

Freshmen are also welcome to join. Especially, some of the guys who can hit to the back already. Good opportunity to gain exposure. And as always, there's that prized t-shirt you get from participating.

Wednesday is the 1 and only day to sign up as deadline is this Friday. Latest money is needed by Thursday.

Happy Squashing! :)

P.S. Freshies, please read below post as well for very important information

2010-05-18T16:41:00.006+08:00

Hello TP Squash Freshies!

Some updates here for you;

1) ALL Freshie's training will from now on be on both Monday & Wednesday from 6.30 - 8.30pm.

We are also introducing a new system. For each gender, the top 8 freshies will form the freshie team and these 16 freshies (8 guys + 8 girls) will be sent for external competitions to gain exposure and for friendlies with other schools. You will also be given more attention to develop faster.

For those who are not part of the top 8 for each gender, you will have to work hard and fight your way into the top 8. The Freshmen Ladder will be posted on the blog and there will be simple ladder matches on the last Wednesday training session of each month.

We hope with this system, you guys will strive to put in your best effort to train hard so that you can pick up the game faster and at the same time improve your overall mental & physical health, as well as be part of the top 8.

2) Due to some attendance issues, training on the 24th of May, Monday, will be the final cut off. Those who attend the training on the 24th will be considered part of the permanent freshmen team for TP Squash. For those who do not show up and do not provide a valid reason beforehand in advance will be considered not interested in remaining in TP Squash

3) There will be no freshmen training on the 26th of May, to allow you to study for your upcoming term test. Freshmen training will resume back on the 7th of June.

4) Those traveling during the June term break and will be missing trainings, please inform us on the 24th of May as well

5) On Monday(24 May), for the freshmen guys, there will be a short selection process for 3 Male freshies to join the main team. These 3 will join the male seniors for trainings on Tuesdays. Further information will be given once the 3 are selected, so I urge all the male freshmen to practice hard this week and do your best next Monday!

6) TP Squash Fund Collection; Every month, we will collect $2 from everyone to contribute to a Fund which will be used to purchase any necessary accessories for training or towards future camps/bbq/chalet/outings. For the month of May, please pass your $2 to Hazel (year 2 female) and acknowledge payment upon taking attendance on the 24th of May.

7) And to save the best for last, we will be having an outing to the Squash Shop at Kallang Squash Center on the 5th of June. The seniors will accompany you all and bring you there to help you buy your racket and shoe. Please set aside an average of $150 for the racket and $60 for the shoe to be safe. Please meet at Mushroom at 11am on the day. Those who wish to go there themselevs and know where it is, please meet us there at 12noon.

Happy Squashing! :)

2010-04-25T19:07:00.009+08:00

HELLO GUYS! On behalf of my teamates and I, just wanna give you all a HUUUUUGE welcome to TP Squash! Trials will be on Monday and Wednesdays, 630 to 830 and it will go on for a few weeks. We have a huge amount of people signing up during recruitment and for that we thank you so much for your support. However, we are sad to say that even though we'd love to have everyone join our wonderful team, we cannot fit 100+ people into 2 squash courts (we used to have 6 looong ago). Thus we have to set trials where only certain number of people can join.

Anyway i would like to take this oppurtunity to help you prepare for the upcoming trials. It is not going to be easy and for some of you, it will be very draining physically and mentally. Just wanna tell you guys not to worry cos we will be behind you, encouraging you and supporting you when you feel like giving up. I would also like to apologize in advance if anyone of us offends you in anyway because we are only human and might get very stressed out due to the high human traffic and expectation to make trials successful as this will be our last (many of us are third years). Therefore if we get impatient and snappy at you, please dont hold it against us as we just want the best for TP Squash.

Till then, we wish you all the very best for trials. Do your best and dont give up, also its better if you bring a water bottle along if you wanna avoid long queues for water cooler oh and also rest well and please have something in your stomach but do not eat 45 mins before training as you might feel uncomfortable during trials. See you at the courts.

p.s quite a number of us are having SIP cos (as mentioned above) most of us are third years so we will be a bit late therefore please dont feel sian if there isn't anybody to assist you, we'll try to help as much as we can (:

Thong

2010-04-12T19:30:00.000+08:00

As i have stated in my SMS, attendance have been very very poor of late. I know most of the year 3s have started SIP but i would still appreciate any form of notification. And as Zahiri had mentioned in the previous post, 'if you do not put in the effort, you will be let down'.

Remember the days we traveled on private buses making our way to SP and then back to techno in cheers? And the trips to NUS giving our best shot at IVP and holding our breaths together when it was a deuce?

I know we are still capable of securing at least a silver for POL-ITE this year. If the graduates could do it last year, so can we. I hope the current situation is only temporary. Let's do this together, team.

Your new captain,
Morgan

2010-03-23T07:19:00.002+08:00

New Term New Committee

The new committee (Morgan, Huiling, Prashant, Rashid and Hazel) would be taking over from 8th March onwards. They will now be in charge of leading the team. Show them your respect and co-operation, the best way is through your attendance and commitment.

With YOG coming this year, many other sports tournaments are rushing to complete the 2010 run earlier and that possibly includes squash. Therefore, POL-ITE might be drawing nearer than expected. Train hard, don't regret later. The team needs to maintain and get at least a Silver back.

09/10 Recap

09/10 had been a very successful year. We fought the threat of closure, the lack of support from SAA, no proper coach and so on but we still managed to clinch Silver during POL-ITE. TPSquash was known to be the most united and fun loving despite the shaky start. The Men's team fought hard to get silver and the Ladies' team made history for getting silver too. (Ladies' team had never gotten anything back previously)

We also went into IVP without too much expectation because we know how strong the universities are. Nevertheless, we got very close to a placement. Experiencing the camaraderie at NUS was also well worth the long trip.

Individually, majority got fitter, faster and game play slightly more mature. Honestly, there is still a distance to go for the current team if TPSquash wants a Silver. This, we hand over to the new main committee to handle and we have to trust them to be able to do so.

Thank you TP Squash. Its been quite a journey for the seniors and we would be embarking on a different squash route outside of TP. The Year 3s served their time well and made a mark. Its your turn now.

GO TP SQUASH!

WE ARE SILVER MEDALISTS!

TP SQUASH proudly presents..

POL-ITE 09/10 Silver Medalists for both Guys and Ladies Team.

We delivered what we promised.

I am proud to say the team put up a tough fight and we definitely gave NP a run for their Gold. Although we didn't manage to clinch the gold medal but we emerged stronger both as a team and as individuals.

We cheered our hearts and lungs out behind the glass walls. We down bottles and bottles of free H2Os. Telling jokes in the bus, pissing the bus uncle off, checking people out from other schools, making friends, exchanging numbers and feeling the camaraderie from NP, NYP and SP. These are the memories we take away from this year's POL-ITE.

I couldn't ask for a better team. All the hurdles we went through to get to this point. We fought for every thing and thankfully, we did. Remember the closure of the team? The thousand signature petition.. SAVE TPSQUASH Facebook.. the numerous meetings, distribution of flyers and the hooha we created in school. A battle won though we have to continuously be on our toes.

I hope that this tournament had ignited a fire within you guys to seek improvements. We learn with losing and with that a desire to win. To do that of course is to start proper and focused trainings. Training attendance for the past 2 weeks was amazing. I want to see that when training resumes on MONDAY. (Z wants a debrief, so get yourself down!)

Its nearing December. And that is the time when the new batch of main com would take over. Kleon and I will slowly get out of the picture.

The seniors are leaving so juniors got to buck up and catch up on the gap between the skill levels. Every one has seen the standards of other schools. There are a number of year 2s around playing in the main team and they would be your opponents next year. Last year we got bronze, this year sliver, next year gold?(:

Most importantly, thank you Z for bringing us through this crucial period.

________________________________________________________________

Next up, there is the possibility of friendlies with NP, NYP and SP. As usual, SP would be hosting. With 6 courts and 4 schools, its like Pol-ite all over again. Its a good chance for the people in poly squash scene to mingle and gain exposure.

Also, NUS Invitation is approaching in early January. This year, the grade is capped at C1 with handicap system. The JCs would be participating as well. 1 team consists of 3 players.

I LOVE TPSQUASH! (:

Elaine

2009-11-05T02:56:00.002+08:00

Yes guys, we did it! What we set out to achieve.. what we had set our sights on.. But a silver is no longer enough when you can nearly taste the sweetness of victory.

Seriously, who would have expected us to do so well? :)

Tmr's match against NP would be the deciding factor.
Defending champions so what? I think TP Squash is capable of taking over that title (:

Pol-ITE Report
TP VS NYP

Guys 5-0
Girls 4-1

So far, well done!

Scream your hearts out tmr. Goodnight!

Pol-ITE Report

LETS GO TEAM SQUASH!

2009-10-28T03:07:00.005+08:00

POL-ITE

2nd, 4th & 5th Nov

The anticipation is running high and I guess everyone is rearing to go this Monday. It is refreshing to see perfect attendance during trainings as well.

LOA starts at 5, meet at the squash courts and do some light warm ups.

Below are the fixtures:

Monday: TP VS SP
Wednesday: TP VS NYP
Thursday: TP VS NP

The last seed for the Ladies Team will be on a rotational basis.

We have to be at SP by 5.30 p.m. so late comers take a cab over yourself. The games officially starts at 6 p.m.

We have to fight for what we want.

2009-10-22T13:09:00.004+08:00

There will be no training for freshmen this week.

Training for juniors and seniors will be on Monday, Tues and Thurs.

Please attend training and there should be no reason that you cannot attend training.

Kleon.

2009-10-14T02:29:00.005+08:00

2009-10-08T18:11:00.005+08:00

To all those who did not turn up for training this holiday so far, sorry but you are getting the boot. Holiday is the time to train up for the pol-ite.

Fought so hard for the team then what. Getting people to help us during training yet only 1 or 2 people show up. Whats the point? Seniors have SIP but still try to rush back to facilitate but to see only 3 people training.

Freshie girls who came for almost every training during this holiday, keep up the good work.

I am utterly disappointed in all the guys seriously.

On a brighter note, Vicky's paper work is completed. She will start coaching next week.

One more thing, SMS ME if you are not turning up so that I can tell people who are helping us not to waste their time coming down when no one else would show up.

Kleon.

Attention all Juniors and Seniors

As Monday is a public holiday, training on Tuesday will be a combined training (Freshies + Juniors + Seniors).

Please attend training.

Kleon

2009-08-07T14:48:00.006+08:00

Continue with the great work guys!

Everybody's timing has improved tremendously and there would bound to be a time when one hits a plateau. Consistency then would be of utmost importance as nobody can run at god speed.

A person can only play Squash if one is fit. The idea of playing Squash to keep fit is wrong, so please do not get complacent with your physical trainings.

At the current context, you might feel that playing the game does not make you tired or even a hint of breathlessness. However, as everyone progresses, you'll meet better players both within school and outside who will make you run around the court like a mad, breathless chicken.

Stay focused and set achievable goals/targets for yourself.

(e.g. Running under 10 minutes for the top 5 guys, aiming for 3 consistent forehand drive into the deep corner etc)

The sense of achievement and satisfaction you get from attaining them is much more pleasurable than pointlessly play games and doing drills for the sake of doing them.

I can't wait to see the team progress together (:

2009-08-03T20:33:00.002+08:00

There will a team talk this thursday and I expect everyone to be present. There should be no excuses.

Morgan

2009-07-30T00:51:00.002+08:00

No don't click there!

But anyone who's interested and didn't get the email from them, can email me at calvincartel@gmail.com

The forms are all there and as for the payment methods, we'll get it sorted out as soon as we see how many people are interested.

The girl's ladder is ready.

1. Wanying
2. Hui Ling
3. Morgan
4. Adrina
5. Yi Ling
6. Roxann

Changes to the guy's ladder:

1. Kleon
2. Prashant
3. Rashid
4. Calvin
5. Ka Ming
6. Wei Min
7. Zhi Hao
8. Dion
9. Wei Guang

Constantly challenge each other to move up the ladder and avoid getting stagnant.
Whatever the result, never ever give up on a game because it is extremely disappointing to watch and demoralizes yourself and everyone else.

Are you really happy with your performance during the ladder matches? Is there any improvement since you last played? Think what went wrong during your game and how you can move on from there.

Generally for the girls, as long as you can hit deep into the court or even hit to the back, you get the point. Don't just hit hard because its no use if the ball lands somewhere in the middle. As long as you hit above the cut line (the front wall's mid red line), you will be able to bring the ball back nicely. Its really easy to improve from here.
Remember - good service, good returns and good drives.

*Highlighted names means he/she moved up the ladder.

The turn up on Thursday was rather disappointing given the enthusiam on Tuesday and I'm refering to the girls.

The ladder for the guy's team is out. The girls will be playing their games on Tuesday.

1. Kleon
2. Prashant
3. Calvin
4. Kaming
5. Wei Min
6. Zhi Hao
7. Dion
8. Rashid
9. Wei Guang

The ladder is ongoing, meaning that every week there will be changes to it. To 'climb' the ladder, you can only play the person who is 1 or maximum 2 positions above you. E.g. Kaming can only challenge Calvin and Prashant, if he wins Prashant, Kaming will be ranked 2nd, Prashant 3rd and so forth. There must be a referee to witness the match.

The whole point of the ladder is to amp up the team's competitiveness. Strive to win each other and stay at the top of the game. You need a goal to work to, so hopefully this can be a starting point for you guys.

On another note, there is a NOVICE competition coming, targeted at juniors. Details are not known yet. Those interested pls contact Shavonne or any other senior girls. Note that Prince Open will most likely not take place this year. (sad eh, no more nice big PRINCE across your chest)

I see plenty of hope for us this AY so maintain our optimism and fight for achievements. Bring your flyers, petition letter blah blah down on TUESDAY!

Hi guys
This post is to everybody reading the blog. The squash team is NOT closed, despite whatever you hear.
We still train in school every Tuesday and Thursday from 6 to 9pm. If you're interested in joining squash, we welcome you. Just come by the squash court any of the 2 days in your sports attire. Do give either Prashant(93899211), or Shavonne (91170133) or Elaine (91199571) if you are interested

No experience is required to join the team. Just determination and passion for the game. Unfortunately SEAL pts will not be rewarded as the school is all about closing down the team, but we're not giving up. Therefore we'll be needing people who wants to play and is able to make the commitments. Come join us and we'll train you up for competitions. However the improvement rate will be solely based on your own want to be good. If you are up to the challenge, then the squash team will welcome you.

If there are any questions, don't hesitate to give any of us a call. (:

Okay CNY is over (the holidays) , hope you guys got you many ang baos and ba kwas.

but for you year 1s, time to snap out of e holiday mood. new freshies are coming in and you guys know your own standard so its time to seriously buck up. i've talked to u guys already but for the rest, if u guys dont turn up for training consecutively 3 times, you're out of e team. im doing this before the new committee comes up cos when ur a new leader its kinda harder to kick out ppl of your own batch and okay why am i explaining this. hmm. so yes. 3 times and you're out.

these are the ppl under the consideration. your attendance is pathetic. as i have said before, projects are a bad excuse. so if you guys dont turn up by tomorrow or next tuesday's training you're out. and i mean it. maybe some people would like to warn them.

Roxann
Zhi Hao
Dion
Dawn

for the rest, keep up the attendance. it can still get better.

SENIOR GIRLS OUTING~

we had a nice "renuion dinner" at thai express~ haha (:

anyway ying hui says HELLO WE ROCK HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

2009-01-01T22:54:00.003+08:00

First of all, a very Happy new year to all of you.
2008 has been crap, for me at least. so here's to a much better 2009.

Attendance for training ever since the sem started has been rather poor. This is not only noticed by me, more like by all the seniors ( those who come anyway).

I want everyone to show up this Saturday, at 10 am. Those who don't, don't bother showing anymore, unless you have a valid excuse. and by VALID i mean valid.

Fixtures will be out tmr, or later for those playing in the Ivp. Just keep your week free.

2008-12-23T23:39:00.003+08:00

There will be a party on the 27th of December and.. its a potluck, so do bring food. and you all know about the gift exchange.
