UM Practice & Try Out

UM 2011-2012 Season is starting!

We will have our first practice and try-out sessions starting this week, as follows:-

1. Wedn 28/9 NIGHT 7:30-10:45 PM at Gym 1 (Indoor Court)
2. Sat 1/10 MORNING 7:30-10:30 AM at Varsity Green (Outdoor Court)

We are also trying to secure availability of Gym 1 on Thursday night and will advise if we manage to secure it.

Meantime, for 1st year players (and reminder to our veterans), please note our following practice guidelines / rules:-

1. Be EARLY. Practice start time of 7:30 means you should be there at 7:00, to warm up etc. We start sharp at 7:30.

2. Be EFFICIENT. During practice, especially between drills or between drill and water break, do not walk but run / jog.

3. Practice HARD. Drills are run for short durations but we expect HIGH INTENSITY/ EFFORT.

4. Bring your own WATER supply (LOTS of it!). There is no water supply at Varsity Green and although there is a water cooler at Gym 1, 20+ people waiting in line to use that one water cooler is not efficient use of time.

5. Bring a simple FILE. We will handout printouts occasionally during practices.

6. Subject to the above, have FUN and ENJOY yourselves. Get to know your new team mates and make new friends whilst learning to improve your basketball skills.

See you all this Wednesday night.

UM Achievements Todate

I've been meaning to set out on one page, UM's achievements to date, for a long time now.

I've finally got around to starting it at : UMBBT Info Website - Achievements

I always believe "getting started" is more important than waiting to get it absolutely right / complete. I've therefore just started by setting out the more recent achievements. If you recall which year / season, which competition and the results, please state in the comments to this entry and I'll add it to our Info Website @ the Achievements page.

I'd also like to collect a team photo of each and every UM team over the years. If you have a team photo of your team, please email to me at : Coach LY's Email

Thank you.
Coach Loke Yew

Sultan Cup - Update

Ex-UM is also have a good run at Sultan Cup this year. Our results thus far:-

G1 v TABT (Win : 85-51)
G2 v Anonymous (Win : 87-51)

G2 (played today) was particularly interesting as there were only 3 players at the games venue at game time (Phang, Coach Loke Yew and Jack) due to many players being outstation and not being able play. After half an hour Coach Pin and Sem arrived and game started with just 5 of us! In the middle of the 2nd Quarter, Ching arrived. We played the entire game with just 6 players!

Fortunately, we all played a good game - Phang had many great assists, Pin scored in double figures (11 points) and Ching was our (usual) dominant, unstoppable player, scoring 43 points!! That's almost half our entire team score!!

Thanks to the Ex-UM players who rushed back from outstation to attend today and well done all!

Many thanks also to all the Ex-UM supporters who attended (there were more Ex-UM supporters than Ex-UM players today!!) today's game and continue to give us great support.

G3 will be against Asia Tech on 23/9 FRIDAY @ 7:30pm.  Come support us some more!
