Asian Hockey cup
c0mments!
A 5 days a week event at Anchorvale Community Centre for the Asia Hockey Cup.
Throughout the 5 days, some of the days were quiet with little crowd, some with a full stand of crowd.
On the days with little crowd, the day was long and boring and manpower was more than enough. We were just sitting around to make sure everything is in place.
On crowded days, I helped out with the field of play, managing the gates and crowd after every game.
Overall,
Good points: the event was organised very well as most of the stuff were already set up and many experienced managers handled the volunteers and the event well.
The items on the schedule was on time and everything ended on time.
Bad points: Over manpower. There was not a need for us to be there. The jobs that we are tasked to do weren't of much importance.

SAFRA Tampines soccer event:It was a hot day at Tampines SAFRA and we were out volunteering for this yearly soccer event 'Theme Up' Hosted by Ros, the matches were exciting and the dads and sons were showing off the bonds between the family. The EPM crew was tasked with overseeing the matches and coordinating the games lineup.
It was a tiring task to run around to transmit gather information. Walkie talkies would have made the job a lot easier. I had an interesting time with the referee. He was demanding and grumpy and was also missing in action most of the time which gave Brandon and I a lot of trouble (eg. wasting time looking for him while the teams are waiting for the match to start) this also lead to our games being delayed and the last court to finish all our matches.
Overall, It was a good experience for a day out under the sun managing a SAFRA event!
Kids soccer clinic (NYP)
It was a really enjoyable time with the kids at the soccer clinic. All our crew members were outgoing and had a lot of fun with the children. At the start, the registeration was done well and in an orderly manner. At the same time, the guys were already starting to warm up and kick around to interact with the kids. Lunch was settled quickly as Mardiah read out the names and the rest of us gave out the food.
Due to the hot sun, the soccer kids were brought indoors to the aerobics room to watch a Mr. Bean show. It was enjoyable to most of them however, there was a small bunch that had already watched it before and were getting a little restless. I'm glad I had the chance to talk with them and laugh around. Overall, I'm sure it was a fantastic time for the kids and it ended well with new friendships made.
