Common Test 2
According to the July training programme, there will be training on 28th and 30th July.
After that, there will be a short CCA stand-down.
The message is clear: Getting good grades for your academic subjects is always very important. I want you to have determination in getting good results.
There will be oral examinations over the next few days. If you are scheduled to take your oral examinations and it clashes with basketball training, you are expected to complete your oral exam first. Once you are done, you should then report for training. Always keep Mr Ken Ng informed if you face this problem.
Also, if for some reason you are punished with detention after school, then I expect you to serve out your detention first.
Skipping detention to attend CCA trainings goes against the spirit of sportsmanship. Do the right thing.
Study hard, players. Do not let yourself down with poor grades. Basketball is important, but so are good academic grades.

Graduation Training Session 14th July 2008
On the 14th of July, Fajar Basketball held our first-ever Graduation Training. I wanted to do this because I wanted us to show our appreciation to the seniors and graduating students who have contributed a great deal to our school. Many of them have been splendid, sacrificing so much of their time and energy on basketball trainings and matches. I am deeply thankful to all of you.

Vincent Koh 2E4
Yeo Han Kun 2E4

The Greenridge team was a very different team compared to our previous two opponents. This team is more experienced and certainly much faster in offense. I knew that Greenridge would provide a stern test for our young Fajar team.
The coach, as always, quickly analysed the situation and gave very simple instructions to the team.
His plans worked very well, for in the first two quarters we were neck-to-neck with them in terms of the scoreline.
However, in the 3rd quarter, Fajar fell apart. Playing man-to-man system is actually very simple and uncomplicated. Unfortunately, some players were very forgetful and looked very lost. Some allowed their players to run away into space. There were times when our players did not realise that the person they were supposed to mark had already gone behind them.
In man-to-man system, you need to stay close and contain your player. Don't give them space to receive the pass. Do not attempt to steal. Just contain and blunt their threat.
You need to know the jersey number of the player you are marking. During defence, do not ever let him out of your sight. Just stick to him. These are all very simple rules but Fajar made it look so difficult.
So, in the 3rd quarter, Greenridge took great advantage of Fajar's confusion.
Again, there was no 'general' on our court to wake the team up. The coach was screaming instructions. My voice bellowed in the indoor court, admonishing players to mark their man and to box them out.
But truthfully, what Fajar really needs is a player who takes charge of the team and barks all these instructions to them. The captain and the vice-captain will need to take on this role to inspire the team and motivate them to perform even better.
After this game ended, both the coach and I are now clear that we need to work on the man-to-man system.
Again, I have to repeat: the man-to-man system is a very simple plan to execute. Against Greenridge, if the players had the presence of mind to work out who they are marking, we wouldn't have played so badly.
This match marks the end of our series of training matches. On Friday, we go back to our home court to refine our formation and skills. Next Monday, we have one more training session in the afternoon. On Wednesday, it is Match Day vs Westwood Secondary.
Fajar, train hard!
