Tuesday, March 06, 2007 ► lateness, absenteeism, validation

Rules for Attendance:
  1. If you are late, the whole team will do pumping. Pumping, meaning proper push-ups. If at least one person does not do proper push-ups, the team will do the pumping AGAIN. Be a team and count together.
  2. Late means you must be booted up and ready to train within the 10min grace period. If you are NOT booted up by, for example, 9:10am for 9am training, you are LATE.
  3. 3 lates on the attendance list = individual pumping
  4. You will be considered ABSENT if you do not give a valid excuse to ONLY chien chih before training starts.
  5. 3 absents on the attendance list = individual pumping
  6. These rules will be implemented as of the next training on the 8th of March 2007

These rules are not implemented to make it seem like touch rugby is like the army, but we honestly do not have enough commitment in the entire team. For us to expect to be respected by the freshees next year, we have to show them that we are strict and dedicated in what we do. If we all make the effort to follow the rules, it becomes a habit and it will no longer seem to be a chore. For all this to happen you have to have the passion to want to win IVP and be CHAMPIONS.

Know and understand what all the training, pt, urgency and discipline is for, and you will build the passion for rugby.

When you have the passion, you'll know what it feels like to grasp glory.
