5-v-5 training at the Padang on a Saturday morning.

We are delighted to announce that our club has gotten approval from Sports SG as one of the 5-v-5 facility for sports. We have started training in groups of 10 as of the 29th of January 2022. It is important to note that we are strictly abiding to the procedures and protocols. All players will have to undergo a supervised ART test on site before they are allowed to train. We hope that this will soon lead us to the end of the Covid era!
