Red Devils in Singapore 

After conducting several youth developmental courses over the past few years, the Manchester United Soccer Schools will set up a permanent base at the ITE College Central in Ang Mo Kio. As part of their community outreach programme, they conducted a soccer and nutrition workshop for the teenagers at the Teens Network Club on last Sunday at our Bedok clubhouse.

The teenagers had an eye-opener on the learning philosophies imparted in similar fashion to their peers in Manchester, England. The coaches shared invaluable experiences of training with a top professional football club and also engaged in games and quizzes relating to football.

Even the torrential rain did not dampen the spirits of the teenagers who were wow-ed by the prospects of playing at the academy one day...

The planned practical session did not happen though, but we're sure to arrange possible future sessions again.

Teens Network Club 10th Anniversary
Sports Fiesta 2012 - Qualifying Round 2

Day 2 was as competitive as the first as more teams seek to snatch the remaining 3 qualification spots for the chance to play in the finals.

Competition aside, we witnessed new friendship forged and the spirit of sportsmanship displayed. Even the level of competition was raised a notch.

Special Feature :- Teens Network Talent Development Fund 

As the Teens Network Club celebrated its 10th anniversary last year, the Teens Network Talent Development Fund was set up to provide seed money to budding teenagers who have shown potential in non-academic areas like performing arts and sports.

This fund helps to provide financial aid to eligible youth from low income families by supporting them for relevant training and courses in their talent field to assist them to realise their fullest potential.

The fun was officially launched by Emeritus Senior Minister (ESM) Goh Chok Tong at the Teens Network Club's 10 Anniversary Musical - Music Brings Us Together, which was held on 30 June 2012 at the Drama Centre, National Library. It was where Mr Goh Chok Tong unveiled a cheque of $200,000 as seed funding that was partly raised by the youth themselves.

The first cohort of 12 recipients who have been identified for this funding has 4 teenagers under the Sports category where they have shown talent to excel in Football. They are :-

1) Reimy Jasmani Bin Jamil
2) Zulhelmi Bin Ismadi
3) Sundramoorthy
4) Muhd Adli Amirul Zaman Bin Kamalruzaman

They are currently placed in youth football developmental programmes in their age-groups at the Arsenal Soccer School and Fandi Ahmad Academy.

We will be following their progress over the few months and are already looking forward to the next batch of footballers who show promise.

The future of Singapore football looks great.

Teens Network Club 10th Anniversary
Sports Fiesta 2012 - Qualifying Rounds 

To reach out to more footballers in the community, the 2012 edition of the Sports segment of our flagship event turned to the streets, extending its registration to the schools and the general public. As it turned out, we received an overwhelming response of entries and the qualifiers had to be played at 2 venues over 2 days.

With only 6 qualifiers making it to the finals at *SCAPE, competition for the coveted places was tough from the word go. The U-16 category was a tough draw as many teams had school team players. The standard of play was raised another level as more players got to spur with better teams.

The Teens Network Club also had representation from every club, hoping to challenge for the milestone trophy.
