2020 had been a challenging year for the Committee. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had missed many trainings and the opportunity to create fond memories among the fellow trainees. In addition, we were also unable to participate in yearly Club events and tournaments.
Despite the impact from COVID-19, we managed to enrol 20 new trainees into the Taekwondo Junior Training Programme.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
Coach Nordon had put in time and effort during the circuit breaker in making sure that the trainees did not lose touch in the sport. He would ensure that the trainees send their training videos via WhatsApp.
We were glad to resume the physical training on 26 and 28 June 2020. However, due to constraints, 30 minutes timeslot per training was implemented during the start of the resumption in Sunday’s training and we managed to gradually change the timeslot to 1-hour per group with reference to the belt colour.
The quarterly Supplementary Grading hosted by the Club was well-attended and the trainees achieved a 100% passing rate. Kudos to our junior members!
On 27 December 2020, we organised the In-House Games Tournament with 62 trainees signing up for the event. We were pleased to see the juniors putting in effort during the event and hope to see more events in the upcoming months.
We hope to organise and attend more events and tournaments so that our current trainees can represent the Club in both internal and external competitions.
We aim to promote Taekwondo by retaining and recruiting more junior members in order to develop and nurture more talents in this sport.
I would like to express my gratitude to Coach Nordon for his dedication and time in making it possible to have weekly organised trainings. Also, I would like to thank the parents and trainees for their kind understanding and continued support during this difficult period.
