Forbidden City FC 紫禁城足球俱乐部

Evening All.

Training is on again this Wednesday at the same time and place as last week (full details below).

With the start of the BTV6 9 a-side tournament along with the all day 7 a-side tournament taking place this weekend, we are going to use this session to get the two squads playing together.  There will be a warm up followed by some attacking drills, then we will spend the majority of the session playing 9 a-side (with substitutes).
All are welcome as usual.

Please can you bring a white top as well as a dark (black/blue) top to make it easier to split the teams.  Also bring water with you as there is nowhere close to the field to buy it.

Date: Wednesday 10th August

Time: 8:30 – 10:00pm (try to arrive early so we can start on time)

Location: 9 a-side pitch at Chaoyang Park (50m on right after entering east gate 7)
Cost: 30Rmb

See you there.
Cheers,
Ally

Morning Campers.

The 11 a-side football season starts in one month and there are cup matches and other stuff even sooner than that.  So your lazy summer break is officially over … pre-season training starts in force this Wednesday 3rd August. It will be the same set-up on Wednesday 10th August as well.

What  : Club training, led by Ally – a good mix of fitness, ball work and match play. It will be fun.
When  : Wednesday, 8:30 PM – 10:00 PM, be there at least 20 minutes in advance to maximise time on pitch and loosen up properly.
Where : New 9-a-side pitch at Chaoyang Park.

Why  : To get fit, no excuses.
Wear :  It’s fake grass so decent training shoes, but not wet studs/cleets.
Worth  : As usual it will cost between ¥ 20 to ¥ 30.
Weather  : it’s not going to rain.
What else  : Probably a beer or Sprite afterwards to chat about holiday romances.

Gate 7 is the normal 5-aside gate at Chaoyang Park East.  Go in the main entrance for the car park, walk to the bike shed, then turn right. The 9-aside pitch is 50 metres along on your right hand side.

Please reply yes/no so Ally can get an idea of numbers to properly organise the session.

Cheers,
Pikey

Guys, Futsal is on as usual tonight at the Canadian School from 8pm-10pm. With the intra-squad game coming up next week this is a chance to try to get some early fitness, have some fun and, perhaps more importantly, get a sneak peek of the kit for the upcoming season. Here is the map to CISB: http://www.cisb.com.cn/page/contact_us/maps.php Please RSVP now if you’re able to make it out tonight. Cheers, JD

Citizens,Winter Break? nonsense! – The season starts now lads! Futsal has been on for a while and been a great laugh for those that make it regularly on mondays at CIS. Our first all squad/intra squad game is in 2 weekends and will be a great opportunity to gage our fitness and have a proper 11 aside game, so be sure to make yourselves available. The rest of the schedule you can find below. Happy New Year and see you soon!PhilippePS: Rumour has it the new kit has hit the shelves…Winter Pre-season Schedule
