Why training camp helps—for kids and parents

Perks: For athletes, camp sharpens skills and builds stronger teamwork. For parents, you get a peaceful week (you’re welcome 😄).

Parents, did you enjoy a little quiet time?

Yes 😌
No, I missed them ❤️

Putrajaya Training Camp Wrap-Up

Who: 18 athletes aged 9–15

When: 4 days together: lots of work, lots of laughs, and yes, some (a lot) complaints too. Many were first-time campers and beginners, so there were many firsts.

What did we do?

Hill runs and stairs at parks + running drills in the pool
Team-building: games, drama night, picnic, Maggie night, and a small gift exchange
Daily duties: sweep, mop, prep simple group meals, wash up, tidy, pack, move as a team
Low-tech problem solving: use creativity without phones
Guest session: trained with new friends from SMK Taman SEA (Sir Zol)

What did we achieve?

Fitness: improved a little (it was a short camp), but that was not the only goal
Main goal: push athletes beyond comfort zones, build communication and cooperation
In other words, strong life skills were learned

What did we learn?

Independence: clean up your own mess, keep track of your things, pack your own bag
Respect and care: keep rooms and shared spaces clean, help your teammates
Time: be on time, move as one, listen first, act fast
Lead by serving: assign tasks, assist juniors, check equipment, report problems early

Some athletes loved the camp. Some found it harder than expected. Both are normal. Growth comes from trying, learning, and coming back again.

What’s next

Regular training continues. Keep the habits you learned: pack the night before, hydrate, sleep well, and write in your training book. See you at the next session.

Thank you

To parents, thank you for trusting us. To coaches and leaders, thank you for your energy and care. To all athletes, well done for pushing through and supporting one another.
