    • Nisa Open Tournament Liberec

    On Friday 26 May 2023, shortly after six o'clock in the morning, one of our teams set off by train to the large international tournament Nisa Open Liberec, which has been held regularly since the year 2000. The club sent players from the 10-11 year-old age category.

    A long, arduous, anticipation-filled journey was followed by checking in to the accommodation - an empty classroom in one of the local primary schools. We unpacked our sleeping bags, set up our mattresses and later headed a few yards away to the tournament venue.

    Drinks and full board were provided for the participants right at the tournament venue, which consisted of 7 floorball courts (there was an additional court in the primary school where we stayed). This enabled us to play all matches without having to travel through Liberec (100,000 inhabitants). 

    Due to an unfortunate coincidence, three of our players fell ill just before the tournament started, so the team played with a reduced line. However, the 7 present players had enough power and energy to overcome this hurdle.

    Our team played a total of 8 matches and took 4th place in the group stage (only 2 of the 9 teams from the group advanced to quarter-finals). The overall competition had a great atmosphere, a total of 36 teams of this age category participated in the tournament.
    The team and opponents showcased strong sporting spirit, everyone involved enjoyed themselves. At the end of each day they were happy to crawl into their sleeping bags and rest well for the next day.

    Overall impressions of the tournament were greatly positive, the participants played against opponents that they never played before, gained valuable tournament experience, explored places they don't get to see every day and had a great time with good friends. 

    All team events push the athletes further, let them progress and grow. We are looking forward to more such tournaments in the future!

    Amazing tournament, smooth organization and communication between the coordinators, coaches and parents. Shame that some of our players were ill and couldn’t partake. Next year the victory is ours!

    I was extremely satisfied with the camp. The coaches were really kind and patient with my two boys and were always ready to help us.

    The coaches’ teaching methods were great as they not only managed to teach us loads of new things, but captured our interest as well - not a single training was boring with them.

    The camp showed me that trainings in the Czech Republic are conducted at a higher intensity compared to Singapore, focusing much more on fitness and physique.

    The drills that we did during training sessions were much more based around game situations and more practical than the drills that we usually have at home. This helped me better prepare for real matches.

    The quality of the training was really good, it allowed us to train at a much higher pace and put us under some serious tension. Looking back at it, this helped us improve a lot.

    As every year, the sports camp did not let us down this year… It was full of training, fun, and most importantly team bonding! Accommodation and facilities were very good, the hall, football and multi-purpose field on premises greatly enhanced our experience. All boys performed well in training and worked on their form and fitness for the upcoming season. As there was some age difference between the boys, the older boys became role models for the younger boys very naturally, and throughout the camp they tried to set a great example and motivate the younger ones to improve. This actually took me by surprise! I was very impressed with this attitude of the older guys and it just confirmed to me what a great group of guys they are.

    The tournament was well organized, it was a pity that we got out already in the round of sixteen. I am looking forward to the next year, will bring on a much better game!

    The camp wasn't just about hard work and sweat but also about having fun. There were football tournaments, basketball, ping-pong, knowledge quiz and other activities, all of which brought the team more tightly together as one. I believe that after the camp the boys left full of new experiences, skills and also motivated for the new season. Such group events are very beneficial for building camaraderie between boys as well as relationships between boys and coaches. I am looking forward to the next joint event!

    Stepping into a new environment on the other side of the world, we were scared at first, but after we realized how amazing the people were, we became much more comfortable.
