April Updates

Sorry I haven't updated in a while! Life has been so hectic at Bintang lately, with the grand opening of Campbell end of March and then team ranking this past weekend...it just never stops!

As Coach mentioned yesterday, team ranking will now be once a month. The format will actually change a bit, so everyone can potentially move up two spots or move down two spots. So remember to practice hard every day!!! The date for the May ranking will be decided by this weekend. Also, we plan to have a little fun event towards the end of May. Details TBA.

Here are upcoming April events:

4/12-4/13: 2008 Spring USBDF @ OCBC
4/26-4/27: 2008 Spring Davis Open @ UC Davis

The nice, sunny weather is great, but it also means conditioning and double jumps until your body breaks! ^_^

Update from Ryan Ngo

Hopefully everyone still remembers Ryan Ngo!!! He should be back in a few months...hopefully he'll be super crazy and rock the tournaments when he comes back. Here is an update from him:

Hello EveryoneIve uploaded new pictures of all the boys that are in my training center of the city. Those are all the coachs that teach the boys. A few of the sites i walked past and just noticed that were interesting.Just to let you all know i am now at the Nanjing Sports Institute. Its a School for sports and they have academics here as well. Its every professional sport china is into. basketball, badminton, soccer, gymnastics, tennis, swimming, track and field... thats al i know of for now. Theres a cafateria and all that too. Im currently staying in a dorm. bymyself. but there is an extra bed so it looks like i may have a room-mate or something.Trainign here is a little mroe tough and more conditioning. than my last place. but good thing i put myself into good shape before i left.I wake up 5am Get to the trainign center 510- stretch and warm up till 530 than its conditioning till 730. than after that i have my breakfast and just relax till 200-700 training. in between i plan to do a little of conditioning myself. caiuse all the other guys here are incredibly strong and fast so i plan to run the hills around here. Its all uphill this training center so thats good. The Courts are either yonex/kason mats. and the lights ill take pictures of those they are hard to explain.Girls and Boys training in differant gyms.Just in case some of you dont remember here is the link to the pictures: http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh128/Ryan_Ngo/China%20trip
