SCC EMBARKS ON COACH TRAINING PROGRAM AMIDST PLANS FOR
FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT
SCC is the first private club and entity to enrol in FAS’s football coaching program - others being SportSG and PA
- and following this, the Football Section aims to develop its own coaching capabilities to grow its SCC Football
Academy, while also heeding the call to support the “Unleash the Roar!” national project, engage and give back
to the community.

From 17 - 18 April 2021 (Saturday – Sunday), the Singapore Cricket
Club (SCC) organised the first of its coaching education program
and collaborated with the Football Association of Singapore (FAS)
to jointly conduct a Grassroots Coaching Course.
A total of 16 members from the SCC Football Section over a
diverse age range spent two days with FAS coaches to learn how
to educate and develop young football players aged 6 – 9 years.
Many of the members, themselves footballers who have played
competitively for the SCC in local and regional tournaments, were
taught the essential skills and qualities a coach needs to have to
plan and conduct training sessions.
“This is the first phase of the SCC Football Section’s initiative to
raise up its own team of coaches who will then be able to develop
our own young football talents as well as help the wider community
via engagement programs,” explained the club’s Football Section
Convenor Amos Boon.
“We have to be proactive and do our part to nurture Singapore’s
football landscape,” he continued. As an affiliate of the FAS, we
were excited at the announcement and wanted to be part of the
chapter in the “Unleash the Roar!” campaign. We knew we had
the infrastructure and capability to be an extended arm of this
nationwide project. We thus connected with the FAS Coaching
Department and managed to organise this within three weeks.
We intend to grow our current academy with Elite teams with
specialised training modules and also assist our current coaches
in further developing their pathway.
“Our hope is that after this course, we will have a wider pool of
qualified coaching talent which we can tap into to grow football
not just within SCC but beyond. We will also continue to work with
FAS and its “Unleash the Roar!” campaign, to keep training our
coaches, and send them for FAS’s higher coaching modules in
the future.”
FAS President Lim Kia Tong graced the opening of the course on
the SCC Padang Field and expressed his delight at SCC being the
first National Football League (NFL) club that FAS has collaborated
exclusively with to run the course for their members.
He emphasised that this initiative to share FAS’ technical expertise
in coaching represents a vital part of the Unleash the Roar project
as quality grassroots coaching will go a long way in ensuring high
participation rates in football for young children – increasing their
exposure to football from a young age.
Mr. Lim also presented attendees with their coaching course
certificates and pledged to show his support for more of such
initiatives in the future from other affiliates, opening the pathway
for more aspiring coaches to consider this as their careers.
Martin Goerojo, Chairman of SCC’s Games Control Board, said, “I
am very glad to see the Section pushing out such initiatives which
help us, the Section Members, to self-improve. As a player whose
competitive playing days are a thing of past, I wish to give back to
the game and to the Club by being able to nurture the passion for
the sport to the next generation.
                                                                         He added, “Our first batch of 16 SCC Football Section coaches

“It has always been my objective to give something back to the
sport that has given me a good life full of wonderful memories
whilst playing the beautiful game,” said Glyn Vince, Captain of the
Football Section. “I have been fortunate enough to play the game
at a high level making many long life friends and memories all over
the world.
“It has always been my desire to pass on the knowledge and
skills to those youngsters with a passion for the game and in
particular those lesser fortunate children whom do not have
maybe the funds to make today’s academys. I have always
discussed with the PADANTIQUES and the Section to go into the
community and bring lesser fortunate and orphaned children to
The Padang and coach them and let them try the great game.
Now that I have successfully navigated the Grassroots Coaching
School I hope that we can make these dreams a reality and put the
SCC into the community and give something back.”
Growing with the Club from a JSM to a OTM, Football Section
Member Chang Guo Guang hopes to channel all that he learnt from
the coaching course into the SCC Football Academy and serve his
part towards Goal 2034: “I’ve had experience coaching children
from ages 5-10 for SCC Football Academy several years back.
Those sessions delivered were based off a syllabus formulated
by a private coaching school and the mode of delivery was largely
from my own personal experience as a former professional athlete.
“With the FAS Grassroots Coaching Course, I saw an opportunity
for self-evaluation and I thought that through the course I would
also be able to identify areas for improvement; so I decided to sign
up for it.
“The two-day course made me more conscious about the structure
of a good training session, i.e the various components etc., as
well as the characteristics of the various age group,” Chang
explained. “This knowledge will certainly allow me to better plan
                                                                         Bartlett noted, “I think the main thing I’ve taken away is that the

optimally with maximum enjoyment.”

APPLICATION OF ANTI-MICROBIAL COATING FOR HIGH CONTACT AREAS
Protects Members and staff by keeping treated surfaces continuously disinfected for up to 180 days

In mid-June 2021, all high contact areas in the SCC Clubhouse were been treated with a self-disinfecting antimicrobial coating - including
doors and railings, Member and staff restrooms and changing room, the gym, etc.
Using this anti-microbial coating technology, treated surfaces are now continuously being disinfected against bacteria, fungi and viruses
for up to 180 days from the time of the electrostatic spray application – this is greatly more efficient than general cleaning and disinfection
which is only effective at the point of application.

sdpro: Anti-Microbial Coating Technology
The same technology as what SCC used in July last year, sdpro is an anti-microbial coating that neutralises microbes (i.e. bacteria, fungi,
viruses) which come into contact with the treated surfaces by physically rupturing the target’s organism’s cell membrane on contact,
thereby reducing their ability to infect.
As it is applied to the high contact areas via electrostatic spray, the coating molecularly bonds to the surfaces semi-permanently and
cannot be easily removed by regular cleaning processes – hence, it is continuously self-disinfecting the treated surfaces for up to 180
days, with just one application.
In comparison, other cleaning agents kill germs during the disinfecting process, but the killing stops once the solution dries, hence the
need for repeated rounds of disinfecting.
This self-disinfecting coating is made with a US EPA-registered (USA’s Environmental Protection Agency) antimicrobial active ingredient
that is safe for humans and eco-friendly.

Is it effective against COVID-19?
This anti-microbial coating contains US’s Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)-approved ingredient that is proven to be
effective against COVID-19 and similar strains of coronavirus.
It has been tested against the norovirus (non-enveloped) which, according to CDC’s guidelines, are “Product capable of inactivating “non-
enveloped viruses (norovirus, rotavirus,
adenovirus, poliovirus) are broadly antiviral
and capable of inactivating both enveloped
and non-enveloped viruses”.
It has also been tested to be effective against
the H1N1 virus (flu virus).

Is it safe for human contact?
The coating has been tested by the US
EPA and various international 3rd party
laboratories and is found to be harmless to
the skin and tested to be safe for also infants
and kids.
It has also been applied in childcare centres
to combat against HFMD (hand, foot &
mouth) and centres have reported between
80-100% success rate in the elimination of
outbreaks of these infections.

Running in the new normal
2019, we miss you. After the unbelievable turn of events of the past 18 months or so, we are now finding ourselves trying
to live with the dreaded Coronavirus whilst still trying to curb and eventually eliminate it. Lockdowns, quarantines,
social distancing and practicing proper hygiene have come far in helping us stay safe but with many compromises
in our everyday lives.
Joggers and runners in particular have felt this paradigm shift unlike many others, with the constant lament of
wearing a mask, making sure to avoid crowded routes and regularly monitoring their health. As it is probably still a
far way off to complete normalcy, here’s a simple guide for running during the new normal.

Masked up, Gassed up
The most important part of the cardio equation begins with a little thing called oxygen. The intensity propagated by
the act of running requires more oxygen than usual. Put a layer of fabric over your mouths and noses and you’re left
with a slightly alarming problem. Remove the mask when necessary and plan your route to ensure as few joggers/
runners as possible encounter you and vice versa. You will have to abide by the rules though as masks must be worn
at all other times so remove it right before you take off and put it back on immediately when you’re done.
Pro-tip: Use disposable masks during your runs so you wouldn’t have to constantly deal with sweat soaked masks on
your laundry list.

Beat the Crowd
A compact island like Singapore with a high volume of people living in close proximity mixed with the popularity
of jogging or running within the community all but guarantees that you will bump into a few others during your run.
While some have chosen to stay in with a treadmill, if you’re not ready to invest in one or generally prefer the outdoors,
measures should be taken to avoid getting close to one another. COVID-19 has been found to be air-borne and
the average runner’s breathing is intensified during the activity, which in turn ensures a higher chance of spread or
infection. Thus, try re-routing and/or planning a different time for your run and you’ll be able to continue reaping those
cardiovascular benefits without compromising your safety.

Check yourself before…You know.
At the heart of the matter, Covid-19 is a respiratory illness. And if you didn’t already know, running relies heavily on
regulated breathing. While this may seem to be the perfect recipe for disaster for the runner, one of the best ways
to protect yourself is to ensure you listen to your body and immediately act if you feel something is off. One of the
most terrifying elements of COVID-19 is its delayed displays of symptoms. Constant temperature checks should be
performed at home regardless if you’re feeling slightly under the weather or even perfectly fine. Subsequent swab
tests should be administered for people who have been in contact with others who are infected and quarantine
should be enforced if the situation calls for it.
While it doesn’t have to be all gloom and doom, some change is necessary for the outdoor running enthusiasts. And
by doing our part in the battle against this unseen enemy, we will still be able to enjoy some semblance of normalcy
until we are able to slip on our running shoes and dismiss those uncomfortable masks once and for all.

                                                                                                JUL / AUG 2021 THE PADANG   11

     National Day Parades since 1966
     National Day celebrations with a parade featuring the march-past of military and civilian contingents were
     held yearly at the Padang from 1966 to 1975 until NDP was decentralised and held at 13 selected centres
     across Singapore. The NDP was celebrated at the National Stadium for the first time in 1976 and thereafter at
     the Padang or the National Stadium, with the exception of 1977, 1979 and 1981.

     In this issue, we look back at how the Club has enjoyed a front-row seat in commemorating the nation’s
     celebrations over the years as Singapore marks its 53rd year of independence.

“THE DISCOVERY OF ITALIAN WINES” WORKSHOP
26 Apr 2021, Gilmour Room
The Wine Circle presented another enjoyable
in-person educational tasting workshop of
ten-award winning wines.
It was an honour to have Mr. Roderic
Proniewski, with his impressive credentials, to
be the presenter for the evening. Mr. Proniewski
has the WSET Certification (with distinction)
and is an educator at the prestigious Ecole du
Vin de Bordeaux. He is a Senior Judge at IWC
London & and an Overseas Guest Judge at
Michelangelo South Africa.
He introduced eight white grape varietals
(Fiano, Garganega, Moscato, Pinot Bianco,
Vermentino, Verdicchio, Trebbiano and Pinot
Grigio) & 12 red ones (Aglianico, Barbera,
Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,
Corvina, Merlot, Sangiovese, Rondinella,
Nero D’Avola, Nebbiolo, Montepulciano, and
Corvinone) from across 20 wine regions in
Italy.
It was a full house and an extremely interactive
evening with the Members’ numerous queries
being answered by Mr. Proniewski. With each
wine, he also highlighted the vegetarian,
vegan & non-vegetarian cuisines across
different regions that can be paired with them.
The workshop was conducted under the
COVID-19 guidelines, and the cozy tables of
five facilitated interesting conversations and
an opportunity for its participants to bond over
wine.
The post-workshop feedback was very
encouraging and has fueled the Wine Circle
Committee to continue to plan and deliver
more such events in the following months.
The latest Australian wine tasting, which was
a virtual event, had the largest number of
participants and its review will be presented in
the next Padang issue.

        The Wine Circle Committee encourages all wine
     lovers to join as Members. We are planning various
      exciting events and we look forward to seeing our
      Members at these specially curated events. More
       information will be sent to the Members through
          email and the Wine Circle WhatsApp group.

           We wish everyone safety and good health.
