First Kick Excellence Match Pause - What's Happening on 26 & 27 April and 3 & 4 May
Attention First Kick Excellence families and players: Please take note of important changes to our schedule due to upcoming national events.
As part of our commitment to both football excellence and civic responsibility, First Kick Excellence will observe a temporary pause in scheduled matches over two weekends:
– 26 & 27 April 2025
– 3 & 4 May 2025
This is in consideration of the upcoming elections, which may affect venue availability, transport, and overall event logistics across Singapore.
What This Means for Players
While matches will not be held during these weekends, training will still proceed on the first weekend (27 April) to maintain momentum and keep players in rhythm. However, all sessions will be paused on the 3rd and the 4th of May, allowing our players and coaches to take a well-deserved break.
The Importance of Rest in Elite Training
In a high-performance programme like First Kick Excellence, rest is not just recommended – it’s strategic. Short breaks allow the body to recover from physical strain, reduce the risk of injury, and give players time to reflect mentally.
Keeping the Edge
During this break, we encourage our Excellence players to maintain basic fitness through light home workouts, ball control drills, and even friendly backyard football with siblings or friends. Coaches will be sharing optional fitness challenges on our Telegram and WhatsApp groups, so stay connected!
We thank all parents and players for their flexibility and understanding. Your dedication is what makes First Kick Excellence a strong and successful community.
