I’ve never been the sporty one. Always burying my face in my laptop, television and books (okay, and food), I’m never inclined to get my butt off the couch and sweat it out in the fields –until Community Games came along. Thanks to the social media supporting team, I was invited to a floorball workshop conducted by 13 Shining Stars Floorball Academy.

Learning the ropes from Jill Quek and Priscilla Chia, we couldn’t ask for better coaches. They were passionate and patient; you could see the fervency in their eyes as they dash to and fro across the court during the game.

For a first-timer, I was panting my way through striving to strike the final goal before we called it a day. It was fun nevertheless, and I would do it again without second thought. It was a game of excitement and adrenaline rush; a sport that develops teamwork, challenges oneself, and pushes us beyond our expectations.

Thanks to Community Games, I’m slowly developing a fondness for sports, and I’m now ever so ready to jump into new activities!
