Even in a strong win, there are always areas we can improve as a team.

We will focus on these areas in the coming matches.

🧘 Building Better Athletes: Successful Yoga Session with Vyasa Yoga
​
We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of a special 1-hour yoga session conducted for our Academy group at CSC, led by the renowned team from Vyasa Yoga on Saturday 22nd November.
​
At Scorpien Sports Cricket Academy, we believe in nurturing the whole athlete. This session was designed to introduce our young players to the critical importance of yoga, not only for enhanced sports performance but also for lifelong general well-being.
​The session was highly active and thoroughly enjoyed by the players. While some of the asanas presented a healthy challenge, we are confident that through dedicated, regular yoga and stretching, the children will see significant improvements in their flexibility, strength, and focus.
​
A similar session is already planned and will be conducted at the Dempsey Centre in the near future.
​
We extend our deepest gratitude to:
​Vyasa Yoga and the teachers who led the session for their expertise and dedication.
​All the parents and players who generously devoted their extra time to participate in this valuable program.

SCORPIEN SOFTBALL TEAM ON A HIGH WITH 4 WINS OUT OF 5 GAMES.

Our budding Scorpien youngsters played five softball matches against RMCA and SCC teams at the Tanglin indoor halls on 2nd and 16th November. With a relatively new group of players, they approached the games with passion and enjoyment. Although it was sometimes challenging for the team to combine well—since most do not train together—they stepped onto the field with the vigor and enthusiasm unique to their age.

On 2nd November, the Scorpien boys won both their matches. On 16th November, they secured two victories and lost one narrowly. Beginning competitive matches at such a young age helps the boys quickly understand and adapt to different aspects of the game. Playing indoors also allowed them to avoid the unpredictability of the weather.

The players who took part and excelled in batting, bowling, and fielding were Mithran, Yahil Varman, Aadhavan, Idhant, Hansh, Milan, Sharun, Nimalan, Saastha, Vaishnav, Vyom, Sameer, Ryan, and Kabir. We are deeply grateful for the support of the parents, whose encouragement ensures that the boys enjoy a competitive yet learning-focused atmosphere. We also encourage new members of the softball group to sign up for upcoming matches and be part of this exciting journey. The next event for the softball group is on 30th November at Tanglin trust School.
