The roles are designated to each and every person after careful consideration so the team advises that everyone carry out their duties with integrity and for the sole improvement of the team.


2. New changes

As of today, a few important changes will be implemented with immediate effect and this is very important.

ATTENDANCE

- Attendance will be taken for EVERY TRAINING, FRIENDLY AND SOCIAL KICKABOUTS that kamikaze arranges. The attendance consolidated will then be given to the manager to make a decision in naming his squad. To put it easier, in order to be selected to play, you have to come for the 3 important activities which would be training, friendlies and kickabouts. This is to ensure that players will have to be involved in everything and not just turn up and expect to be played.
As we are all working adults and this matter cannot be handled like professional clubs, we have singled out a few scenarios where you can be excused. These instances are:

-If you are unwell on that day

-If you have work/study commitments

If you have to handle with a tragic loss of someone

If you do have a valid reason which is not listed above, please explain your case to the manager over phone and if it is valid enough, you will be granted an excuse.When you receive an alert for training, friendlies or kickabouts and you confirm your attendance, please make sure that it's your responsibility to attend on that day. Situations which will not be tolerated or given a straight absent case would be :

-Confirming your attendance but not turning up on that day

-Not replying your status but verbally telling your friend that you are coming

-Attending drunk

As stated, this will also be attended in a case by case basis. If you feel that you have a valid reason, please call the manager and speak to him.

KAMIKAZE GAIN-AS-YOU-TRAIN SYSTEM

This system was devised to structure kamikaze's foundation and also hone their team strengths in the process. This whole process will last approximately 16-20WEEKS and in this time, we will NOT be playing competitive football of any sort i.e leagues and championships. This was designed solely to function together as a team and play better football so that we can achieve better results. The structure will be:

Week 1 - Specialist training with coach
Week 2 - Friendly against an anonymous team
Week 3 - Team training to correct errors/improve from the points we noted in the friendly
Week 4 - Kamikaze Kickabout/Friendly within our team

Please keep your sundays free at the time we have this program so that everyone can train as a team and thus improve together, which is the objective of this system.


Having said these, i hope you guys will give your full co-operation and definitely after 16-20 weeks, we'll be able to come out motivated, ready and raring to mount a serious title challenge to whoever is in our way. Our road to improvement starts this sunday with a friendly. I'll keep you updated about the match details. Till then, keep busy with the poll! Ciao

Wedding Bells in KKZ

A joyous occasion took place within the kamikaze team as kkz goalkeeper ganesh tied the knot on 20/20/2011. Ganesh , 27 this year has been a prolific figure between the posts for kamikaze in their campaign and has helped kamikaze achieve the double last season. Signed from team vasantham in the summer of 2009, Ganesh has never let his fans and team down and keeps producing trademark saves week in week out. He is also the 2nd player within kamikaze to tie the knot, the first being the commanding centre-back jayraj who tied the knot in mid-2009.

Team Kamikaze, fans and well-wishers wish Mr&Mrs Ganesh a happy married life and wonderful years ahead.

Fan's Decision

From the recent poll conducted, Fans have chosen KKZ vs Amk rebellious 2nd leg to be the most exciting contest in the CFL 2010/2011 season. An 8 goal thriller, the game saw a spirited kamikaze comeback from 3-0 down.

Hari started the proceedings by driving a thunderbolt of a shot into the top right corner after a set-piece mix up. The shot gave the goalie no chance but secretly ignited the kkz spirit which lead to a furry of attacks. Ace striker safar then proceeded to calmly score two goals by taking the whole defence on each time and managing to slot the ball home from 6 yards each time.

Then came a moment of magic. Aravind, who had been threatening the opposition from the left wing did so again, this time collecting a cool pass from jayraj, angling a shot and driving the ball into the top right with his left foot...all this from the left byline 35 yards out! The goal which stunned the opposition, kamikaze players and the scorer himself just has to go down as one of the best goals that a kamikaze player has ever scored. With the opposition almost resigning, but refusing to go down, safar hit the final nail on the coffin by turning in a free kick with a cheeky back header to get his hat-trick and give kamikaze a 2 goal cushion. At the final whistle, one can only praise the kamikaze spirit and their drive to move on.

That's it guys. A small match preview for you and the fans. The next poll is up so please be sure to vote on that. Ciao!
