Generation Ocean Warriors

It has always been a core mission at ANZA Nippers to teach children ocean preservation. KAT GILZMER shares how we do it, from guest speaker sessions to keeping the beach shipshape.

Over the years, each ANZA Nippers session has started with a beach clean-up: Age Managers and their respective age groups scour Palawan beach, picking up rubbish and disposing of it in the correct bins. It turns out to be a really fun gig as the children get excited over finding food wrappings, bottle lids, plastic and paper. The bad news is, plastic takes from 20 to 500 years to decompose (a plastic bag roughly 20 years; a bottle 450 years) and paper 4 - 6 weeks*. Sadly, despite our best efforts, a lot of the rubbish left on the sand by beachgoers ends up in the ocean.

Global hotspot

According to the United Nations, every minute, the equivalent of one rubbish truck of plastic is dumped into our oceans. Fish, seabirds, sea turtles and marine mammals can become entangled in or ingest plastic debris, causing suffocation, starvation, and drowning**.

Throughout the season, ANZA Nippers event manager Jaq invites guest speakers to our sessions – back in October, we hosted the Friends of Marine Park experts who shared their knowledge on corals and reef protection. We’re always grateful to these organisations who volunteer their time on a Sunday to educate the future Nippers have lots of generation. questions for the experts

What many of us don’t realise is that Singapore sits in a global hotspot of coral reef diversity. Recent surveys show that the island contains more than 255 species of coral. That is half as much as the entire Great Barrier Reef, and nearly three times as many as live in the Atlantic Ocean!

Singapore has about 600km2 of sea, with about 9.5km2 of coral reef, 6.26km2 of mangrove forest, and about 5km of mud flats. According to the Comprehensive Marine Biodiversity Survey by the National Parks Board (NParks) and the National University of Singapore, the island is home to over 1100 species, including several new ones, only discovered as the survey was being carried out.

Eco challenges

The urgent need to address environmental challenges and to develop a conservation plan was recognised when Singapore announced a broadly conceptual National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP) in 2009, followed by a holistic NParks’ Nature Conservation Master Plan (NCMP) in

We spoke to Gail Tay, Director of Operations & Programmes at The International SeaKeepers Society when she was in town in November.

2015, with the aim to chart the course of Singapore’s future biodiversity conservation efforts.

In the past decade, many organisations, associations and community groups have been initiated involving more than 40,000 volunteers, citizen scientists, nature advocacy groups, academics and others. All have the common goal to preserve Singapore’s unique and fascinating coastal and marine environment.

We can all do our part. We see it as our mission at ANZA Nippers to raise awareness, educate, and act with the aim to protect the environment and marine life for future generations to come.

Tell us about the International SeaKeepers Society… We’re a not-for-profit organisation which was founded in 1998 in the US by a small group of yacht owners who were alarmed by the state of the ocean. What are you working on right now? One of our science projects is “Seabed 2030” in cooperation with the Nippon Foundation. The aim is to map 80% of the world’s ocean floors by 2030. We also help grassroots communities in countries like Indonesia with projects on coral restoration. You brought the ocean collective summit to Singapore at the end of last year… The event was attended by around 150 people with 13 international and local speakers. The audience consisted of students from Republic Polytechnic, NTU, and the National University of Singapore, members of the marine conservation community and people from the corporate sector. What do you hope to achieve in Asia over the next few years? We will continue our mandate to create an awareness of the health of the ocean through educational outreach and will be launching more citizen science programmes. Our biannual song writing programme encourages young songwriters to produce songs about the ocean which are then made available through music platforms such as Spotify. Meanwhile, in Malaysia we're working towards conserving sea turtles in Terengganu. We are mainly trying to do three things: 1) create an educational roadshow for schools to educate students about sea turtles 2) support a hatchery on Kapas island 3) habitat monitoring around Kapas island to ensure sea turtles come back and lay their eggs. What eco message would you like to share with our Nippers?

Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us!

The new season of ANZA Cricket is upon us and we’re bowled over to be back!

NETs stuff to know

NETs kick off each Wednesday at Turf City from 7pm. We assemble 5-10 people who enjoy rolling the arm over through our WhatsApp chat. It's not a problem if you don’t want to play games, don't have equipment and/or just want to do NETs. They are social NETs and everyone is most welcome.

When Covid restrictions were lifted in Singapore last April, ANZA Cricket returned in something of a panic with everyone keen to get out on the green again.

We quickly assembled two league squads and the ever-young Dream Team. As time progressed and the rules around playing a match became easier all round, we managed to play some 28 league games and 10+ social games in the remaining seven months of the year. It was joyous to see many of the old dogs returning and to welcome some new faces who’d been patiently waiting in the wings until the pandemic madness subsided. A very warm welcome goes to Ravi, Manu, Darren, Kunal, Patrick, Pradeep, Raghu, Anton, Harold, Chris,Jake, George, Usman, Nick, Rishi and Tarraqand returnees, Dominic, Chiro and Ian.

Highlights & Happenings

NEWS FROM ON AND OFF THE CRICKET PITCH

ANZA Bushrangers finished in the middle of their division with some exceptional cricket, highlights being Sandesh Gavade and Steve Anderson’s inspirational batting throughout the season

ANZA Diggers had a fluctuating season, beating some of the top teams but losing some others through fielding. No worries though - now we know what to focus on next year!

A shout out goes to our two talented juniors, Satvik Bhardwaj and Nayaz Ihisaas Halim. Nayaz in particular bowled exceptionally well in Bushrangers and earned selection in the Singapore U16 side. We look forward to more talent emerging in 2023

Weekdays, a strong NETs session group has developed at Turf City (huge thanks to Ben Frost of Diggers). With up to 12 people attending each week, it has been a lot of fun and also good socially with an open invitation to drinks afterwards. These NETs are great for people thinking of joining ANZA Cricket, so don’t be shy and come down! Roll the arm over even if rusty and meet the lads!

The Dream Team, which is our social side, started Friday afternoon cricket sessions. This has gone down a storm, especially as people now have more flexible working arrangements and it also allows them more time with their kids on weekends

SCC Youth Development

As yet, ANZA doesn’t run a junior team, but Singapore Cricket Club offers a youth development programme for kids aged 5-10. With a variety of sessions running weekends and mid-week, the Cubs Cricket environment is “all about fun and enjoyment through our brilliant game." To find out more contact David Bennett at JuniorCricket@scccricket.com ANZA CRICKET IS DELIGHTED TO WELCOME OUR NEW LEAGUE SPONSOR

Bye-bye Rachael Renwick!

FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR ANZA NETBALL

ANZA Netball completed 2022 with netball leagues and tournaments that have set them up for even more success in the coming year.

After a slow start, the second half of 2022 saw the return of regular netball leagues and tournaments to Singapore. ANZA Netball was of course keen to participate and embraced the chance to play on the pitch and compete with others.

The Sport Ready League was open to our players in the U11 and U12 age groups - ANZA Fire and ANZA Scorchers (U11) and ANZA Heat and ANZA Flames (U12) - all of whom were raring to go! The matches were held at Dulwich School and Tanglin Trust School on Saturday mornings with the U11 league running for 11 weeks with 11 teams from 6 clubs, and the U12 league running for 7 weeks with 7 teams from 4 clubs. The opportunity for ANZA Netball to enjoy a regular tournament was fantastic as many of the girls had never played a competition before. They loved it!

In the U12 Division, ANZA Heat finished in first place. In the U11 Division, both ANZA Fire and ANZA Scorchers finished near the top of the table.

The SGNA Cup also ran over a couple of months in late 2022 for the U14 and U16 age groups which meant that ANZA Thunder and ANZA Flash (U14), and ANZA Storm and ANZA Lightning (U16) could play. The netball clubs participating were Singapore Netball Academy, Sport Ready, Centaurs, TKSS, and ANZA. This league was held at Methodist Girls School and Nan Hua High School on Sunday afternoons.

In the SGNA Cup U16 Division, ANZA Storm finished undefeated and top of the table at the end of the regular season. In the U14 Division, ANZA Thunder also finished undefeated and top of the table at the end of the regular season. Needless to say, both teams did brilliantly.

A special thank you and farewell go to Nicky and Rachael Renwick (see pic above left) who have been keystone members of the ANZA Netball Club for many years and departed at the end of 2022. Nicky has done an amazing job, expertly managing the logistics of the Session 3 girls aged 13 and above for several years. Rachael, an integral member of the 2007 cohort, was farewelled by running through an arch of Session 3 players. The ANZA Netball community wishes them all the best. The ANZA Accelerator mini league took place over two weekends in November and December at Tanglin Trust School for the younger girls playing U10, U9 and U8. This was a friendly tournament with even skillsbased teams and a positive experience for all. Several clubs joined in and the event allowed the younger girls to put their skills training into solid practice.

We are so proud of the ANZA players who competed in all of the 2022 leagues. With our fabulous group of professional coaches, as well as our multi-talented volunteers and fantastic indoor facilities, the future looks very bright indeed for ANZA Netball.

In Conversation With Making A Mark

ANZA Cycling got front row seats and backstage passes to the inaugural Tour de France Singapore event. Here’s what happened.

The first-ever Tour de France Prudential Singapore Criterium took place at the end of October which saw pro racers Chris Froome, Jonas Vingegaard, Antonio and Vincenzo Nibali, Alejandro Valverde and Mark Cavendish descend upon the red dot (screeeeam!). Throngs turned out to watch them race the 3.2km circuit with reigning Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard

Above: Tour de France joint record holder, Mark Cavendish Below: ANZA Cycling meet cycling legends Jonas Vinegaard, Chris Froome, Alejandro Valverde and Mark Cavendish taking first place after being the first to cross the finish line at the end of the 20 laps. ANZA Cycling were excited to head down to The Float @ Marina Bay to not only witness the action, but to ask joint record holder of the most number of stages won (34) at the Tour de France, Mark Cavendish, some key cycling questions. Yes, much ‘fangirling’ ensued alongside photo opportunities and signings. A fantastic weekend was had by all.

ANZA: How does a sprinter prepare to get through three weeks of some of the hardest climbs in the world? Mark Cavendish: The difference

between a sprinter and a climber is that a climber will train to be able to race on the climbs, so with a lot of accelerations, whereas a sprinter will train to get through the mountains without losing their sprint while trying to conserve energy. This doesn’t mean going easy, we always have to go hard, but it’s more of a constant pace rather than a stop-start. We train accelerations on the flat and steady on the climb, where as climber trains steady on the flat and accelerations on the climb. It’s simpler than you think!

Cycling has taken off around the world. What’s your advice for countries with no cycling history to develop their talent?

Mark Cavendish in action during Stage 5 of Le Tour de France 2021

First and foremost, you’ve got to take cycling outside of sport and look at riding bikes as a mode of transport. The biggest problem in the UK was being able to ride on the roads while feeling safe. The more people can go out on the bike safely, the more they will enjoy it. Fundamentally, the first thing to look at is the transport infrastructure of the country. l like riding with my family as a mode of transport. Once you get people enjoying the bike that way, then you can look at racing.

How important are off-bike activities for cyclists such as weights and core flexibility?

It all helps, but you don’t need it. I don’t really have any advice as I do most of my strength training on the bike. Rather than putting in two hours in the gym doing weights, I prefer to do extra hours of cycling. When you’re younger, core stability doesn’t really matter; you can gain benefits from it, but as you get older it becomes more important. As for activities like yoga, it depends on the person. I don’t do it or much stretching, although maybe I should!

Have you got any nutrition tips or favourite ways to recover or eat while in training?

Don’t wait to get hungry on the bike; eat before you feel you have to. Keep it to little and often. If you can take 60g of carbs every half an hour as a bar or a gel you should never ‘explode’ on the bike, if that makes sense!

I've had times when a race is not about riding a bike,it's about fighting with your head

Above: Tim Hutchins with his signed poster Below: ANZA Cycling President Marco Mejia with daughters and wife, Eva

What’s the hardest day on the bike you’ve ever had?

There’s been a few in the Tour de France. It’s rare to go three weeks in a race when you don’t have one day that’s a bit much. I’ve certainly had times when a race is not about riding the bike anymore, it’s about fighting with your head to get through to the next stage and turning the pedals without force.

How do you get through those tough moments?

You have to remember that there’s always a finish line. It may feel like the race is going to go on forever, but I always tell myself there is an end point. The one thing I say to my kids is to always work hard and don’t give up on anything, and you can take that long term and short term. Focusing on the finish line is what gets me through.

Please recommend your favourite destinations for a cycling trip …

Italy is always good. I’ve got a house in Tuscany and that’s great on and off the bike - great weather, great food, and many cyclists. However, the Isle of Man, between England and Ireland, where I was born, will always be my favourite place to ride. It’s a bit tricky to get there but it’s so worth it.

What advice would you give to someone who's doing their first crit race?

Don’t fear the fall. Being scared is part and parcel of riding a bike and racing – it’s part of the fun! Of course, you can take more calculated risks the further forward you are in a group, but mostly, you should just embrace the thrill of the race.

Roaring To Go!

Age Group Coordinator LIZZIE POYNER explains what makes Saturday mornings so much fun for ANZA’s Little Lions and their parents.

Despite it being 8am on a Saturday morning, a roar of excitement rises from the indoor soccer pitch at The Cage Sports Park, Turf City, as our Little Lions commence their fun warmups with ANZA Soccer professional coaches Mas and Awan, helped by our awesome parent coaches.

As Age Group Coordinator (AGC) for our Group 4 children, born in 2018, I look on as these pint-sized players next break into teams and move through exercises that not only keep them engaged but also help them to develop their soccer skills, coordination, and teamwork. At the end of a fun-filled hour, stickers are handed out and there are lots of high fives and smiling, sweaty faces.

I joined ANZA soccer with my two kids in 2020. At that point during the pandemic, the government’s rules on social distancing and group sizes limited our ability to interact and play in more usual formats. Now, post-Covid, the energy and sociability of ANZA soccer is

Tim Wright, Parent Volunteer Coach

We started with ANZA Soccer during Covid and were really impressed with how the group managed the restrictions. As a coach, I’ve enjoyed the culture and everyone’s welcoming nature, which I believe comes from the largely volunteer-led management. Although being taught how to coach football by an Australian organisation slightly dented my British pride, it’s been second to none with support and guidance from both the pro coaches and the other parent coaches.

We started ANZA Soccer with my son Max (age 2.5) in August, 2020. My older son Edward had already begun training with ANZA, and both he and my husband had been warmly welcomed into the 2013 age group. I volunteered to be a team parent in August 2020 and it was amazing to see the children settle despite the challenges presented by the pandemic. Fast forward two years and all of the parents are pitch-side cheering our children on, and the friendships my son and I have formed mean we really look forward to soccer each week. We’re constantly meeting new people and making new friends, and we plan to join other ANZA activities, including Athletics and Scouts, soon!

back! It’s fantastic to see so many parents joining us on the pitch as volunteers or standing on the sideline with their morning drink in hand while cheering on the kids. Meanwhile, the children are having a great time doing lively drills and energetic games that help them to build their confidence, develop team bonds, and learn the game in different fun and playful ways.

Starting each weekend at ANZA Soccer, helping out and chatting over a cuppa while the kids have a ball, has been a great way to meet other parents. I have been lucky to make some amazing friends there, which has led to many social gatherings with kids and even parents’ nights out. ANZA is a volunteerbased organisation, and we couldn’t run Little Lions without our wonderful parent volunteers. I recently took the time to find out from some parents and players what ANZA Soccer means to them and why they look forward to their Saturday mornings at the pitches.

Andrew Lim, AGC for Group 3 (children born 2019) Ethan Lim, Little Lions player

Aya Mae Habgood, Little Lions player Aaryan Bhangu, Little Lions player and new joiner

I enjoy ANZA Soccer as it's an opportunity to network and meet other parents

I like going to soccer because I see my friends and play with my coaches!

I like to see my friends and kick goals

I love soccer because I've made new friends and I learn how to play better than Daddy

Our Little Lions run around and have fun at different times of the day, depending on their age group:

● Group 4 (born 2018): 8am - 9am ● Group 3 (born 2019): 9am - 10am ● Group 2 (born 2020): 10am - 11am (commencing January 2023) If you’re interested in checking out ANZA Little Lions or any ANZA Soccer teams, please register for a free trial or sign up via the ANZA Soccer website, anza.org.sg/soccer
