On March 4, 2011, NPCC Unit Recreational Activity (URA) was held. URA is an event held every year for cadets to have fun and to promote bonds between the levels. This year, we planned to play 3 games for URA, namely ultimate frisbee, handball and dodgeball. However, it rained during the first few hours, so we decided to watch a movie while waiting for the rain to stop. After the movie, we split the cadets up into 12 groups and proceeded to play dodgeball and handball. Points were given accordingly to each team after each match to determine a winner. Following that was prize presentation; each team were given prized depending on their points. Last was birthday celebrations and cheering.
As we were sec 3s, most in my squad were involved in URA in one way or another. Being in Operations Department, I was part of the OT for URA. I feel that this year’s URA was a success, with an exception of a few areas that can be improved. For example, some of the stationmasters were not very clear about the rules of the game and thus there was some confusion when the teams switched games. Some also had less chances of playing as only one substitution was allowed per game. However, I feel that URA was successful overall as all of us had fun and enjoyed the day. =)
