Fiji Pearls head coach Una Rokoura explained that one of the aim for the camp was to connect together as a team.
“We have concluded our camp last week, the objective around the camp is that we want to just connect together as a team in-terms of the place themselves and strengthened our team bonding especially the different areas of the of the court.”
“It was a very successful camp, we’ve wanted the girls to appreciate the small things, at the end of the week we saw big change, a big shift in terms of the connection and the bond between the players.”
“A few areas that we were focusing a lot is just making sure that we’re able to clean up our through court play in terms of attack.”
“Our sub unit groups have worked together as units in terms of the shooting, the mid-court and defenders is trying to strengthen the connection on court as well.”
“Having to come together last week and having to focus on these specific areas in training and having a training match against the Fijian men’s team on Saturday, we’ve seen a big shift in these areas in-terms of the components of our attacking play that we wanted to work with.”
