Team-Uni will have a booth at the Amore Women’s Day Out 2010 happening at the area outside Ngee Ann City Civic Plaza on 6 March from 9am – 8pm. We’ll have unicycles around for try-outs as well if you’re still on the fence about whether you want to buy a unicycle.
Other cool happenings include
- Remember those Unicycle Hockey classes? Sign up with a friend there and get $20 off each unicycle purchase.
- Can you already ride a unicycle? Join us for a round of unicycle jousting – happens at 12noon and again at 4pm. Prizes to be given out. If no one’s jousting when you drop by, badger us and we’ll be glad to poke you with a stick.
Hope to be seeing you around!

Unicycle Hockey Youth Team

Ready to be part of the first kids’ unicycle hockey team in Singapore?
Think of unicycle hockey as a cross between ice hockey sans the punch-outs and Quidditch. It keeps you fit, hones your unicycling skills and most of all, is fun. The game is played at both regional and international levels at the Asia-Pacific Unicycle Competition and the Unicycle World Championships and we want to start local competitions.
If you are between the ages of 9-15 and want a totally unique sport you can rave to friends about, join us every Saturday morning!
Time:
9am – 10:30am, Saturday mornings starting 3 April 2010 or when we fill 8 slots.
Where:
Tampines Millenium Court.It’s a 5 minute walk away from Tampines MRT station. More directions here.
Fees:
If you own a Qu-Ax unicycle, $80 per month
Otherwise, $100 a month
What You Will Learn:
- Skill Level 1 International Unicycling Federation (IUF) Certification
- Skill Level 2 International Unicycling Federation (IUF) Certification
- Unicycle Hockey Basic Skills
- Playing unicycle hockey as a team
- Crossover skills that form the foundation for learning unicycle freestyle
Curriculum:
Students will be expected to pass the IUF Skill Level 1 standard before we will move on to basic hockey skills. We will be conducting the tests at the end of every month and this is included as part of the class.
For students with no prior experience, mastery of Skill Level 2 can take up to 2 additional months depending on the amount of practise. In between drills for the relevant skills, we will also be teaching basic hockey moves to equip them with the know-how to play the sport. Certification for Skill Level 2 will be a bi-monthly affair.
Each class will include drills and mostly short matches where students can expect to improve their unicycling ability as well as their proficiency in unicycle hockey.
We hope to be fielding a team to the next Asia-Pacific Unicycle Games and the next Unicycle World Championships (UNICON) that’d be held in Italy in 2012.

Quick FAQ
What do I need to bring?
We will provide all equipment needed but if you wish to use your own, here’s what we’ll be using
- Helmet
- Kneeguards
- Shinguards (optional if you’d like to bring)
- Unicycle
- Ice hockey stick
What prerequisites are there?
Knowing how to ride a bike is a plus. If you don’t, no worries, you’ll just need slightly longer to get used to a unicycle!
Would I be playing unicycle hockey immediately?
No you won’t, unfortunately. If you can already unicycle, we’ll spend a few weeks on drills and basic skills before you’re ready for your first match. If you can’t unicycle, you’ll probably need 2-3 months to learn to ride and to master the basic skills before you’re ready.
Is this dangerous?
Like every other sport, you can expect to take the occasional tumble. We’ll be requesting for all students to have on safety gear to minimalize this risk but don’t worry, if you obey the rules, it is a pretty safe game.

Team-Uni is looking at organizing a a FREE beginners unicycle session sometime towards the end of this month (that’s Oct) or early next. Details are not confirmed yet but we ‘d like to get a feel of attendance. If we do have such a session, will you be interested? It would be great if you could take some time to answer
the following as well -
Location Preference? North/South/East/West/Central
Do you own a unicycle?
Time/Day Preference? Weekday Evenings / Weekend Mornings (and which days)
All will be welcome – we’ve got some unicycles around if you haven’t got one. Bring your friends, kids and your kids’ friends along. Preferably tell me the age groups to expect so I can bring down appropriate unicycles. Please do pass the message down to any friends who’d be interested. The session’s currently first-come-first-serve since we can only cater to that many people in one location. However we might have a series of location-specific sessions if there’s a demand.

Cross Frame Upgrades
October 10th, 2009 • New Products
Tags: Cross, cross frame, unicycle hockey, unicycles, unique sport
This year’s Cross unicycles have undergone a frame upgrade.
<– Old frame
The new frame comes with a flat crown which reduces the likelihood of your hitting the inside of your knees onto them and also comes with brake mounts if you decide to move into serious downhill riding. They also feel lighter too which has to be a good thing. While you’ll probably not hit your knees at all after the initial week or two of riding, the selling point for me really, is that the setup looks more aesthetically-pleasing now and dare I say more classy than the previous frame.
Personally, what I like most are the new brake mounts. It saves the hassle of fixing them separately.

One-Day Workshops
July 9th, 2009 • Uncategorized
Tags: bicycle, holiday programs, sports education, sports programs, unicycle hockey, unique sport
The One-Day Workshop is meant to be an introduction to unicycling and to allow youths to try out a unique sport that they might be interested to pursue.
Recommended for:
Ages 13 and over.
Prerequisites:
Students should be able to ride a bicycle.
Group Size:
15-20
Duration:
4 hours
Notes -
It is unrealistic to expect to learn to unicycle well in a day; few if any will actually be able to ride forward unassisted at the end of the workshop. This is a great course though, for schools that are trying to introduce some variety to their sports programs.
