Huron .Minor Soccer
hold general meet
ip obtaining Ms services by a
$15,000 grant which the
O'Keefe Brewing Company
made to the Association for
soccer coaching programs,
On November 8th, in Ottawa,
he conducted a coaching
session direct at minor soccer
coaches. An excerpt from his
lecture is vital importance to
all coaches of all boys and girls
in all sports,
The first part of the lecture
stressed the importance of
technique and skill in soccer,
and emphasized the need to
coach during the early years.
Then the role of competition
was considered and it was here
that Dettmar Cramer delivered
a vital message:
"Boys have to play com-
petition too, junior leagues,
minor leagues, and inter-school
games. But please, let us be
honest. Many of us are already
over-emphasizing victory. In
the U.S.A. last summer, I had
to watch a new minor league
development. This example
will tell you what I am talking
about.
The man in charge wanted to
give me some impressions as to
where, they were in their stan-
dard of play, the number of
players, organization and ad-
ministration. They organized a
Saturday afternoon minor com-
petition for boys under ten; six
teams.
I had such fine memories of
my childhood when I saw the
parents come to the grounds
with their lunch baskets,
drinks, and so on, It was quite
a family atmosphere - until the
matches started! Then the
coach of one team started mar-
ching up and down one
sideline.
The coach of the other team,
wisely enough, walked up and
down the other sideline! Then,
they started shouting, "Get
him, hit him. Get that big boy,
hit him." You can picture those
beautiful children who are so
shy, and the coach is so big,
and he has such a very loud
voice, Now he shouts, "Hustle,
hustle, chase that ball."
You see, boys of that age
want to have fun first, but we
adults have quite a different
opinion about life and about
the important things of life. For

A general meeting for all
club representatives of the
Huron Minor Soccer
Association was held last Sun-
day at the Community Centre
in Clinton, •
Two elections were carried
out; that of third Vice-
President Roy Harris of Grand
Bend and fourth Vice-
President Tony James of
Huron Park. This enables all
participating communities to be
represented at the H,M,S.A.
monthly meetings.
The Association since kick-
off on June 2, has played about
158 games in five age groups in-
volving approximately 700
youngsters and many parents.
Even many of the wives have
been more than happy to
assume duties both on the field
in assistant coaching capacities
and off the field in organizing
jobs.
According to secretary Kaz
Budny, "the league is about 80
percent successful" Kaz went
on to say however that he was
disappointed with the dropout
of the Goderich Squirts "B"
team because of the shortage of
coaches. The players on the
team are no doubt also disap-
pointed.
Another dropout is the
Exeter Bantam entry but it is
hoped that the Brookside Ban-
tams from Ashfield Twp. will
take their place.
There 'have been a couple
protests of late of the eligibility
of certain players on one of the
Goderich teams. Secretary Kaz
Budny has been very upset by
these protests. According to
him, "a couple of the coaches in
the league think some of our
Goderich boys are older just
becaifse they outplay them
because of their mastery of the
basic soccer skills. The coaches
have even refused to believe the
layers birth certificates in
ome cases."
Mr. Budny is very concerned
bout the coaches attitudes to
he game. Following is an an
icle which' appeared in the
anadian Soccer Association
agazine which stresses that a
oy is not a little adult.
Dettmar Cramer, the FIFA
oach, conducted a series
purse in Canada during
overnber and December 1972.-
that we want them to ,
WITHOUT TAKING TIME
TO UNDERSTAND THEIR
MENTALITY-
Let us organize leagues, let
us play competitions, but do
not let us overemphasize vic-
tory. Play is more important
than victory, and skill is also
more important than fitness for
this age group.
A little boy is more er less fit,
and what we have to give him
initially is technique, and
secondly, skill and everything
else comes later,
We must remember to build
gradually, .4N. BOY OF TEN IS
NOT A LITTLE ADULT. At
this stage of development, at
the age of ten, a boy is ready to
be introduced to skill activities,
He is a perfect human being of
ten years. His way of thinking,
his way of seeing things, is dif-
ferent from the adult way of
seeing things and, therefore, we
must not judge boys with our
adult concepts.
Their opinions about the
things of life are different from
ours, and we must recognize
this fact."
The C.S.A. Editor's note and
my own observation of the
game of soccer in our Atoms
group is the same. The example
used, in Mr. Cramer's
philosophy above, of the in-
cident at a minor soccer game
in the U.S.A. I'm sure you have
seen duplicated at minor soccer
games in Canada, all over the
world, and now locally.

Colts were in complete com-
mand of the contest as they
battered Arva pitching for 17
hits en route to a 17-2 bombar-
dment. The big blows for Clin-
ton were two tremendous home
runs hit by Stew Mustard and
Ed Daer. Both homers

ititings. On the six innings that
Daer pitched he struck out 11
Angel batters. It was Daer's

foot homer over the left field
fence. Butch also gathered 2

whole game but pulled up their
socks in the ninth inning as
they got five runs across the
plate.
The Juveniles out played
Port Elgin as Clinton got 12
hits to their 6. It shows that the
juveniles still aren't hitting up
to their potential because of the
fact they left 13 men on base.
