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 e.-eEnneAoveanada avtire,it"= iiation of the Canadian Soccer tant than to win the match. We ssociation who were assisted direct them to do something 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.
