By Ellen Jefferson
The third meeting of Wawanosh’s
A Sporting Chance was held at 7
p.m. on Aug. 22. The sport for the
meeting was soccer, so the members
met at the Auburn Missionary
Church soccer field.
Madison MacLean led the pledge,
then asked members to show the
warm-up or cool-down exercise they
found and which sport it was suited
for.
The members did some bookwork
that they missed at the last meeting
about coaching styles, and they
completed a quiz about which style
they thought they would try to be. All
were development or fun centered.
The members moved on to the
business part of the meeting. Maisy
Jefferson had designed a title page
with her exchange student, Hitomi,
but was uncertain on the name.
The members voted between
Positive Players and Powerful
Players. Powerful Players was
chosen.
Kristina Drennan requested that
her teaching team change their sport
from cricket to flag football so that
the members could have more time
to play and would have to spend less
time learning completely new skills.
All of the members agreed to this,
and to bringing two tea towels to use
as flags.
Mary Ellen Foran spoke about a
new award being offered by the
Huron Leaders Association. It is for
members who complete excellent
books, and it is being sponsored by
the Libro Credit Union.
Sophie Jefferson led the discussion
on first aid for the meeting. She split
the members into groups and gave
them all an injury to provide first-aid
for. The members presented their
skits and learned about how to
remedy the injuries covered in their
manual.
The teaching team, Scott Jefferson,
Kalvin VanMassenhoven, Charlene
Schramm and Garrit Logtenberg, led
everyone through passing, shooting,
throw in, and corner kick drills. The
members all improved their skills
before playing a game.
The Purpanators, coached by
Garrit beat the Shakers, which was
led by Charlene.
Following the game, the members
thanked the teaching team, and
closed the meeting with the 4-H
song.

Match held in Tuckersmith at the home of Bob and Carol Leeming. At the reins is Brian
