More girls play minor soccer Minor soccer in Exeter has opened the door allowing more girls to play Jason McFalls EXETER - Anyone who has fol- lowed Exeter minor soccer over the last few years will notice the sport has more girls participating now than ever before. The formation of girls teams has been the biggest change in minor soccer in recent years. It is a change for the better according to Exeter minor soccer President Bart DeVries who added girls teams were only started within the past five years. Before that time there was little choice for young girls wanting to play soccer. It was either join the boys teams or not play at all. Very few girls were willing to play under those circum- stances and minor soccer lost a lot of potential players. Fast forward to this summer and female soccer players have plenty of opportunities to play. There arc eight girls teams between the ages 10 and 18 com- pared with just six boys teams. "Our registration is at its highest point ever with over 300 kids play- ing soccer," said DeVries. "Girls make up almost half of that total," he adds. The interest in girls soccer orig- inated at the high school level in 1986 when South Huron District High School formed a girls team that attracted a number of eager players. Eventually two teams, a junior and a senior, were created to accommodate the growing interest. Juanita Chappel, a member of the under 19 girls team stated there arc many girls from the high school team that play minor soccer and have the chance to continue playing next summer on the Women's team. "I will tryout for the women's team and see if I make it," said Chappel. The Women's team called the Ex- eter Mudhens was formed last sum- mer by Cindy Moore with the aim to give young women a place to play after the minor soccer years are over. "Women used to have to travel to London if they wanted to play," said Moore. Moore, who also coaches the under 17 girls team, hopes the Mud - hens can attract more local players in the future as most of its current players are from outside the Exeter arca. Moore said creating girls teams is a positive step because it makes it easier for some girls who may not have wanted to join a boys team to play. "When I played minor soccer there were only a handful of girls from Exeter that would play soccer on the boys team," said Moore. Watching an under 11 girls game, one gets the feeling the girls are just happy to have the opportunity to play soccer and have full at the same time. According to DeVries, the main' goal of Minor soccer is exactly that; for the players to have fun. "seeing the kids cnjoy them- selves is what soccer is all about," said DeVries. This is one thing in soccer that has not changed over the years.

Martha Hook opened up the scor- ing early in the game by capitaliz- ing on a poor clear from the South End defence and chipped it over the goalie's head. Exeter had several chances to score but could not capitalize on any of their scoring opportunities until Heidi Mat -tin scored to give Exeter a 2-0 lead late in the first half. In the second half Cindy Moore dribbled through the defence and goalie and put the ball in the net. She repeated the same play for another goal giving Exeter a 4-0 lead. South End missed a chance to get on the board on a penalty shot in the second half. The ball hit the cross bar and Exeter goalie Kristen Crawford saved the rebound record- ing a shut out. This is Exeter's third win of the season and their next garne is at home Sunday night. In other female soccer action, the Exeter Under 17 girls soccer team defeated Strathroy last week.
