Soccer-iteedsp�4
• Soccer for young, boys between the ages of 8
and 15 could be -a big thing in Goderich if the
parents of the ,.-youngsters would get -behind it. "
and promote it, Kazirnierz' Budny .RN said this
• •- Budnytl says that about 210' Goderich' boys
have signed trp to play soccer this summer —
"and• that's 210 more boys off the streets at least
- two nights a week," says Budny.. ,
The following article was prepared for the
Signal -Star by Budny and is published in the
hope that more and more 'parents and "soccer
enthusiasts in the Town of Goderich will getout
to lend the kind of support which is required to
make the League really succeskful this summer.
"Two hundred 'and ten Goderich boys and
youths between the' ages of 8 and 15 are
struggling for identity as soccer plays; in "the
"Prettiest Town in•'Canada". The game provides
an outlet' for the needed activity of vigorous
growing children who are living within the limits
of cramped housing, small yards, remote
playgrounds and trafficafiiled streets.
"Some places settle the -problem by letting the,,;
children roam the streets, play in fhe 'a'"Ire"y's""' and—
run the risk of life and limb. Social clubs set up
programs that help in some ' of these congested
areas, but the needs are still unfulfilled.
"There are, few understanding men who
recognize the needs and. they try° to fill,sonie of
the unfulfillmehts. The soccer men of Goderich,
for instance, give up someof their time to train
our youngsters in the rules of playing soccer, a
- game of skill which is so similar to hockey.
"The object is to score goals using' your feet
and head. Hands are not allowed except for the
goal tender..
"The game of soccer is the No. 1 game in the
world and pulls the. biggest,. crowds in some
countries. The gate is sometimes more than
130,000!
"Canadian soccer has grown rapidly over the
last few years and good players of alljes are
desperately needed to represent our'' country in
world and Olympic,games.
"According , to some officials in Goderich
Soccer Association, we have at.least two players
who could reach' this standard of play today, but
unfortunately we do not have the support and
finances to send the boys to work out. •
"The last six games played by., our youh , ters
.• had a total suppdrt of approximately 15 ..ults.
There are some clubsand organizations in
Goderich who do help ,financially to buy soccer
balls and uniforms for, the players: What is
lacking most of all is parental and community
support when the boys are playing competition
games. They need somebody to cher them an,
"Now some -Professional advice as a registered"
nurse. I think that physically and
psychologically, any players of hoqey will
enrich their knowledge about a positional -type
game and at the same time will keep their muscle
system in good condition when they resume their
hockey games Met winter.
"I have heard some of the boys saying that'
they could beat their fathers 'or, mothers playing
against them.' What about it parents? Why don't
you come out and have some fun with your
youngsters and see if you can beat them, The
coaches will be only too glad to prepare you.
"In fact, I am askingg you to form a supporter
soccer club in Goderich. If you are interested,
-contact Sandy's Barber Shop. The membership
fee would be about one dollar per year."
