Growth has been at all age levels, with four teams of squirts (6-8 year olds),, three atom teams (9-11 year olds), two mosquito teams (12-13 year olds), and a bantam team. Wingham Minor Soccer has grown from the smallest in the North Huron Soccer League to the second largest. Other members of the league include Lucknow, Blyth, Goderich, and Clinton. Growth has also been noted in each of the other centres. `Growth is due in part to the pos- itive exposure soccer had with the World Cup in the United States last summer, and the negative im- age of professional baseball with the players and umpires still with- out a contract. Also adding to, its increased popularity is the sim- plicity of the game itself, and the low cost of equipment The North Huron League em - I •: phasizes the full participation of all players during all games. , Wingham Minor .Soccer offi- cials are grateful for the continued support of the Wingham Optimist Club.
