MAY lOth See next week’s liberal for further details (Photo by Hogg; By Ivy Reeve A Thornhill minor soccer league was their goal. And they got it. About five weeks ago, Margaret MacDonald wanted to register her six- yearold son, Kevin, in a soccer league. Realizing that if Kevin wanted to play this game, he would have to be registered in the Markham league. Mrs. MacDonald and Elaine McInnis decided that Thornhill boys should have a league of their own. They conducted an in- formal survey among friends in Thornhill, and, says Mrs. McInnis. the response was “absolutely affirmative." After their plan had been approved by the parks and recreation board, they felt the next step was to notify area residents of the proposed league. With the permission of the board of education, Mrs. MacDonald and Mrs. McInnis sent leaflets to every public school in the area. Enthusiasm Their enthusiasm and efficiency paid off. The league, says Mrs. MacDonald, has “grown much larger and much faster than we imagined it could.“ More than 200 persons attended a meeting April 21 at Thornlea Secondary School. Before the meeting was over. the Thornhill Minor Soccer Club had been officially formed, and an executive had been elected. The league will be broken down into three divisions, each comprising four teams. There will be a division for players six, seven and eight years old; one for nine and ten year olds, and a third division for 11, 12 and 13 year olds, based on the boys’ ages as of January 1, 1975. “We would'have had more teams if fields had been available," Mrs. McInnis says.
