Soccer’s booming In the 10 and under class. Frank placed Richmond Hill’s Frank Bruhn showed impressive swimming versatility at a top “A” meet in Cam- bridge when he placed in a wide range of events against some top Ontario swimmers. The phenomenal growth of youth soccer across the country, and in fact all over North America, is typically portrayed by the ex- perience of the Thornhill Minor Soccer Club. In the spring of 1975 the Thornhill club was only getting on the drawing board. It began as a result of some interest having been shown in the possibility of boys in the area being able to play soccer locally rather than having to travel to surrounding communi- ties.. The Club was then born in 1975 with 12 teams (179 boys): Registration for the 1978 season is just completed and 656 young people, both boys and girls, are now being allocated to 42 teams. This registration (an approximately 25 per cent growth over 1977) was exactly as predicted by the executive which also knew that 40 to 42 teams Form soccer teams for boys in Concord The fast-growing in- terest in soccer among Canadians has reached Concorda There is a lot of en- thusiasm being shown by the boys and their coaches and managers with the result there are two teams in Concord, one for the boys in the 12 and 13-age group and the other for 9,10 and 11 year- olds. Concord Weed Control is sponsoring the 12 and 13-year-olds who will be kn0wn as the “Concord Robins" while three Vaughan businesses have indicated interest in Sponsoring the young boys team. A committee has been formed for the newly- founded soccer club and consists of John Vergura, Frank Ceolin, George and Julie Seemann, Bruno Colucci and Steven Kemp. The committee, helped by the Centre Committee members, have planned an evening to introduce their plans for the soccer club and to give all the The annual member's meeting of the Richmond Hill Hockey Association will be held in the lobby of the old arena (23) on Tuesday May 9,1978 at 7:30 pm.

Providing the present growth continues, and there’s no reason to suspect otherwise, ad- ditional soccer fields are essential. With this in mind club officials have already had preliminary discussions with Markham Parks and Recreation Department and indications are that the club’s needs for 1979 will be met. There would be nothing worse than having to turn a youngster away because we had nowhere for him to play,” comâ€" mented Club President Ben De Boer. “In spite of its fantastic growth the club is quite disappointed a large number of girls of all ages and boys in the 12-year- old and up range have not become involved in soccer as it considers that few summer sports equal it for physical fitness. “Older boys entering parents of chldren to meet one another and talk with the coaches and manager.

This is an impressive performance over dif- ferent distances and using a variety of strokes for a young swimmer at the work force is an 0!)- vious problem but it is certainly possible to do both and some physical outlet is desirable,” he said. SPONSORS As in previous years support from the local businesses has been very strong. Each of the three girls teams, 31 house league boys teams and eight competitive teams has been sponsored by the business community and the club is very ap- preciative of this support. COACHES During the snowy winter months the club held clinics for its coaches to help develop their coaching techniques. These were under the direction of the experienced and highly qualified Gord Barry. Coaching is another area where the club considers itself par- ticularly fortunate as 89 adults have indicated willingness to give their spare time to coaching teams. Upcoming events for club coaches are get togethers this Sunday in the pool gymnasium at Thornlea Secondary School and on May 15 in I'll tell you what's beautiful...not having to paint the soffit on your house forthe next twenty years...now that's beautiful.
