"The Kids' Soccer Book," an instructional instructional manual that both parents and children can enjoy, recently hit the shelves of bookstores across Canada and the United States. "It's not considered a technical manual,"stressed Humber from the porch of his home on Beech Avenue during a recent interview. "This book is meant to be an introduction introduction to the game and to offer kids a challenge, but at the same time to be fun and interesting.' ' The 64-page book includes game rules, casy-to-understand instructions instructions for skills development, color illustrations, and great practice games for both boys and girls.

Also, in 1988, Allan Abuto Nyanjong, of Kenya, juggled a soccer soccer ball for over 16 hours, using his feet, legs and head. Not once during this time did the ball touch the ground. Those arc just some of the samplings samplings that make this book interesting interesting not only for the kids, but for the parents as well, "The parents can learn as much about the game as the kids can," proclaimed Humber. Tony Waiters, a former Canadian World Cup and Olympic coach, was very impressed with the book. In a quote credited to him on the back cover, he notes: "This great little soccer book is full of fun and interesting information, 'litis is written written for children, but even I learned things about soccer I never knew before." before." The book is a follow-up in many ways to "The Baseball Book and Trophy" that 1 lumber wrote and released released last year. U too is an instructional instructional manual that allows kids to learn the game of baseball with their parents in nine easy steps. "It follows the same formula in many ways," he said of the similari-' ty between the baseball book and his new soccer book. The suggestion to do a soccer book was made three years ago, with hopes of taking advantage of the interest that would be created in the game because of the World Cup. There was also' a proposal to do a similar book for basketball, now that Toronto has been granted a pro franchise by the National Basketball Association. "I suspect that this (soccer book) will be it for this series," said Humber. Humber. He recalls being introduced to the game by his father while growing growing up in Toronto. In the late 1960's, along with his brother, they formed a soccer team dubbed the North Toronto Red Barons. In search of a league to play in, they found one in Scarborough that consisted of four teams. Four very good teams. "We discovered halfway through the year that it was a Jr. A league," he recalls with a laugh. As his father did for him, he has passed his love of the game on to his three children, and became involved involved as a coach in the late 1980's. The interaction that he enjoyed with his kids while helping them learn the game is carried over into the book. "It's meant for parents and children children to be able to work together. That's the philosophy behind this book." This release brings the number of books that Humber has had published published to six. Included are three about baseball, one on cycling, and another on the history of Central Public School. Not to rest on his laurels, he is currently in the process of writing two more books. One will trace the history of baseball in Canada, while the other is a collection of baseball essays. Both are scheduled to be released next year.
