Emphasis put on word team On a cold blustery Toronto evening as only Exhibition Stadium can have the Blizzard putted oft a last gasp victory over Tulsa In their home opener Juan Carlos Molina shot home a curler Into the top corner of the net wrong footing the visiting goalie only 11 seconds from the end of regulation The win gives the tads a record bo far and IE points of a maximum IB to lead the division A far cry from previous yean And welcome Indeed The even made the front of the sports page of a leading newspaper and that is also a or cry from previous years And welcome Indeed Almost 900 kids answered the calls of the youth soccer registrations and with the teams expected there are still a few a very few places to be filled There are several players in the gyms who have not registered and they find it difficult to register unless there are openings in their age group is strange how so many people do not know of registration dates CablelTVcarriedourdetailsfor several weeks normal and lata dates So also both our local newspapers and the Star not to mention radio and one other radio station Probably more advertising this year than any other and yet There Is the usual shortage of some coaches referees who has not yet come out of the woodwork is asked to contact someone in the youth movement in order to register EMPHASIS ON TEAM Last week I commented upon the absentee players and officials To continue folks Some appear In the first month disappear for a couple of months and return for the closing weeks of the season These are absentees In book even though we may know they ore at the It is not easy for a coach and manager to develop team knowing that half arc going to be missing in fact it is downright Impossible The whole emphasis is on the word team Those who arc missing let the team down and themselves down and create 111 feeling whether they are good players or not There is a loss of enthusiasm within the squad and the bad apple syndrome can result and we lose good attitude kids Sometimes the missing ore involved in more than one activity Often both activity groups lose out in the numbers actually taking part There are divided loyalties to take care of which one do I go to in a clash of fixture Far better not to be In that situation In the first place eh This brings me to quality versus quantity Having huge numbers very well for statistics and records and have their place However the growth of a sport is not always a numbers game Large numbers arc not easy to control when the controllers arc few and though dedicated find their personal resources spread thinly in the I do wonder if having less participants and having those less would they be of a higher quality From the experience of the past few years no It appears thai the percentage of top personnel remains the same with small as well as large NO ANSWER I have no answer to the situation Perhaps we should retain the willing and then who Is to decide that Perhaps weshould turn away the constant absentee the following year and who will keep lam not referring to the less skillful In this dialogue I am referring to those who are for the ride so to speak There has to be room for the nonskillful and willing individual who tries their best no matter what and is always there when should be This week the youth arc holding the house league drafts and thanks go to for assistance In providing premises for one of the nights 1 believe that one of the drafts will be next Monday or Tuesday If a player or parent does not hear by the May from a team
