out of 30 in Ontario Its always been my dream to make it to and just to say I ve competed against Ontario best gymnasts Is an honor in Itself but I was really happy with ray placing says Roberta Roberta has never competed with a club but she began her sties career 11 years ago in recreation sl gymnastics I was monkey when I was little she says I was always doing tumbles in the back yard and I never sat still Mymomaawthatlhadabltof a talent but my parents push me Gymnastics was something that I wanted to do My parents always encouraged me in anything I wanted to do I like gymnastics because it one of the original sports You can create your own style and express yourself I con express myself best on floor It my favorite piece of apparatus I have confidence In myself and I m not as nervous as I am on bars or vault BIG INFLUENCE The 18yearold grade 13 student begin competing until she was eight and she start taking gymnastics seriously until six years ago The Olympics were a big Influ she says Seeing the professionals compete increased her interest In the sport I was In grade eight and I knew here was a high school team and I knew I wanted to be on it Although she admits she likes gymnastics because it an Individual sport In which she feels shea doing something for herself Roberta Is a very staunch team supporter Her grade ten season was slowed dawn when she suffered whiplash In a fall she took while practising She Injured her shoulder and elbow in another fall that same year which took her right out of competition We were trying for the team title that year so 1 stop practising No corresponding ref increase Following up on the goalie rule from last week begins this week The keeper Is considered to ha ve the ball under control once the ball Is held In the hand or hands and is not to be prevented from putting the ball back Into play The constraint begins when the goalie has control so defined When the goalie has taken up to steps the ball must bo released Into play The keeper may put the ball on the ground and play It further with the feet and on no account is allowed to pick the ball up again unless the ball is touched by another player Jills Meet Sunday

ball In the air and catch it or bounce it off the ground and catch it without penalty These moves are not considered to be releasing the Into play No longer may lbs keeper play around with the ball by rolling it out to edge of the penalty area under protection for example The basic concept is to prevent the goalie waiting time and holding up play keep the ball In all times and prevent goalies as well as outfield players wasting time The penalty for delays of the game by the goalie touching the ball with the bands after release without another player touching the ball first Is an Indirect free kick to the opposition If the keeper persists in the practice a caution may be Issued yellow card At mini level In the youth club referees are being instructed that this rule will not apply At other youth house league levels the Interpretation will not be very strict in the beginning At youth competitive the rule will be applied strictly as Is also the case at senior level RIGHT STEP Six of our local referees will be used by the Toronto and District league this year on a regular basis In the past we have only supplied on an emergency basis This la a step in the right direction for local officials A recent meeting of the Development committee for referees at Peel Halton stressed the shortage of officials In quantity and quality A large problem in Canada as a whole has been the growth of player numbers at a much faster rale than that of coaches and referees As the kids have flocked to sign up for soccer the concentration on game time understandable although a little shortsighted Ever increasing numbers of players gives us just that Increasing numbers There is no corresponding Increase in club administrators coaches and referees No quality no skill no knowledge of rules Certainly the kids However It Is not enough It Is not enough when there Is so much teaching to be done Teaching to develop there is nothing more frustrating to a young player attempting to try something and not knowing why it cannot be done Well meaning coaches are not the answer Would you send your child to a well meaning friend for a brain operation with the knowledge that your friend was not a qualified surgeon Would you send your child to school to be taught by an unqualified teacher You do with soccer The number of qualified coaches In our soccer In town is a mere handful The numbers of qualified referees is limited also Hence the moves by clubs and referee organizations to organize clinics and upgrade those who do qualify This year more than any other there more than Up service being paid to the problem FALCON SCHEDULE The Falcons open up their and schedule in the First division west on Monday 30 May against Halton Portuguese at 8 They follow up with two more borne matches on successive Mondays The reserves start with away games and will not be seen at until the last Monday In June Last minute drop outs from the Inter County leaves scheduler Baddy edema with wholesale changes to make to league schedules This season Butcher Bracken Acton Villa Meteors Blue and White and the Ancient Mariners make up the first division The Inter County season Is scheduled to commence the week of 10 May Most if not all house league drafts took place lost week Players should know by the end of the week which team they are placed on Competitive team coaches have yet again made several choices of player selection without the benefit of seeing their charges under outdoor conditions never mind games I believe It is unfair to say the least upon players and coaches to make cuts under these conditions Over the years we have attempted to without much satisfaction to rep or house league There Is little doubt in my mind that a healthy house league system Is necessary for the competlt teams to be competitive and healthy The same in reverse They need each other The time for The OS A constitution forbids It for beginners Examination of the meaning of competitive teams is required They are supposed to represent our club system against other They are supposed to be our best players and should be and are not They should be coached by our best and most competitive and qualified coaches and are not This is not to say that we do not have some good ones because we do The system however prevents all the best Do we really want our teams to compete against others If the answer is yes then we must ensure that the best is what represents us and even go out of our way to make sure It happens Half measures do not work We do place handicaps upon our selections of coaches and players which does more barm than good See you next week GEORGETOWN GEMINI JR B HOCKEY CLUB ANNUAL MEETING Wednesday May 11 at 30 p North Halton Golf Country Club EVERYONE WELCOME wuwii APRIL IS
