Soccer Scene IDE HERALD Wedsesday Page Mini soccer can improve an individuals skills The column is a little late this week in being handed in to the locals I had a busy time at work and a pleasant time at the Beaches Jazz Festival on Sunday afternoon and evening Very nice and restful away from a busy telephone Georgetown soccer club was one of the first clubs to introduce mini Alex Tough Sports Views soccer to their programs several years ago The idea behind mini is to reintroduce the individual skills to participants by using the ball more and more instead of line across the penalty area with one ball between or so players There can be no doubt that skills cannot be improved or event at tamed in the first place without access to a ball PJay with a ball more often and the fears of mistakes or being hurt upon con tact disappear Playing with a ball in team situations is much better in small groups Successful ball players honed their skills in fivea side scrimmages in bygone years One area where we may have gone astray is in the transition from the mini side to the full 11 a side with the corresponding change in playing regulations Another area is how we began our mim rules Instead of a cut down playing area we introduced a semi circle goal area that gives goalies a bet ter chance to clear the ball on goal kicks No and no attacking players allowed inside the goal area were some of the rules All too often in the old system play stayed at one end of the field players chased the ball all over the place except for the odd daisy chain maker on the far side I believe in the best of mini Players soon learn to adapt to the full side system although I believe we could have a better transition system Falcons met Brampton Eagles in a rare Monday night match at Cedarvale and came out on top The home team did not dress Terry Dixon Falcons began at top speed and surprised the Eagles with their enterprising play down both wings David Scida and Derek Oram the latter coming from midfield caused no end of bother Joey Clare opened the scoring early in the game with a clever move and the lads followed with another two quick goals From then on the visitors were allowed into the game and a second half penalty kick score underlined the danger It was quite like old times the main soccer own with i fair turn out of support for the locals I believe Brink Hole Derek Oram were the other scorers Howie Or was in tte midfielder through tht first df and pi ived lot deeper in the second half ikons eon solidated The Inter i little at the number of lUtmn and cards
