By Brad Kelly Volunteers are Needed For Volleyball Nationals Not unlike the commercials for the Canadian Armed Forces, volleyball volleyball mogul Dave Dobson is in need of a few good men and women. Actually, he needs quite a few of them. Dobson and his organizing committee are in the midst of putting together together the Juvenile National Club Volleyball Championships for boys and girls to be,held May 6th through 9th in Oshawa. With slightly over 10 weeks to go before months of preparation come together, the committee committee has stretched its volunteer help to the maximum. They need some help. About 40-50 people willing to commit some of their time would be just dandy. "It's the first time our organization has embarked on something like this, and I really think that it will help to promote volleyball in this area," said Dobson. "We had to fight hard to get the bid, so we really want to put on a great show." The organization Dobson is referring to is Region 4, which encom passes an area from Belleville to Bancroft, and Peterborough to Scarborough. Scarborough. After all of the applications to host the National Championships were submitted, the choice was narrowed down to Region 4 and Region 6, which is the Kingston area. Region 4 got the nod. The Championships, which will bring the best 16 and 17-year-old vol Icyball players in the country to the area, will be held at seven different venues in Oshawa, including Durham College, Kingsway College, Done- van, Eastdale, O'Neill, Anderson and G.L. Roberts. With that many sites being used, the need for a high number of volunteers volunteers is obvious. Specifically, volunteers are needed to act as hosts for the various provincial teams, help set up the facilities, work on putting together together a program, set schedules, and be available at each site to answer any questions those attending may have. There is also a need for some corporate sponsors to come forward to help out in a number of areas, including food and beverages, awards, and social entertainment. There isn't a lot of funding coming from the offices of the Ontario Volleyball Association. "We are supposed to try and operate this tournament on a budget that does not exist," said Dobson, who is a student services teacher at Clarke High.School. In previous years, he has co-ordinated the Canadian College Championships, Championships, arid the OFSAA High School Championships while at Anderson Collegiate in Whitby. The Juvenile Championships mark the first time in six years that Ontario Ontario will be hosting a National Volleyball Championship. And there is a possibility that a local team, the Ganaraska boys' team, could qualify. The provincial championships are slated for April, and the champion of that tournament will receive a bye into the Nationals. In all, the weekend will provide a great deal of excitement. What more exciting way to be involved than by being regarded as one of the many who helped to bring it all together? If you're interested in helping in any capacity, contact Dave Dobson at Clarke High School, 987-4416. Nine Races for Goodyear Challenge Cup The direction of stock car racing in the Province of Ontario took on a new heading when it was announced on Friday, February 19, that the Amcri- can-Canadian Tour (ACT) will sanction sanction a series of nine stock car facing events which will comprise the 1993 Goodyear Challenge Cup. Drivers in the top weekly division at the four tracks which includes Flamboro Speedway (Hamilton), Mosport International Speedway (Bowmanvillc), Saublc Speedway (Saublc Beach) and Sunset Speedway (Stroud) will be eligible to run for the Goodyear Challenge Cup. Points will be issued toward the championship to competitors in the eight designated races at the four ve nues. Each track will host a pair of races, while Cayuga Speedway in Nelles Comers, a five-eighths mile oval, will have a single event. One of the unique components of the Goodyear 'Challenge Cup and its races is that the events will not conflict conflict with each venue's regular Saturday Saturday night programs. Instead, special point counting meets will be held on selected off-dates to ensure that all interested interested drivers can race for the Goodyear Goodyear title and its bonus monies. . The Ontario tracks join a weekly expansion program of sanctioning by ACT. which includes tracks located in the states of Maine, Vermont, New York and now Ontario.

Working with goaltenders Are you guilty of neglecting your goaltenders during practices and games? Do you understand their special needs and skills? All successful hockey teams have good goaltcnding, A coach who understands the position can help goaltenders develop the essential skills and attributes required to be effective. Consider these suggestions for practices: * before goaltenders participate in any vigorous activities, make sure they complete a proper warm-up of stretching and flexibility exercises. * use drills to help goaltenders develop proper basic stance, positional play, shot stopping and puckhandling skills. * ensure goaltenders become strong skaters by including them in team skating drills and using goaltcnder specific drills. * protect your goaltenders by allowing them to face a variety of off-speed shots before heavy shooting begins, prohibiting head-high shots and making sure they don't become fatigued during shooting drills. * help them develop the following attributes: concentration, self-confidence, good attitude, work ethics, self-motivation, intelligence and aggressiveness. Consider these tips to help your goaltenders during games: * the pre-game warm-up should by systematic and methodical: it is not a time for players to score, but to bolster the goaltender's confidence. * you and your players should give your goaltcnder encouragement whenever possible and all comments and instructions should be positive. * encourage your goaltenders to direct traffic and communicate with teammates when the puck is in your end. * teach goaltenders the keys to performance success: concentration, preparation, relaxation and anticipation.
