The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, May 20, 1998 Section Two Pace 7 Toros Treated to Canadiens Game by Webco Soccer Coaches Attend Clinic by Brad Kelly Staff Writer As registration numbers continue to soar for minor soccer in this area, there is a need to keep coaches informed of the latest trends and teaching methods. That need was addressed at a coaches' clinic held at the Hydro Fields Saturday, May 9. Free Clinic Close to 70 house league coaches with varying degrees of experience took advantage of the free clinic that was offered by the Premier Soccer Academy, and hosted by the Darlington Youth Soccer Club. The idea of the clinic was to help promote the game, as well as give coaches an opportunity to participate in the drills that they will pass on to their players in practices. "Some of.the coaches don't know how a player should plant his fool to kick a ball. This clinic helps break it down and explain the basics," said Jim Potter, who was one of the organizers of the three- hour session. The popularity of soccer among the area's youth is at an all-time high. Close to 2,200 kids will be playing soccer on fields throughout Clarington, which is an increase of over 400 from last year. In Bowmanville, registration numbers saw an increase of over 200 from a year ago. The Square Boy Major Novice A Toros travelled to their Montreal Tournament on Friday, April 3. They were proud recipients of the Silver Medalist Award on Sunday, April 5, at Les & Glaces Arena.

For the 3-0 win, defence- man Kyle Perry received the puck from Jeff Ward and Lucas Beech and fired it from the blueline. Goalie Andrew Fudge was the Player of the Game and Kyle Perry won the hockey poster. Knowing that the team would be going to the Montreal Canadiens game versus the Carolina Hurricanes at the Montreal Forum later that night, the Toros were thrilled that WEBCO, from Bowmanville, had provided their tickets. The adrenalin kept flowing through to the afternoon game against the West Carlcton Warriors. Derek Carrulhers played a fine game in net. Jason Cadwcll opened the scoring in the first period, Ryan Zavitz for the second goal in the second and Mike McLaughlin in the third. West Carlcton Warriors only scored once, with the Toros winning 3-1. Jason Cadwcll received the Player of The Game T- shirt for his never-ending dedication.

The Championship game of the Tournament was against the Carlcton Place Kings, on Sunday afternoon. Jason Cadwcll again opened the scoring on an assist from Ryan Zavitz. Then the Kings lied it up. Shortly after, Jason Cadwcll and Ryan Zavitz set up Lucas Beech for the go ahead goal. The second period period was a back and forth game with no goals scored. In the third period, the Toros tried to keep the 2-1 score but the Kings managed to tie the game with only 9 seconds left. This put the Toros and the Kings in an overtime position. With the game down to two players a side, the Kings scored for a 3-2 win. Jeff Ward was the player of the game. The Square Boy Major Novice Toros became the Silver Medalists of the Canadian Cup Tournament.

Your Feet Are "Gateways" to Your Knees, Hips and Back QUESTION: Telma, I am starting to get the idea that I should come and see you il I have Hat leet and let you examine my feet. I have enjoyed three articles on Hat feet. How do you mean that flat feet can cause a problem problem in my knees, my hips and my back? I do not quite understand that. Put down the newspaper newspaper and stand UP. Take your left foot, roll the arch in and keep it rolled. Now walk. Right away you'll feel a pull in your leg, either in your knee, hips or in your back. This is an example of how a flat foot affects your walk, and how your walk will, in turn, affect other areas of your body. A person with flat feet Is actually walking on his/her arches. Multiply this little demonstration by the number of steps a person person will take in life, and the picture for complications from flat feet becomes very clear. Everybody rolls in on their arches when they walk, but its only for an instant and only to transmit the weight from our heels to our toes for the push-off. Walking normally, the heel will strike and then we roll through the mid-foot, it flattens flattens for an instant, but when we push off again we should be pushing off with the toes. But a flat foot will cause the walker to push off the flattened arch. A strain on the knee results because the motion pulls on the knee. If left uncorrected, the muscles running from the knee to the hip are affected. Now hip pain may surface. If left uncorrected the pain may spread to the back and the body will try to compensate. compensate. Depending on the "solution" "solution" the body tries, neck pain and headaches could be just around the corner. Another possibility is that a flat foot will predispose the sufferer the heel and foot problem and we talked about that in the last article. Through writing about this condition, I hope I have made my readers more aware of the dangers of leaving it untreated. We learned that children can be helped and the good news is that physiotherapy will also help adults. Where the- foot is flattened flattened because the person is actually walking on their inside arch, but the arch remains in good condition,. orthotics are critical to support support that arch. Physiotherapy may also be needed, as a treatment before jumping into orthotics. Why? Orthotics will not correct the muscular imbalance imbalance that has caused the flat foot. The physiotherapist physiotherapist will examine the foot, your knees and your back and will emphasize muscles muscles that help to stabilize or correct the flatness of the foot. One of the most important sets of muscles in . this case are the PELVIC, the HIP, the BACK, and the ABDOMINAL muscles. muscles. By training those muscles muscles to be a little stronger, we can help support the hips, the back, the knees and ultimately the flat foot. If you have flat feet or knee, hip or back problems, book an appointment to see your physiotherapist.
