PRACTICING PENALTY KICKS ON THE SOCCER PITCH SOCCER The soccer program at Ken-Mont this season has been extremely successful. Not only has there been an improvement in skill and ability, but also, and even more important, a growing knowledge .and love for the game. The campers have often gone out of their way to express pleasure and satis- faction they have derived from the game, this surely .augers well for the future. In the lower camp the main aim of the program has been to teach a basic appreciation of positional play, and also techniques of ball control. The campers have responded well in this, and conse- quently have come to enjoy the game muCh IUOTC- In the upper camp the more physically mature -campers were able to master the techniques and skills more quickly. So time was devoted to coach- ing moves or plays and a greater understanding of team-work. Beginning with the youngest group, the Blue Jays learned to use their feet well, and by starting this young, they will not encounter later the dilii- culties that some boys have if they begl-T1 to Play soccer at an older age. I J ......-.::.:!'e' i.. i N, .. -- - - ---M -- The same applies to the Sparrows, although here individual talent is beginning to emerge with ERIC SILVERMAN leading the group. In the Robins group a real sense of how to play the game has grown through the season, as their fine victories over Camps Kenico and Lennox indicated. Special mention should be made of SCOTT WEBER PAUL and JAY KRAMER, JONNY BLANK, JON SCHOTTLAND, CORY SCHIFFMAN and LOREN KLEINMAN, who have played extremely well all summer. The Falcons, along with the next group, the Cardinals, showed themselves to be the best soccer players considering their age, in the entire camp. DREW HOLDER was the outstanding player for the Falcons, but he also had fine support from BRAD SINGER, LARRY MAYER, JOSH DOUGLASS, CHUCK MERINOFF, JOHN SHEVELL, BILLY BLANK, RICKY EAGLE, BOBBY MANDEL, and MIKE ROSEN. During the summer these and many other campers in the group gained a real appreciation of positioned play. The Cardinals perhaps, gave the greatest satisfac- -w-J...,-.:L1::,- 5, I ' 1-, ' ..gr:'i-4--A . . A -YQA 4.f....... ,- ,gg ., -

Robin Hood spirit and tradition was maintained especially in the middle and lower divisions of Camp. Although there was not any inter-camp competition, Ken-Mont would 'fi , v A .. ' 1 have certainly ranked high among the camps. Requiring great concentration and many hours of practice, a number of boys succeeded in gaining recognition from the Camp Archery Association CAMP A.RCHERY ASSOCIATION AWARDS W 5 ? ?iWii'-rgg . ,C tx A, v-...- A , - U Y v U Jr. Yeoman Pin C60 pts.r- 15 yds.D Jon Liebman I Mike Reinert Jr. Yeoman Arrow C80 pts. - 15 yds.j Jon Katz Larry Copeland Yeoman Pin or Brassard C100 pvts. - 15 yds.J Loren Kleinman Brad Singer I on Shevell Cary Wische Billy Flaxman Jr. Bowman Pin C60 pts. - 20 yds.D Stan Marcus 'x Jr. Bowman Arrow C80 pts. - 20 yds.j Keith Rosenfeld Billy Blank Jay Goodgold Bowman Pin C100 pts. - 20 yds.

This group pf0- vided many fine and exciting games of soccer of a standard equal to that of their equivalents in socceris Mother Country, England. In fact, several indi- viduals, BOB REIGER, JOHN ROSS, RICHIE ROSENBERG, STEVE SCHIFFMAN, SCOTT COOPER, GARY ROTTMAN, MIKE MOORIN and BOBBY ENT IN and several others, would easily win a place on an English school eleven of their age group. In ANDREW HOLDER and BOB REIGER these two groups provided the finest two soccer players for their age in the camp. In the Upper Camp, the Hawks have learned many A good tactical lessons which has improved team performances. The stars of intercamp and inter-gro-up games were GARY SINGER, JOHN TUMEN, KEN LEIBOWITZ, ROGER KAHN, KEN FELLER and ANDY MAYER. The Condors did not patronize the soccer field as much as most other groups during the summer. However, they have emerging players of no little ability in DAVE HUTNER, a Hne goalie, MARC CORON, a dependable Hfull-back, OSCAR REICHER, a stopper centre half, and TEDDY MAYER., a tricky and effective forward, especially alongside LEE TUNIS. In the Eagle - Dodo Division there has been great keenness and interest this year resulting in some fine games. The dramatic comeback victory over Camp Berkshire was a great achievement in which BOB STEINWURTZEL, BILLY COHEN and RICK KANE were outstanding. Ken-Mont is going to be formidable opposition for any Seeeer team at these levels for quite a few years to C0me. All in all, this has been a year of great progress and improvement which has consolidated the status of soccer in the camp and the ability of campers in this sport. Ken-Mont is in that happy position of being able to look forward to a Hne future of soccer playing for many years to come. VOLLEYBALL With the addition of two new all-weather courts, volleyball was greeted with new enthusiasm last summer. Featuring excellent drainage, games were played within minutes after the last drop of rain fell. Although a regularly scheduled activity for Lower Camp, some well played, highly Spirited games were played among the senior campers during free periods. ,.-Y-v-.....m::v ...-tmrzr-v-gvr-rn.-r'-xv. , ..gnuannrwzy-gwxrynnxrvvr-.vnu-,537-...,-Tr., ,,,,, - -V - '1n.. ..1.'--.....,.:-vxzyqgg-Hanna? -mn N
