After the disasters during the production of the last couple of BATOD Magazines this time things have been progressing smoothly. A new all-singing and dancing computer with almost as much brain-power as the average human being and a screen large enough to read WITHOUT the reading specs has ensured a less stressful run up to the January Magazine. Support from the RNID to enable BATOD to disseminate information effectively and help Teachers of the Deaf has been gratefully received. I must offer a special Thank You to Elizabeth Andrews who facilitated this co-operation. Team-work and co-operation have been emphasised recently as organisations have begun seriously to appreciate the benefits of a united front. The BATOD / VIEW conference in Birmingham was a popular venue for both ToDs and ToVIs and to emphasise the working together mood a joint submission was made to Front Cover STRB in the annual round of talks on pay and conditions. There are several Shauna Flannigan and projects in hand where ToD Training Providers (the various University Christopher Probert Departments) are working together to research educational progress and ideas, prepare for the nativity in seek out good practice, and develop assessments (particularly BSL), encouraged the nursery, Royal School by the RNID and supported by BATOD. for the Deaf Derby On the home front the NEC committees are working hard to provide members with information, make responses to DfEE and government papers and generally speak out for Teachers of the Deaf. Our BATOD Noticeboards encourage delegates at conferences to ‘Be Part of the Team’ and gradually there are editorial teams working for the Magazine. It is important though, to stress that every member of BATOD is ‘part of the team’. If everyone does a little to contribute then BATOD can achieve a lot. Each Region and the National Executive Council needs the support of members. Please give consideration to offering your help. Sharing information is the start.... you will find an old friend included with this Magazine mailing ‘Off the back of an envelope’. Please spare a few minutes to write (or scribble, or E- mail) your literacy or numeracy hour tricks and tips, send a photograph or tell us what you are doing. The Magazine will then continue to provide you with what everyone says they need: ideas, networking and information. Phoning BATOD Magazine, Publications & Advertising?

We had intended to also print the Group Directory but the magazine would have been even larger (this one is the largest we have ever produced - do not expect them all to be this size!). The Group Directory will appear in the April issue. Both directories will form the basis of a new information booklet that The Kite Society is producing prior to the season starting.

    !JA Newsletter VoL 32 No. 2 Bttaclttt’tttf February 1980 INTERNATIONAL JUGGLERS ASSOCIATION Former IJA President prevails over Kremo, Schweitzer Franco wins circus championships By Lindsay Leslie Newport-on-Tay, Scotland The video tape of the 1979 Circus World Championships, taped on November 30, was shown on British TV on January 10. It was a big night for circus fans throughout the country, and captured the largest TV audience of the day. The one- hour show covered 10 circus acts and all finalists in the jug gling, trick riding, trampoline and trapeze categories. Two celebrities and three European circus directors judged the competition, awarding a maximum of 10 points for presen tation and 10 points for content, making a maximum score of 100 for each act. The juggling results were: First place-Dick Franco (USA), 95 points. Second place-Kris Kremo (Switzerland), 91 points Third place-Rudi Schweitzer (Germany), 89 points. The TV show was spectacular, entertaining and very, very exciting. One could fee! the atmosphere and pressure on the artistes, who could only hope to be in top form for this mp'' very special performance. It was noticeable that only the juggling competition featured solo artistes. This pronounced the fact, I'm sure, that juggling was the most artistic and individual circus act of the night. Here is a brief outline of each juggler’s performance. Kris Kremo was on first, with a clever routine using only one Bowier hat, showing off his personality and stage craft to the full since there was only one prop to distract the audi ence from the performer.

  • U10 and the U12 Youth Module
    INTRODUCTION The purpose of this activity guidebook is to give you the youth coach, an idea of what should be covered throughout the typical season. The activities reflect the philosophy of the original US Youth Soccer Parent/Coach Primer. Sessions focus on development in a low-stress, fun-filled environment giving you an organized structure to apply to the particular needs of your team. You will be able to create your own sessions once you understand the essential ingredients. Each practice session has four main areas: 1. Warm-up: Emphasis on preparing the player both physically and mentally for the training session. General motor ability (i.e., balance, coordination and flexibility) should also be enhanced. All of the above should be followed by stretching of the various parts of the body. Young players don’t need stretching, but it’s a good habit for them to begin early. 2. Individual Activities: This portion will cover fun-filled methods that can improve a young player’s technique in a playing, non-drill manner. 3. Small Group Activities: These games will challenge the player (without the pressure of high numbers) to improve a variety of the needed skills. It also gives players the opportunity to touch the ball more often. 4. Large Group Activities: This time will be used to familiarize the player with the different aspects of playing in a match situation. Each section should last between 10 to 15 minutes (take rest when needed). All activities should start with a brief demonstration, followed by the players moving quickly into activities.
