  • Street Soccer
    STREET SOCCER Street soccer, pick-up game, sandlot soccer or a kick-about whatever title you give to the format the idea is to give the game of soccer back to the players. Past generations learned to play the game on their own with other kids in the neighborhood or at school in these kid organized games. Today youth sports are overly adult controlled and influenced. It’s difficult today for youngsters to have a pick-up game since the streets have too many cars, the sandlot now has a mini- mall on it and parents are reluctant, with good cause, to let their child go blocks away from home on Saturday to play in a game on his or her own. Street soccer is a way for soccer clubs to give the game back to the players in the community. Once a week, or whatever frequency fits the circumstances the best, a club can have organized spontaneity. The club will provide the fields and supervision. Adults will be on site for safety and general supervision, but otherwise it is all up to the players to organize the games. The adults should NOT coach, cheer, criticize, referee or in any other way involve themselves in the game. The best bet for parents is to drop off their child, go run some errands, and then come back to pick up your child an hour or two latter. The coaches are on site NOT to coach, but to supervise, be on hand for any serious injuries and any severe discipline problems. Additionally the coaches are there to provide the game equipment and to let the players know when each game segment starts and stops.

    Boy Scout Troop 259 Church of St. Therese March 2009 Volume 4, Issue 1 Raven Knob Scout Reservation We will again have a large contingent going to summer camp. This year we will have 30 scouts and 15 adults going to Ravenknob in the mountains of North Carolina near Mt. Airy. A link to the leaders guide has been posted to the website. Please take a look at the merit badges that will be provided and be thinking of which ones you want to take. The merit badge signup is due by May 1st, and the most popular selections will be first come first serve. This is a great way for new scouts to get a jump start towards rank, and for those older scouts to get merit badges that they may not see at other venues—Archeology, Orienteering, Cinema- tography, Mountain Biking, etc. The schedule will permit scouts to take as many as 8 merit badges (though this would be a lot of work with little downtime). For the adults going, the leaders can get Climbing Instruc- tor Certification, Climb-on Safely, CPR, New Leader Essentials or Safe Swim instruction. As usual, we will be working on the Scoutmaster Merit Badge while we are there. No rest for the weary. On Saturday, February 7th between 8 and 10 am, our scouts served well over 250 pancakes and sau- sages at our Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser held at the Applebee's Restaurant on College Drive. Our final ticket sale total was 223 which meant that $810.16 went back into the individual accounts of the 22 scouts who sold tickets.

  • Class 7 (English) 4. Game on Sec. 1 Hop, Skip and Jump
    Class 7 (English) 4. Game On Sec. 1 Hop, Skip and Jump Summary:- This section is about a street game called Hopscotch in English. This game played on the streets is usually a simple playtime activity that children do in their neighbourhood. This game is played all over India and is known by many names such as stapu, ekhat-dukhat, kith-kith, kunte bille, paandi, tokkudu billa and khane. To play the game, the player draws a grid of 8 squares on the ground with numbers from 1 to 8. The player tosses a marker into the first square and hops till the eighth square. Here the player turns around and hops back till the second square to pick up the marker from the first square and steps out. The player again tosses the marker into the second square and the game continues until all the squares have been played. There are certain rules and variations that add to the fun and difficulty level of the game. A player is considered out if the marker does not land in the right square, touches the borders of the grid or if the player touches the borders accidentally. Hopscotch is not only played in India but it is also a popular game with different names across the world. It is known as laylay in Persian, escargot in French and himmel und holle in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. There is another version of this game called Number Hopscotch. Here there is no need of tossing a marker. All they need is to just keep hopping on one foot without stepping on the wrong square.
