The tapes, a 60-minute volume aimed at young players and a 90-minute companion tape aimed at coaches, were both filmed on the North Shore using nine, 10, and tl-year-old North Shore boys and girls. Impetus behind the visual production, according to Waiters, sprung from a desire to put the techniques and basic know-how of his book, Coaching To Win, onto the screens of modern man’s chosen medium. “IT believe the greatest need for people who get in- volved in local soccer is basic knowledge of the game," Waiters says.

TONY WAITERS, coach of Canada's first national team to win a berth in World Cup com- petition, attended a North Vancouver coaches and management clinic at the Pegasus Ctubhouse recently.
