Problems with soccer

in professional ranks

level game conditions.

If Canadian professional
soccer is to re-estadlish
itself, its local grassroots
seed must be firmly sown,
according to Waiters.

“Really, though, 1 think
participation in the lower
levels of local soccer has
always been good. The pro-
blems have been in the pro-
fessional ranks."’

Admitting: to mixed feel-
ings over the attempted
revival of the Whitecaps
through ‘public donation,
Waiters says the days of

HALLO

team owners bankrolling
soccer operations have, for
the time being, disappeared.

COMMUNITY CLUBS ;

“Clubs have to be com-
munity-based and run on the
level of Triple AAA
baseball. It is just not real-
istic for a team to expect to
survive .on gate receipts
alone."

Waiters adds that a Cana-
dian professional league
without north-south com-
petition, providing it sticks
to modest financial

‘

overheads, is a viable con-
cept.

While Canada’s first-ever
qualification for World Cup
soccer competition is bound
to spark increased national
interest in the sport, Waiters
says the national team, thus
far facing a $400,000 deficit
on the $1.7 million budget
needed to finance its trip to
Mexico in 1986, must do
something in the competition
for the qualification to be
any kind of success,

Waiters says he expects
Winning Soccer to be
available by mid-November.
