TRIBAL PROGRAM NEWS First Youth Soccer Camp a Success by Laura Littleton, Youth Center Summer Intern The Siletz Tribal Youth Center sponsored a week-long soccer camp for local youth in August. Youth partic ipants learned different skills consisting of passing, trapping, and teamwork. Sherri Groh, environmental planner, and myself served as instructors for 10 youth age 5 to 12. While we worked these kids hard, they had fun, and some discovered that they enjoyed playing soccer. At the end of each day, we allowed the kids to scrimmage. This time allowed each child to discover if he/she liked one position better than another. One partic ipant discovered that he liked to play the goalie position because he could use his hands. We hope to continue this camp next summer, with just as much fun. Daniel Regan reaches to block the ball.
