oummer cernp By STEPHANIE GRAHAM The Rainbow Soccer Camp will begin its ninth season on July 12 and wi!l bring over 800 aspiring players to Chapel Hill during its three one-week sessions. The camp, which was founded and is di rected by Rainbow President Kip Ward, has become one of the largest and most presti gious programs in the country. Campers from as far away as Mexico, Missouri and Massa chusetts will attend this summer. Ward says, however, that two-thirds of his students come from North Carolina with many more coming from surrounding states, and he acknowledges that this is one of the program's goals. "We have been trying for nine years to educate the people of North Carolina and the South about the sport of soccer," Ward said. "We feel Chapel Hill is a great place to do it because this city has become a mecca of soccer." Ward attributed Chapel Hill's interest in the sport to the work of Dr. Marvin Allen, the longtime UNC soccer coach who first estab lished the sport at Carolina in 1946 and was head of the Physical Education Department until his retirement last year. Ward and Anson Dorrance, the UNC men's and women's head coach, were both recruited and coached by Allen as were many of the coaches involved in the camp. "We all view ourselves as continuing the great work of Dr. Allen," Ward said. "He is , the mentor of all of us." Besides directing the camp and the Rain bow Soccer League, Ward is also a member of the UNC soccer staff and is co-director of the 1931 Women's National Soccer Cham pionship which will be played in Chapel Hill November 19-22. This year's camp is divided into five areas of competition which offer instruction for all ages' and skill levels. The Youth League operates for children under 1 2 with a Senior League for kids from 12 to 15, and a Boys Varsity Circuit for boys from 15 to 18. A Women's Varsity Circuit will offer teaching for girls from 14 to 18. In addition, the camp also offers a coach ing clinic where adults can obtain United States Soccer Federation licenses to coach and a special goalie school for goal-tenders, r mm mm mm CLIP THIS COUPON -J a 6 B I a B B B I ' TURKEY.

From a first-year total of three or four female campers, women now constitute about 25 percent of the school's enrollment. , Ward feels that this increasing interest is due in part to the rise of the women's soccer team at Carolina which f inished fourth in the country last year. -;.' ; "UNC has made a major commitment to the women's program by giving scholarships," he said. "I guarantee that the. women will win the championship this fail." The camp's coaching staff reflects a heavy UNC influence as well. Nearly every Tarheel coach will be participating along with several former players as well as other coaches from all over the country. "We feel we have assembled the finest soccer talent anywhere," Ward said. The camp also serves a second important service to soccer in Chapel Hill. Many of the players that attend come back year after year and eventually play their college ball at UNC. Presently, there are four former camp ers on the men's varsity. Michael Fiocco, voted the most valuable freshman last year was a former camper as was leading scorer Chris Brown. , . Ward, who also started the successful Rainbow League which is in its tenth year, has seen his school grow from an enrollment of less than 75 the first year to its present size and prestige. "We now have more kids coming from one state Maryland than we had campers the entire first summer," he said. "We must be doing something right when someone comes from as far away as Missouri." - Li o r ISAEI3EQIUE All ADC Permits Full Tc!:c-Out-Gcrvicc Qpzn Mala J; Tucs Cz Wed: llam-l:20am Thurs," Fri i Sat: llsm-2am Sundby: 4pnvl:30am Kitchen Open 'til 11:00pm .
