Trinity boys, girls soccer combine youth camps to develop skills

Arv Koontz | The Tribune
With a smaller turnout than in the past, Trinity Lutheran soccer coaches Thom Hayes and Todd Jack decided to combine their youth soccer camps last week.
The coaches divided their campers into two groups, kindergarten through third grade and fourth through eighth grades. There were 10 boys and girls in the younger group and eight in the older group.
“We had quite a few of them return from last year,” Hayes said.
Both coaches said with the younger group, it is all about getting them to enjoy kicking a soccer ball.
Hayes, head girls soccer coach at Trinity, said, “With the younger group, any activity we can get them to do with the ball — and some of them don’t even seem like they’re soccer-related — it’s just getting them out here, outside with a soccer ball at their feet, playing Simon Says, Follow the Leader, and we add some games in there to make it a little competitive, but mostly, it’s just running around having fun with a soccer ball at their feet. ”
Todd said, “With them, it’s repeating successful habits. A lot of watching the ball go in the back of the net, making sure that they are continually getting that success at the end of a drill, that’s what we focus on. We get them doing a little bit of everything, dribbling, passing, shooting, but ultimately with the younger group, we focus more on the experience of the drills rather than the technicality of the drills.”
The coaches teach more advanced drills with the older campers.
“When they get older, then you start teaching ‘Here’s how you strike the ball. Here’s where you pass the ball,’ more technical fundamentals,” Hayes said. “The shooting drill we just did was something we even work on with our high school team.”
Jack said later in the week, the campers worked on more team-based drills, where they worked together to accomplish the drill.
“With that group, we switch gears, focusing more on making the experience good to having a more technical focus and being more skill-based in our drills,” he said. “We have different focuses each day. We started off with ball control in passing, then focused on shooting and movement and passing to a teammate.”
Hayes will begin his fifth season coaching the Trinity girls in the fall, and Jack will begin his third season as coach of the Trinity boys.
Two years ago, Kailene Cockerham was the leading scorer for the Trinity girls, and she graduated, and last year, Emma Myers was the leading scorer and she also graduated.
“I think we’ve got some girls that are ready to step up and give it their best, so we’re looking forward to a fun season if nothing else,” Hayes said.
All the athletes can do now is condition on their own. The coaches can’t have any organized practices with the players until after the moratorium week, which is the first week of July.
Kinley Stanfield and Wyatt Raggow said they enjoyed working on their soccer skills at the camp.
Stanfield, who will be a fifth-grader at Immanuel Lutheran School, said this was her first year attending the soccer camp.
“I like kicking the ball,” she said, and added that she likes the two-on-two drills.
She is going to have a busy summer, as she also is going to attend art, gymnastics and cheerleading camps.
Raggow played the goalie position for some of the drills during one session of the camp.
“This was my first time playing goalie, and I liked it,” he said. “I want to try new things for soccer.”
Raggow, who lives in Columbus, says he also plays hockey.
“I might stop hockey after this season to do soccer, depending on how well this camp goes for me,” he said.
Wyatt and his brother, Kaleb, both attended the camp. Their brother, Zander, is a member of the Trinity Lutheran team, and they are nephews of Trinity boys coach Todd Jack.
“Zander started playing soccer, and Kaleb and my other brother, Quinn, and I started playing soccer, too, with us,” Wyatt said. “Then we took a little break, and then my uncle (Todd) started this soccer camp, and that is why we joined. ”
Trinity Broadcasting Network to merge 5G and ATSC 3.0 with Trilogy spinoff
Originally published on lightreading.com
Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), an international, Christian-based broadcast television network, is officially getting into the private wireless 5G networking game.
The company is currently putting together a new leadership team for its Trilogy 5G technology spinoff in order to use its ATSC 3.0 spectrum holdings for applications beyond broadcast TV. Specifically, TBN’s Trilogy 5G subsidiary is working to a build private wireless networking business that can use technologies like 5G and ATSC 3.0 inside of spectrum bands ranging from 600MHz to 3.5GHz CBRS to unlicensed 5GHz.
Parag Shah recently joined Trilogy 5G from Amdocs, where he worked on the company’s CBRS efforts. He said Trilogy is offering something unique – low-band, broadly available spectrum initially intended for broadcast TV – in the private wireless networking space.
“We see it as a way to be different in the marketplace,” he said of the company’s ATSC spectrum holdings, which generally sit between 100MHz and 600MHz. “This is an exciting space that we’re about to enter.”
The next NextGen
Trilogy “has access to the largest ATSC 3.0 broadcasters, covering 72% of the country, and more are in the works,” the company said on its website. “Combine this with the technical abilities designed into the new [ATSC] 3.0 standard to ‘cellularize’ the delivery of the signal through SFN’s (Single Frequency Networks), not in recent times has such a significant increase in data payload delivery come to the market. Through our iterative testing we have produced valuable acknowledged research, a proven ecosystem, standards influence, and governmental policy influence with our custom built ATSC 3.0 lab, merging broadcast with LTE|5G.”
The company’s tagline is “where broadcast, broadband and cloud converge.”
ATSC 3.0 is a next-generation, IP-based broadcast TV signaling standard that is being marketed under the “NextGen TV” brand. Shah, Trilogy’s president, said TBN is looking to monetize portions of TV broadcasters’ spectrum holdings that are not being devoted to NextGen TV.
Shah said Trilogy’s initial focus will be on building networks for schools, colleges and other educational institutions. He said that focus stems from the network the company built in Dallas covering 4,500 students. The network was initially constructed in CBRS and TV White Space spectrum, and the company is now layering in ATSC spectrum on top of that.
He said the company would look to replicate that model across other school districts, potentially via federal funding for the digital divide.
To be clear, a number of school districts have used pandemic funding to build private wireless networks to keep homebound students connected during COVID-19 lockdowns.
An expanding focus in a crowded market
But Shah suggested that Trilogy 5G will look into a number of different market verticals for additional opportunities. He suggested the broad reach of TV broadcasting spectrum coupled with the network capacity afforded by CBRS spectrum could appeal to enterprise customers ranging from automakers to CDN cachers to distance learning providers to digital billboard operators. “There’s hundreds of applications and use cases,” he said.
Trilogy 5G of course is not alone in chasing the private wireless networking market. Vendors like Ericsson and Nokia, operators like Verizon and Dish Network, startups like Celona and Ligado and hyperscalers like Google and Amazon are just a few of the companies that have announced major investments into the private wireless networking space. Just this week NextWave announced it is currently building 4G/5G networks in some major US cities devoted to private wireless networking applications.
Nonetheless, Shah said Trilogy 5G is currently building a vendor ecosystem and sales pipeline to support its own expansion ambitions.
“All this stuff has been around for a long time,” Shah said of technologies like ATSC. Indeed, TV broadcasters have been discussing the potential of ATSC 3.0 for almost a decade now.
Shah said it’s now time to have a fresh look at what ATSC and TV broadcasters’ spectrum holdings can do. “Timing is everything,” he said.

A unique Grimme Varitron 470 potato harvester appeared in the Zavodoukovsky district. This year, the self-propelled machine will be used on the fields of the Druzhba farm.
“The new harvester allows you to work in difficult weather conditions, when the rest of the equipment just gets up because of the rain. It has reduced pressure on the soil, it digs less traumatically than other models and more effectively cleans the tubers from the ground. The quality of the harvest does not decrease even at night. At the same time, the machine operator gets tired less at work,” said Ivan Shishkanov, director of the Druzhba farm, about the advantages of the new combine.
Channel “Tyumensky agrarian” also reported that the machine lifts tubers from four rows in one pass, at the same time it can mulch tops and unload crops on the go, which increases productivity by up to 30%.
