World Flying Disc Federation 2021 Annual Census World Flying Disc Federation 2021 Annual Census Overview of WFDF Census Data Report WFDF has done a formal annual survey of members since at least 2002. Over that period, there has been a compound average growth rate in players governed by WFDF’s Member Associations of 7.0%, down from the previous pace through 2020 of 9.7% because of the dampening effect on competition due to the pandemic. WFDF Annual Census of Member Countries and their Elite Player Membership: 2002‐2021 The impact of the coronavirus pandemic was clearly Male Female Total Summary Reported % Year reflected in the membership numbers reported by (lhs) (lhs) Countries M+F Total Total Female WFDF’s member federations, dropping 33.5% in the 2002 20,169 9,616 39 29,785 30,384 32.3% 2003 20,577 9,703 39 30,280 31,630 32.0% last year. We would expect this number to largely 2004 20,984 9,790 40 30,774 32,876 31.8% recover.

  • Israeli Sports – from National Pride to Political Hostility
    1 Israeli Sports – From National Pride to Political Hostility Haim KAUFMAN Zinman College, Israel Sports in the State of Israel have always vacillated between two conflicting planes. One is national sports which have been a central component of national identity and a source of national pride. The other is political sports which, as representatives of opposing political sectors in the country, have di- vided the country and have engendered a great deal of hostility and recurrent violence leading to dys- function. The tension between national sports as a tool serving national ends and sports for grinding political axes underlies the entire history of sports in Israel, and only in recent years seems to be gradually dissipating. Sports were created in Pre-Mandatory Israel at the start of the 19th Century and continued develop- ing throughout the Mandate period. With the establishment of the State of Israel, sports came under state authority. Representative sports served the young state's national interests. All-star teams and sports matches became tools for strengthening Israel's international recognition, expanding contact with other countries, increasing ties with Jewish communities in the Diaspora, and attaining prestige and honor. In the early years of the state, Israel's representative championship teams were a source of pride and identification despite their unimpressive results on the playing fields. People still remember the soccer games between Israel and the Soviet Union in 1956. At such encounters Israel was defeated twice. Nevertheless, such games were of great national value, as they strengthened political ties with the former Soviet Union and with Jews behind the "iron curtain" during the Cold War.1 Despite the new official status and national-functional relevancy of Israeli sports, their sectarian na- ture remained essentially the same.

Abstract Folk sports are the countertype of modern sports: invented traditions, bolstered by tangible ritual and intangible myth, played by the common folk in order to express a romantic ethnic identity. Like other cultural forms, traditional sports and games around the world are becoming marginalized in the face of modernization and globalization. In 2003, UNESCO ratified the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in an attempt to counter such trends of cultural homogenization. As elements of intangible cultural heritage, folk sports now fall under the auspices of UNESCO safeguarding policies.

We at the Olympic Committee of Israel have joined the call made by Dr. Thomas Bach, President of the Olympic Movement, to reduce gender gaps in sport and to strive for equality between the genders through commitment and responsibility, by making an influence and serving as an example to sport organizations in Israel. As early as 2018, equality was implemented in effect in the Youth Olympic Games which took place in Argentina, and the Tokyo Olympic Games (2021) will show far reaching changes with female representation aspiring to equality. In the Paris Olympic Games (2024) 50% of participating athletes in the Olympic Games will be females.

    American Tal Brody and teammates enjoying the excitement of fans after a great victory in Tel-Aviv over Real Madrid in 1977 during the “Golden Age” of Israeli basketball. COURTESY OF MR. TAL BRODY. FROM TAL BRODY TO EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS From Tal Brody to European Champions: Early Americanization and the “Golden Age” of Israeli Basketball, 1965-1979 YAIR GALILY The Zinman College of Physical Education and Sport Sciences Wingate Institute, Israel MICHAEL BAR-ELI Department of Business Administration, School of Management Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Beer-Sheva, Israel IN THE STATE OF ISRAEL, BASKETBALL TRAILS ONLY SOCCER as the country’s most popular sport. It is played by amateurs of all ages and at all levels, as well as by highly skilled and very well-paid professionals. Thousands of people throughout the country crowd arenas to watch basketball games, while many others view basketball games on television. Yet, Israeli basketball is a unique case: it is located geographically in Asia, com- petes in Europe, and is dominated by imported American players. At present more than one hundred American-born basketball players—both men and women—now play in Israel’s top two professional leagues. However, this has not always been the case. It was not until 1965, seventeen years after the establishment of the State of Israel, when American players began to take part in Israeli basketball. The first influx of American players, most of them Jewish, to the Israeli basketball league occurred Fall 2005 303 JOURNAL OF SPORT HISTORY Tal Brody, left, and Mark Spitz arrive for the first time in Israel in 1965 for the Seventh Maccabian Games.
