Australian Team Coaches/Selectors Meeting Sunday 22 January 2012, 3:30pm at Challenge Stadium 2013 Australian National Championships preliminary information The Victorian Underwater Hockey Commission (VUHC) is committed to hosting Nationals in 2013. Unfortunately, due to issues with lifting tiles we are no longer able to utilise the facilities at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre in Albert Park. An organising working group has been elected and we are exploring options at other venues with the aim of securing a booking in the next month. Further details will be distributed to state representatives and posted on the VUHC website (www.vuhc.org.au). Questions about the 2013 Nationals in Melbourne should be directed to the VUHC President, Steven Taylor ([email protected]). The VUHC 2013 Nationals working group includes: Suan Adorni, Juan Manuel Castano, Sharon Davis, Michaela Dommisse, Luella Genato, Graham Henderson, Alec Johnston, Tracey McFee, David McFee, Tim Odgen, Rees Quilford, Kirsteen Reid, Martin Vetneer, Belinda Watts, Camille White, Callum Wishart. 2012 Underwater Hockey National Championships 5 Update from Underwater Hockey Australia Last year proved to be a massive year for Australian Underwater Hockey. March witnessed a successful and immensely enjoyable Nationals held in Canberra while our representative teams enjoyed considerable succuss in the second half of the year. Gold and silver for the Men and Women at the CMAS world championships in Portugal and a fourth placing for the U19 boys in the Age Group tournament in Holland was a credit to all involved and unequivocally demonstrated that Australia remains a force in international Underwater Hockey. Australian players also participated in a U15 team trip to New Zealand and a large contingent attended the Asian Championships held in Singapore in December. On the administrative front, the UWA AGM held in October witnessed some substantial changes to the committee. Jane Gilligan concluded her term in the Executive Director position while Simon Talbot stood down after a decade or more in the Chief Referee role. Joe Tindal (Records Officer) and Craig Proctor (Communications Officer) also stood aside. All four made significant contributions to the organisation and the sport and their involvement, dedication and humour will be greatly missed. On a positive note, the current committee (outlined below) features some new faces which will us help build on the solid foundations laid in the previous years. This year shapes as an exciting and challenging one. We kick off with a bang here in Perth. As per usual high level, competitive hockey played in good spirit is sure to be a hallmark of Nationals. In terms of our international commitments over the next couple of years: indications are that Worlds will be held in South Africa in 2013. This is a major shift from what had been previously stated. Discussions with international partners about our plans for 2012 are advancing well and we hope to share more news on that front shortly. See you in the water.

The rules for this competition will be read in the following order: (i) these “B” Section rules; and (ii) the v1.3 WAA rules available from the WAA web site at www.thewaa.org REFEREES, SCORERS & TIMEKEEPERS: Competition refereeing duties have been allocated as follows: • 2 x ‘Pro’ referee’s (1 x Chief Referee and 1 x in-water referee per match) wherever possible; • 2 x in water from either volunteer referees or supplied by states as per roster Please note that where a State team is rostered to provide officials for any slot, that team does not have to actually DO the refereeing they are scheduled for, but it is their responsibility to find any replacements needed, and the replacements MUST meet all requirements detailed below (unless otherwise approved by the Tournament Chief Referee). If any officials that a rostered team is responsible for supplying cause a game to start late, according to the main game clock, the rostered team will lose competition points as follows: • Between 0 to 2 minutes late – lose 1 game point; • Between 2 to 5 minutes – lose 2 game points; • More than 5 minutes late – lose 3 game points; • Don’t show at all – lose 4 game points. Any individual supplied by a State to referee a game (either as a Deck Referee OR a Water Referee) during this competition MUST have at least a Level 1 refereeing qualification, and be listed on the Chief Referee’s database. Individuals presenting to referee without any qualification will NOT be accepted as Referees for a game (unless otherwise approved by the Tournament Chief Referee), and this will result in the above-mentioned point deductions being implemented for the ‘named’ refereeing team. Time keepers and scoring benches will be manned by WA volunteers. 8 2012 Underwater Hockey National Championships SCORESHEETS: Pre-printed scoresheets for each game will be placed at the official’s desk for each court on the morning of each competition day. Team Captains are responsible for ensuring that their team details are correct on the game scoresheet prior to each of their games – including deleting the names of any players not participating in the game, and ensuring all cap numbers are correct on the scoresheet. Teams will lose 1 competition point if this is not done before the start of the game. THE SIDE BARRIER: Where the side barrier of a court is not the actual pool wall, it will be an aluminium barrier weighted down on the pool bottom, with a floating canvas extension of approximately

  • A History of Octopush
    A History of Octopush Written by Ken Kirby from articles by Alan Blake, E. John Towse and Cliff Underwood and with reference to BOA archive documents. Sub aqua diving around the coast of Great Britain in wintertime is not the most fun thing to do for most divers. Many turn to their local swimming pool to practise and keep fit. In 1954 Alan Blake, the Club Secretary of the Southsea British Sub Aqua Club decided to find a more fun way of spending time in a swimming pool and started to come up with ideas. Several schemes were mooted and discarded as impractical but one day in Jack and Ena Willis’s kitchen drinking tea along with Frank and Hazel Lilleker, and his wife Sylvia, Alan laid out his plans for a winter sport that they could hopefully develop. His plan was for teams of eight to propel a circular disc - possibly made of lead – with short sticks, to opposite ends of the swimming pool. As keen divers they wanted to maintain their links with the sea so they named the disc a Squid and the scoring area a Cuttle (later re-named the gulley). The short wooden stick became a pusher as that is what it was used for. The name of the game was simple - eight players gave them Octo and pushing the squid gave them Octo-push. (Although it was quickly realised 8 players on each side rather fills a swimming pool so teams were later reduced to 6 a side in the playing area). It has been suggested that knocking a diving weight around the bottom of the swimming pool with snorkels was the origin of Octopush, but at no time did this happen.

  • Example---Underwater Hockey
    Connect the Components to a Sport or Exercise Activity In no less than two paragraphs (minimum of 5 well-developed sentences per paragraph), describe a sport or exercise activity of your choosing using both the Health and Skill Related Components. Your first paragraph should include a description of your sport in terms of anaerobic or aerobic characteristics. Is it more anaerobic or aerobic in nature and explain why? The second paragraph should include one or more of the Health-Related Components and two or more of the Skill-Related Components in your description of the sport. Describe how those components relate and underline the key terms (components discussed in class). The following is an example that may be helpful, write however in your own style and capability. Example----Underwater Hockey Underwater hockey is a blend of both anaerobic and aerobic exercise. Anaerobic in that players have to hold their breath exhausting their supply of available oxygen much like what happens in a high intensity sprint when muscles can no longer maintain highest intensities because the need for more oxygen is greater than what the body can provide at that intensity. So in underwater hockey players have to surface, clear their snorkel and then inhale (hopefully only air) to replenish their oxygen and likewise sprinters have to slow down after a few seconds of level 5 intensity in order to allow their bodies the time needed to replenish oxygen to their muscles. The continuous process of kicking underwater as well as high oxygen consumption places underwater hockey primarily in the cardiovascular endurance component.

  • “He's Taken a Dive”: Cultural Comparisons of Elite Referee
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Portsmouth University Research Portal (Pure) “He’s taken a Dive”: Cultural Comparisons of Elite Referee Responses to Reduced Player Behaviour in Association Football Tom Webb & Richard Thelwell Sport Business and Management: An International Journal Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to consider the cultural similarities and differences between elite referees concerning their preparation and performance in dealing with reduced player behaviour. Design: Semi-structured interviews were employed to collect the data. The 37 participants from England, Spain and Italy were selected through the use of purposive sampling, and all were working in the field of refereeing as current elite level referees, ex-elite level referees, referee assessors, referee coaches, or managers and administrators from bodies that manage and train referees. Inductive content analysis was employed to generate themes from the raw data. Findings: Referees have identified particular issues related specifically to player behaviour and also identified specific traits pertaining to players from certain countries. Furthermore, results demonstrate that referees have begun to alter their preparation and performance due to the pressure they perceive exists within Association Football and, more specifically, from the players themselves. Originality: This study is the first to compare cross-cultural elite referee responses regarding their preparation and performance related to player behaviour. Key words: Association Football, elite referees, cultural comparison, player behaviour, simulation. Paper type: Research paper. 1 Introduction There is a body of work that has examined the existence of several factors concerning player behaviour in team sports, such as aggression in ice hockey and field hockey (Shapcott, Bloom, and Loughead 2007).

  • Underwater Hockey Safety Regulations
    Underwater Hockey Safety Regulations Underwater Hockey, also known as Octopush, is a supreme aerobic game. It was invented in the early 1950s by sub-aqua divers in Southsea who got bored just swimming up and down pool lanes to get fit. The game is now played worldwide. Underwater hockey is fast, furious, and fun ... and you can join in. How do you play? Players wear the basic equipment of a mask, snorkel, fins, and water polo hat. They hold a small stick, about the size of a spatula, in a gloved hand. The idea of the game is to use the stick to push the 1.2 kilogramme puck into the opposing team's goal, which consists of a three metre tray at the opposing end of a 25 metre pool. Why is it the supreme aerobic game? All other sports allow the participants to breathe as they play. But in underwater hockey, players breathe through their snorkels on the top of the water before diving down to do battle with their opponents. Some players can stay down for a long time indeed, but the real skill of the game is judging when to dive. It can take just a few seconds to tackle an opponent and pass the puck to a colleague, and then return to the surface for a well-earned breath! How many play? There are 10 people in a team, but only six are allowed in the water at one time. This results in fast substitutions which resemble tag wrestling. The idea is to work quickly, and then get out to recover.

  • Safety Guidelines for Underwater Sports
    Underwater Society of America Safety Guidelines for Underwater Sports The Underwater Society of America (USOA) has adopted the following Safety Guidelines for participants in USOA sanctioned underwater activities. While no sporting activity is without risk, the USOA feels these Safety Guidelines will minimize what little risk exists in underwater sports training or competition. USOA plays four underwater sports - local to international level. Athletes wear masks, fins and snorkels. There are two team sports: underwater hockey and underwater rugby. There are two individual sports: fin swimming and skindiving spearfishing. Underwater Hockey is a snorkeling sport played in a hard-bottomed pool with depths of up to 12 feet. Short sticks are used to push and pass a 3-pound puck along the pool bottom into the opponents goal. Underwater Rugby is also a snorkeling sport played up to depths of 16 feet. A negatively buoyant ball is used, and play is both in the water column as well as at the pool bottom. Because the play occurs underwater for both sports, players must use controlled breathing and dive underwater for short periods of time while in play. In these team sports, players dive down to play in close coordination with their teammates to score or defend a goal. Fin swimming is classic swim competition for speed with fins. Skindiving spearfishing is a fishing competition where no scuba is used. Extended underwater breath holding can increase the risk of unconsciousness. USOA realizes the risk of such an occurrence is extremely low due to the inherent nature of the sports. However, the organization requires that all underwater sport athletes players read, understand and agree to follow these guidelines: 1) Hyperventilation is not allowed prior to or during underwater sports activities.
