  • Long Corner Kicks in the English Premier League
    Pulling, C.: LONG CORNER KICKS IN THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE... Kinesiology 47(2015)2:193-201 LONG CORNER KICKS IN THE ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE: DELIVERIES INTO THE GOAL AREA AND CRITICAL AREA Craig Pulling Department of Adventure Education and Physical Education, University of Chichester, England, United Kingdom Original scientific paper UDC: 796.332.012 Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate long corner kicks within the English Premier League that entered either the goal area (6-yard box) or the critical area (6-12 yards from the goal-line in the width of the goal area) with the defining outcome occurring after the first contact. A total of 328 corner kicks from 65 English Premier League games were analysed. There were nine goals scored from the first contact (2.7%) where the ball was delivered into either the goal area or the critical area. There was a significant association between the area the ball was delivered to and the number of attempts at goal (p<.03), and the area the ball was delivered to and the number of defending outcomes (p<.01). The results suggest that the area where a long corner kick is delivered to will influence how many attempts at goal can be achieved by the attacking team and how many defensive outcomes can be conducted by the defensive team. There was no significant association between the type of delivery and the number of attempts at goal from the critical area (p>.05). It appears as though the area of delivery is more important than the type of delivery for achieving attempts at goal from long corner kicks; however, out of the nine goals observed within this study, seven came from an inswinging delivery.

  • Strategic Plan 2020+ B E R M U D a F O O T B a L L a S S O C I a T I O N
    STRATEGIC PLAN 2020+ B E R M U D A F O O T B A L L A S S O C I A T I O N " G A M E F O R L I F E " INTRODUCTION It is often said, “a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” As with any journey worth taking, a plan should be the guide, the steps should be measured, and the purpose should be clear. The Bermuda Football Association (BFA) has a long tradition of inspiring, cultivating and creating leaders on and off the playing field. And though this is and always will be a never-ending journey for the BFA, we are committed to making sure the steps taken benefit all those that look to the Association for guidance and leadership. The Executive Council, in collaboration with stakeholders, developed this Strategic Plan to be used as our guide for the next four years. This plan is built aroundthe core values upon which the Association operates; good governance, integrity, transparency, and teamwork to name a few. The Strategic Plan 2020+ takes into consideration and further develops many of the elements outlined in our previous Strategic Plan 2016. The goals and objectives throughout this plan summarize the journey before us and indicates how our steps will be measured. Ultimately, the intended outcome and success of this Strategic Plan is dependant on the participation of all stakeholders. The perseverance among our Executive Council, Full Member Clubs and Associations, the Bermuda Government, sponsors, and the entire football family prove that with great teamwork and effort our goals can be achieved.

  • The History of Offside by Julian Carosi
    The History of Offside by Julian Carosi www.corshamref.org.uk The History of Offside by Julian Carosi: Updated 23 November 2010 The word off-side derives from the military term "off the strength of his side". When a soldier is "off the strength", he is no longer entitled to any pay, rations or privileges. He cannot again receive these unless, and until he is placed back "on the strength of his unit" by someone other than himself. In football, if a player is off-side, he is said to be "out of play" and thereby not entitled to play the ball, nor prevent the opponent from playing the ball, nor interfere with play. He has no privileges and cannot place himself "on-side". He can only regain his privileges by the action of another player, or if the ball goes out of play. The origins of the off-side law began in the various late 18th and early 19th century "football" type games played in English public schools, and descended from the same sporting roots found in the game of Rugby. A player was "off his side" if he was standing in front of the ball (between the ball and the opponents' goal). In these early days, players were not allowed to make a forward pass. They had to play "behind" the ball, and made progress towards the oppositions' goal by dribbling with the ball or advancing in a scrum-like formation. It did not take long to realise, that to allow the game to flow freely, it was essential to permit the forward pass, thus raising the need for a properly structured off-side law.

Although I have been in remission for 6 yrs my kidneys were affected to the point that they completely failed in 2012 when I suffered a bout of pneumonia. It was then that I was put on dialysis and the transplant list. My life then changed dramatically. I entered hospital to have an operation so I could commence Dialysis 3 times a week.

Starting this early enables me to attend Bermuda College where Ryan Day has most definitely been good news for the theatre community in Bermuda.

  • Futsal Rules
    Futsal Rules 20-minute-periods Futsal matches comprise two periods each lasting 20 minutes of actual playing time. The clock is stopped every time the ball goes out of play and is restarted when play resumes. Unlimited-substitutions A match is played by two teams, each consisting of not more than five players (a goalkeeper and four outfield players) and substitutes. There is no restriction on the number of substitutions that may be made during a match. Substitutions may be made at any time during stoppage of play. The-goalkeepers Goalkeepers have only four seconds in which to play the ball, with either their hands or feet, and may not touch it again if it has been deliberately played to them by a team-mate without an opponent playing or touching it. Goalkeepers are also now free to play anywhere on the pitch and throw the ball beyond the halfway line, which was not previously permitted. Two-more-things Unlike 11-a-side football, goals may not be scored directly from the kick-off in futsal and there is no offside. Ball out of play Ball out of play: When it has wholly crossed the goal line or touchline; when the game has been stopped by a referee; when the ball hits the ceiling (restart: kick-in at the place closest to where the ball touched the ceiling). Lines: Touchlines and goal lines are considered inside the playing area. Method-of-scoring When the whole of the ball has passed over the goal line, between the goal posts and under the crossbar (except by illegal means).
