Leisure usage has increased by three per cent and leads the way in the footwear usage category, but football, fitness, running and general sports are all in good health. GROWING SECTORS Purchases of football footwear have risen 14 per cent in the 12 months to March 2011 - a trend that values this market at almost £90 million. Fitness and gym are the growing sectors for girls, with many caught up in the dancing craze that has exploded in the UK thanks to films such as High School Musical and TV talent shows. And not only are the dance classes full, running is also booming. It has been mentioned before by NPD that females are more likely than males to train alone. This trend looks set to continue in the younger age groups - there’s been a 46 per cent rise in sales in the girls’ running market, which is currently valued at £6 million and represents a larger market than the boys. An interesting fact is that when parents buy 08 www.sports-insight.co.uk NPD_SI Template 26/08/2011 14:17 Page 2 CHILDREN for their sons staff competence is a major factor in why they chose a particular retailer to purchase from. This factor is rarely considered when parents buy for their daughters, so perhaps there needs to be more effort in promoting sports shoes to girls. The promotions and bright lights lead to the football products, but is there enough emphasis on girls’ running or fitness products? It would be unfair to suggest retailers aren’t focusing enough attention on the girls sector, but the easy sale of a new football boot could overshadow a lengthy discussion on girls’ running or dance shoes. So as the children’s market enjoys an upwards trend, it would be a good strategy to concentrate on both genders. Certainly boys will keep coming back for the next generation of football boot, but girl’s shoes might just generate more sales than expected.

  • Joshua's Heavyweight Title Defence Postponed by Coronavirus Outbreak
    18 Established 1961 Sports Sunday, April 5, 2020 Photo of the day NFL could move 2024 Super Bowl due to Mardi Gras NEW ORLEANS: The NFL is considering moving the 2024 Super Bowl out of New Orleans due to potential conflicts with Mardis Gras that emerged with the pending expansion to a 17-game season. New Orleans, which was awarded Super Bowl LVIII during a meeting in 2018, would not lose the game entirely, but rather have it pushed back a year or two. No decision has been made. The game is scheduled for Feb. 4, but that date was set with a 16-game NFL schedule. If a week were to be added to the schedule, the game would be played on Feb. 11 — presenting a conflict with Mardi Gras begin- ning on Feb. 13. “The New Orleans Host Committee, led by the New Orleans Saints and Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation, has remained in close communication with league officials about the change to a 17-game regular season, as it relates to the city hosting Super Bowl LVIII in 2024,” Saints vice president of communica- tions Greg Bensel said in a statement on Friday. “During the bid process in 2018, it was contemplated and discussed of the possibility of an extended sched- ule based on a new CBA. The Bid Committee, the New Orleans Saints and NFL worked together to build in contingencies if a potential conflict with Mardi Gras should affect the Super Bowl date. “Mutually agreed upon terms during the bid process granted assurances that the NFL and Host Committee would explore all options for still hosting the game in 2024, or, agreeing to host the Super Bowl in a future year when the citywide calendar permits.” The 17-game schedule, per terms of the new collec- tive bargaining agreement, will be installed as the norm sometime between 2021 and 2023.

  • World Champions WARD, FROCH Fight for the Inaugural Super Six Cup; World Championship Unification; and to Determine Preeminent Super Middleweight in the World
    World Champions WARD, FROCH Fight For The Inaugural Super Six Cup; World Championship Unification; And To Determine Preeminent Super Middleweight In The World NEW YORK (July 18, 2011) – The stakes couldn’t be higher, the drama more intense. On Saturday, Oct. 29, two confident reigning world champions–one from America, the other from Europe–will collide in the eagerly awaited Super Six World Boxing Classic Final, a World Championship Unification, live on SHOWTIME® (10 p.m. ET/PT, delayed on the West Coast) from the historic Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J. When the Super Six began, neither undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) super middleweight champion Andre Ward (24-0, 13 KOs), of Oakland, Calif., nor his World Boxing Council (WBC) counterpart, Carl Froch (28-1, 20 KOs), of Nottingham, England, were among the favorites. But through career-defining fights and remarkable drama both in and out of the ring, Ward and Froch have persevered and emerged as prominent members of boxing’s exclusive Pound-for- Pound list and are now poised for global stardom. The Super Six World Boxing Classic was conceived by Ken Hershman, Executive Vice President and General Manager, SHOWTIME Sports®, to match the best fighters in a deep, talent-laden division in a series of fights to see who would come out on top. Now, Ward and Froch are just one victory away from earning the distinction of being the undisputed No. 1 super middleweight in the world. “I can’t think of two more deserving men than Andre and Carl to represent this tournament in the Final with a chance for one of them to hoist high the inaugural Super Six World Boxing Classic Cup,” said Hershman.

Eastern Rhinos take on Club Weekend in Lake District The Eastern Rhinos are a Rugby League team based in Colchester with teams from juniors up to seniors. The boys set off on their trip on a Friday for a weekend full of fun, exercise and building cohesion between the team. After a late arrival on Friday everyone spent a little bit of time relaxing down and getting settled in before getting some rest to prepare for the busy weekend ahead! Saturday morning started early with a delicious breakfast at High Row, before the team headed off to the Whitehaven Rugby League ground. Whitehaven are a championship team and were very hospitable and allowed the Eastern Rhinos to train on the first team pitch in the main stadium (Recreation Ground), something the boys absolutely loved. Their awe-inspiring setting encouraged them to have a great training session that will not be forgotten any time soon. We returned to the centre (which during the daylight we could see was set in the most beautiful setting surrounded by mountains in the Lake District) for sandwiches before setting off outside to get involved in some rock climbing and abseiling – anyone who said they were not a bit scared must have been fibbing! The boys worked really well together to give each other the encouragement
