Lacrosse Team Wanted! Through with a Win April 15, 2020 Volume 12, Issue 2 Respect VMS Volleyball Tournament Coronavirus: Before And After “Serves Up” Success! By Melissa Paucar By Grace Condura Written on March 5th: The VMS Volleyball Tournament is always an exciting event for both middle Starting towards the end of 2019 a disturbing new threat appeared. This threat is called the Corona- schoolers and teachers! The students that sign up are split into teams with virus. The Coronavirus seems to have started in December 2019, in Wuhan, China. The Coronavirus is a family of others in their grades and assigned a team name. This year, on February viruses that usually only infect animals but sometimes can mutate and infect humans. The virus came to be known as 13th, the teams faced off against other teams in their grade. COVID-19. The sickness caused by the virus often starts off mildly. In fact, the symptoms are very similar to other common How Does It Work? diseases. But soon the common symptoms grow into fevers and respiratory problems such as pneumonia. During this stage is when the authorities found out that the new disease was the issue, which was made on January 9th. Two The teachers create a tournament bracket for each grade and show how long days later, the first death from the Corona virus was confirmed. And soon 41 people were infected with the virus, with about another 700 possible infections. This confirmed to the authorities that the disease was easily passed on from each game will last, which was around 10 minutes per game. Each grade human to human through air. A few days passed and there was news of the first infections of the virus in other also has an assigned gym that they play at; the 6th graders play in the countries. middle school gym, and the 7th and 8th graders split the high school gym. After each game, the Written on April 11th: teachers update the bracket showing who Recently we have all been quarantined due to the Coronavirus, also rules such as social distancing each team will play next have been enforced. There is no need to worry, all that should matter to you is to practice social distancing, washing and when they will play your hands, and making sure you only go outside if it is completely necessary. During our time in quarantine many them. If a team has states have closed all schools temporarily for children’s safety, some states are Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and New Mexico, and of course, New York. lost two games, they Looking more into social distancing, you should stay 6 feet (2 meters) apart from other people. Why are out of the tourna- practice social distancing? Well it is proven that the virus is spread from people who are in close contact with ment. By the end, each others. This is basically why we are quarantined, to stay away from as many people as possible to avoid getting the grade has one team virus. Now of course you noticed that we now have to take online classes from home so that we won’t miss out on the left, and they are the things we should be learning in school. At this point in time there is a high chance that we will be taking online classes winners of the competi- for a long time. Proof of this generalization is that Bill DiBlasio, the mayor of New York City, has closed all schools in tion. the city for the rest of the school year, meaning the schools would open again in September. But the governor, Andrew Cuomo is saying he doesn’t have the authority to do such things. But this proves that a mayor is trying to do How Long Is The Tour- his best to keep not just the children but the teachers safe from the coronavirus by closing all schools to keep each child and teacher away from each other. Also this means that we may also have to take online classes for quite a long Students Take the “W” Over the Teachers! nament? time, though nothing is determined yet. Another thing going around is that some people are confusing quarantine with isolation. Now, before The tournament is usually about 2½ to 3 hours long, but you can leave as a counter with that the definition of quarantine is keep someone who might have been exposed to the coronavirus soon as your team is out of the competition, or you can stay and cheer on away from others. The definition of isolation is to separate sick people from healthy people. And just from those your friends! definitions you can see that they are two very different things. So, no, quarantine is not isolation because quarantine keeps people away from the virus, and yes isolation does that as well but in a different way. What Happens After A Team Wins In Each Grade? Now one final thing to mention is the essential workers that have been helping as much as they can to get us through this pandemic. Some essential workers are pharmacists, physicians, dentists, nutritionists, 911 call The final highlight of the tournament is the winners from each grade playing center employees, farmers, warehouse workers, psychologists, and many, many more.

First, the 6th6th----gradegrade team Helping us as best as they can to help us survive. And trust me, we will get through this. Together, we will beat the plays the teachers, then 7th, and finally the 8th8th----gradegrade team.

They won both matches against the 6th and 7th grades, but when they played the 8th8th----gradegrade team, they couldn't pull Lacrosse Team Wanted! through with a win. By winning, this 8th8th----gradegrade team received the title of being "the first team to beat the teachers in 6 years," and a handful of By Frank Scazafave gummy bears from Mr. Hayes. People might ask why we don't have a Boys’ lacrosse team, while we do have a Girls’ lacrosse team. When you hear this question asked, many more Where Do The Proceeds Go? would wonder too. We should definitely have a Boys’ lacrosse team. It would When a student enters the tournament, they pay $10, and this money goes draw a lot of attention to the sport and the school. We have a coach willing to do to the nearby Blythedale Children's Hospital. This year, the students raised it, but we still have not been successful in making it a school sport. Many of nearly $1700 to benefit the hospital! the kids already have their own gear. Doing this would bring a lot of attention, so many kids would sign up. What could have an assembly and have the kids This year's volleyball tournament was a huge success and a lot of fun for vote on whether they would want this.

  • Football Federation Australia
    Football (Soccer): Football Federation Australia “I’d argue with kids at school and they all were convinced that rugby league was the most popular world sport. That shows how isolated Australia was. Soccer had to be introduced by migrants. We’ve come a long way.”1 Brazilian Ambassador once wondered whether Australians had a linguistic or an anatomical problem, since they seemed to reserve the term ‘football’ for games in Awhich the players predominantly use their hands.2 Such is the seeming contradiction in Australia where the term for the game played with the feet is called soccer and football (which is rugby league, rugby union or Aussie rules depending on where you live) is played mostly with the hands. Football is no longer the poor cousin of the ‘big four’ national sports in Australia – cricket, rugby league, Australian rules football and rugby union. Following the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the game has finally come of age in Australia and is starting to seriously challenge the other sports for spectator, sponsor and media support. Tracing football’s roots Playing a ball game using the feet has been happening for thousands of years. Early history reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees, which are related to the modern game of football. The earliest form of the game for which there is reliable evidence dates back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. in China. Another form of the game, also originating in the Far East, was the Japanese Kemari, which dates from about 500 to 600 years later and is still played today.3 However, it is almost certain that the development of the modern game took place in England and Scotland.

    The History of Football from FIFA.com • The Origins • Britain, the home of Football • Opposition to the game • The Global Growth The Origins The contemporary history of the world's favorite game spans more than 100 years. It all began in 1863 in England, when rugby football and association football branched off on their different courses and the Football Association in England was formed - becoming the sport's first governing body. Both codes stemmed from a common root and both have a long and intricately branched ancestral tree. A search down the centuries reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees, and to which the historical development of football has been traced back. Whether this can be justified in some instances is disputable. Nevertheless, the fact remains that people have enjoyed kicking a ball about for thousands of years and there is absolutely no reason to consider it an aberration of the more 'natural' form of playing a ball with the hands. On the contrary, apart from the need to employ the legs and feet in tough tussles for the ball, often without any laws for protection, it was recognized right at the outset that the art of controlling the ball with the feet was not easy and, as such, required no small measure of skill. The very earliest form of the game for which there is scientific evidence was an exercise from a military manual dating back to the second and third centuries BC in China. This Han Dynasty forebear of football was called Tsu' Chu and it consisted of kicking a leather ball filled with feathers and hair through an opening, measuring only 30-40cm in width, into a small net fixed onto long bamboo canes.

The objective was to get the ball over the opposition's territory. ❖ As early 1314, soccer grew in popularity in Europe, however authorities issued proclamations forbidding the sport within the city due to the chaos it usually caused. ❖ In 1365, King Edward III of England actually made the game punishable by law because it distracted soldiers from practising more useful military disciplines, particularly archery. The ban lasted almost 500 years. ❖ Although soccer was popular from the 8th to the 19th century, it was disorganised, violent, more spontaneous and was usually played by an indefinite number of players.

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.
