  • American Football
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 American Football American Football popularly known as the Rugby Football or Gridiron originated in United States resembling a union of Rugby and soccer; played in between two teams with each team of eleven players. American football gained fame as the people wanted to detach themselves from the English influence. The father of this sport Walter Camp altered the shape and size of the ball to an oval-shaped ball called ovoid ball and drawn up some unique set of rules. Objective American Football is played on a four sided ground with goalposts at each end. The two opposing teams are named as the Offense and the Defense, The offensive team with control of the ovoid ball, tries to go ahead down the field by running and passing the ball, while the defensive team without control of the ball, targets to stop the offensive team’s advance and tries to take control of the ball for themselves. The main objective of the sport is scoring maximum number of goals by moving forward with the ball into the opposite team's end line for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the challenger's goalposts which is counted as a goal and the team gets points for the goal. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins.

  • Football Helmet Reconditioning in Unprecedented Conditions
    Football Helmet Reconditioning in Unprecedented Conditions Copyright 2020 National Sporting Goods Association 1 Football Helmet Reconditioning In Unprecedented Conditions Background The COVID-19 pandemic upset the typical plans of being ready for football in the fall. There was some level of disruption from the NFL to the youngest ages. Some programs started their seasons around their normal time. Others put on hold until the winter or spring and there are some that were shut down entirely. The questions surrounding this unexpected situation led the National Sporting Goods Association (NSGA) and National Athletic Equipment Reconditioners Association (NAERA) to collaborate on a video “Football Helmet Reconditioning in Unprecedented Conditions.” In this video, NAERA Executive Director Tony Beam and NAERA President Bob Fawley share their expertise with NSGA Team Dealer Division and Communications Director Marty Maciaszek to provide some guidance to the reconditioning process during the COVID-19 pandemic where numerous high schools and colleges are planning to play in the spring of 2021. It is a resource tool for football coaches, athletic directors, school and program administrators, members of the sporting goods industry and the media. This document is a synopsis of the video that begins with introductions of Tony Beam and Bob Fawley and their background in the industry. The times listed are the points in the video where a particular topic or question is addressed. We hope you will refer to the video for more detail on those areas. Go to https://www.nsga.org/advocacy/covid-19-resource-page/covid-19-video-resources/ for the video. Copyright 2020 National Sporting Goods Association 2 Football Helmet Reconditioning in Unprecedented Conditions Video Synopsis 4:30 – How many helmets are reconditioned every year? Last year around 1.7 million helmets were reconditioned by 15 members licensed by NOCSAE (National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment) to recondition and recertify football and lacrosse helmets and sanitize sports equipment.

  • Vanderbilt Magazine Fall 2006
    A PipsqueakAMONG GIANTS How a 145-pound walk-on went the distance with one of Vanderbilt’s greatest teams ever By GARY GERSON, BS’85 | Illustrations by KEVIN MENCK A t the beginning of my freshman year at Vanderbilt in 1981, I joined the marching band. I lasted about two weeks, when I figured out I was no longer the big band boy I had been in high school back in Morristown, Tenn. After the director told me he wanted me to move props around during the halftime shows rather than star on the xylophone, quitting marching band was an easy decision. I would have more time to goof off and wallow in self-pity. I started hanging around with the football players in their dorm rooms at night, though they were usually too tired to do anything except telephone their moms and study a little and play bad electric guitar. These guys were huge and good looking and always tired out, but tired with a sense of satisfaction and accom- plishment. Though I hadn’t gone out for football in high school, I had always read about college football players in Sports Illustrated and had glamorized them through my adolescence, worshiping them at UT while I was growing up in East Tennessee. Now I was living with football players, watching them drink beer and have girls around (usually not Vandy girls, who were a bit too demure and smug and off-limits) and be cool in that casual way. 40 F all 2006 I found a bit of substance at WRVU, where I got my “Well, let’s get your name and address on the list and get eventually start at tackle as a freshman, hold that position own time slot, rising to become a very bad disc jockey who you a workout schedule.

  • Introduction: the Ball: the Helmet
    Introduction: American football is a tough, physical game requiring a wide range of attributes including explosive power, strength, agility, speed, and physical and mental toughness. The huge collisions and intricate plays involving the 22 players on the field are what make the sport the spectacle that it is. Games can take up to 3 hours to complete and can look quite complex, largely because each play is often highly tactical. In reality football is actually a relatively easy sport to follow and enjoy. It is the complexities of the sport, gained from years of avid watching, which make the game so interesting to watch and make it more than a test of brute strength and muscle. Also referred to as American football, as distinct from football (or soccer as it is also known.) In some countries, American football is often referred to as gridiron or gridiron football to differentiate it from other football games. The sport is popular at an amateur level in countries such as Mexico, Canada, Panama, England, Japan, and to a lesser extent Europe, New Zealand, and Australia. Although the sport is mainly played by men, a few amateur and semi-professional women’s leagues have sprung up in recent years. Football kit has come a long way from the early days when players wore very little padding and injuries, even fatalities, were a regular occurrence. These days, the equipment allows the game to be played to its full, brutal potential by greatly reducing the risk of serious injury. Modern football equipment is also is relatively light, allowing the player to move at ease, while also providing the necessary protection.
