Harrisburg Rugby Football Club and the HRFC Futures Committee would like to thank PERSEVERANCE LODGE #21 of HARRISBURG, PA for the generous sponsorship of our club’s dream to build a premier rugby facility and permanent home for Harrisburg Rugby COMING SOON TO LONDONDERRY TOWNSHIP: HRFC PERSEVERANCE LODGE FIELDS AT SUNSET PARK For more information & to make a donation today, visit: www.gofundme.com/harrisburgrugby Welcome back to the Harrisburg Rugby 7’s Tournament! How quickly a year has passed and how much has changed, but we are hopeful for promising rugby times ahead. Along with many others this past year, HRFC experienced a great loss. I hope that while on or off the pitch today, you take a brief moment to remember HRFC’s one and only Bill Pagats. He dedicated countless hours leading our club (and a myriad of other rugby organizations) for many years and he will be sorely missed by HRFC and the rugby community far and wide. On behalf of the Harrisburg Rugby Football Club, I would like to thank the 2021 Harrisburg 7’s Tournament Committee for making this tournament run so seamlessly. As we knew it would this year, everything came together on rugby time, but we are grateful for the ability to host another Harrisburg 7’s Tournament. We would like to offer special appreciation to all of our tournament sponsors for their support. Without them, this tournament would not be possible. We urge you to patronize the advertisers in the program, as they are true advocates of rugby. Special thanks to all the referees – without them there would be no game. Thank you to the Borough of Highspire for the continued use of Memorial Park. And this year, thank you to the Dauphin County Technical School for use of their field space for our tournament. Good luck to all participants in the 35th Annual Harrisburg Rugby Club 7’s Tournament. Thank you for coming to make this edition of our tournament the best ever, and we hope to see you (bigger and better) again next year.

When this is not available, however, clay or sand may be used providing the surface is not of dangerous hardness. Page 6 shows a layout of the playing area, known as the pitch or field. Some general rules about the lines of the field are as follows: • The touch lines along the length of the field are out of bounds. • Corner posts and touch-in-goal lines are in bounds. • The goal line is in-goal, but the dead-ball line is out of bounds. • The twenty-two meter line is within the twenty-two meter area. How Rugby is Played Rugby is a game played by two teams, consisting of fifteen players each, who attempt to score points by carrying the ball over the opponents goal line (end zones) and touching it on the ground, called a try, or by kicking it over the cross bar of the goal posts. A try is worth five points, and a kick is worth either two or three points depending on the type of kick. The ball used is slightly larger than an American football and has no lacing. Gaining and retaining possession of the ball is the key to scoring, with the highest scoring team winning the game. The players in each team are divided into two main categories: forwards who gain possession of the ball, and backs who gain ground and are expected to score points. Possession of the ball is gained by various methods: • Following a stoppage in the play, a set piece is formed (i.e. kick-off, scrum, or line-out) to restart the game. • Seizing the ball during open play, such as rucks, mauls, and following a tackle. Gaining ground can be achieved by various methods: • Advancing the ball by passing it from one player to another while running toward the opponent’s goal line. This is done by finding gaps in the opposition’s defense. All passes must be lateral or in a backwards direction. • Kicking towards the opposition’s goal line either for position (i.e. touch) or kicking over the opponents heads into open areas and sprinting forward to regain possession. Both the forwards and the backs attempt to stop an attacking player carrying the ball by tackling either around the body or legs to bring him to the ground. In rugby you can only tackle the ball carrier; no form of blocking is allowed as in American football. What makes rugby fascinating is that possession can change from one team to the other in an instant, and the role of a player can switch from offense to defense and back again throughout the game. Unlike a football player, a rugby player who starts the game will remain playing, unless injured, for two forty-minute halves with a five-minute break at halftime. This creates an activity that is demanding both physically and mentally.

E-mail: [email protected] Received: December 30, 2020 Accepted: February 26, 2021 Online Published: April 25, 2021 doi:10.5539/ies.v14n5p63 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ies.v14n5p63 Abstract Rhythmic gymnasts repeat elements thousands of times which may put a risk on gymnasts’ health. It is necessary to protect the current and future health conditions of young gymnasts, especially in the growth process. There is a lack of knowledge about training education on rhythmic gymnastics. To suggest innovative changes, the current study aimed to analyze the scores (D, E, and total scores) of the first 24 gymnasts competing in 34th and 36th Rhythmic Gymnastics European Championships (ECh). Research data were collected from 24 rhythmic gymnasts’ scores, from the 34th ECh and 36th ECh. Difficulty (D), Execution (E), and total scores for hoop, ball, clubs, ribbon were analyzed. Conformity of data to normal distribution was assessed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Variables with normal distribution were compared by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)/independent samples t-test and for variables not fitting normal distribution, Mann Whitney U/Kruskal Wallis H test was used.

  • The Relationship Between Foot-Ball Impact with Kick Outcome
    THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FOOT-BALL IMPACT AND KICK OUTCOME IN FOOTBALL KICKING Submitted to College of Sport and Exercise Science VICTORIA UNIVERSITY In fulfilment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By JAMES PEACOCK 2018 Principal supervisor: Dr. Kevin Ball Associate supervisor: Dr. Simon Taylor I Abstract Across the football codes, kicking is the main skill used to score goals and pass between team members. Kicking with high ball velocity and high accuracy is required to kick to targets at far distances or reach a submaximal target in less time. The impact phase is the most important component of the kicking action: it is the only time a player forcefully contacts the ball to produce the flight path. Ensuring high impact efficiency and the appropriate combination of flight characteristics are imparted onto the ball during foot-ball impact is important for successful kicking. The aim of this thesis was to determine how foot-ball impact characteristics influences impact efficiency, ankle plantarflexion, ball flight characteristics and kicking accuracy. By using a mechanical kicking machine to systematically explore impact characteristics and performing an intra-individual analysis of human kickers, high-speed-video analysis of foot-ball impact found impact characteristics influenced impact efficiency, ankle plantarflexion, ball flight characteristics, and kicking accuracy. Increasing ankle joint stiffness, impact locations on the foot closer to the ankle joint, altering foot-ball angle and reducing foot velocity each increased impact efficiency. These results supported the coaching cue ‘maintaining a firm ankle’ during impact as effective at increasing impact efficiency. The impact location between the foot and ball across the medial-lateral direction, foot-ball angle and foot trajectory were each identified as influential to ball flight characteristics and/ or kicking accuracy.

Any of the following items can be successfully incorporated into relays and activities: • Balls – all shapes and sizes, hard or soft • Batons • Hoops • Tenniquoits • Benches • Bean Bags • Frisbees • Padder tennis bats • Skipping ropes • Children’s shoes, if all else fails. Remember when using balls that they can be thrown, rolled, kicked, bounced, dribbled with feet, carried, held between legs or under chin, batted along the ground. Soft or spongy balls are safe to use in halls or in open spaces in the classroom. All the equipment named above lends itself to relay work. After working through the following ideas, teachers will be able to develop many additional relay sequences and challenge the children to devise their own relay sequences. The daily physical activity session is not a time to teach specifi c skills. Use skills the children have already been introduced to. The daily physical activity session does give another opportunity to practise skills taught during physical education lessons.

    WHO’S ON THE PLAYING FIELD?: A JOURNALISTIC SERIES ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY IN SPORTS Brian Conlin A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication Chapel Hill 2010 Committee: Adviser: Walter Spearman Professor Jan Yopp Reader: John Thomas Kerr Jr. Distinguished Professor Richard Cole Reader: Professor Karla A. Henderson © 2010 Brian Conlin ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT BRIAN CONLIN: Who’s on the Playing Field?: A Journalistic Series about Homosexuality in Sports (Under the direction of Jan Yopp, Dr. Richard Cole and Dr. Karla Henderson) The number of openly gay and lesbian athletes has boomed since the 1980s. The Gay Games is one example of this. The first Gay Games in 1982 had 1,300 participants. By 1994, the Gay Games drew 11,000 participants. In three articles, this master’s thesis examines various aspects of gays and lesbians in sports. The first article covers the Gay Games. It includes information about its supporters and protestors, a brief history and a look ahead to the upcoming Gay Games and beyond. The second article profiles a rugby player on the Carolina Kodiaks, one of two gay rugby teams in North Carolina. The third article examines how journalists, especially those in sports departments, cover LGBT issues. The thesis aims to explore the issues of the gay and lesbian community as they pursue sports and to show that LGBT issues in sport will become more important as society becomes more tolerant.

  • RUGBY GENERAL DESCRIPTION of the GAME Rugby Is Played at a Fast Pace, with Few Stoppages and Continuous Possession Changes
    RUGBY GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE GAME Rugby is played at a fast pace, with few stoppages and continuous possession changes. All players on the field, regardless of position, must be able to run, pass, kick and catch the ball. Likewise, all players must also be able to tackle and defend, making each position both offensive and defensive in nature. There is no blocking of the opponents like in football. A rugby match consists of two 40-minute halves. FIELD OF PLAY Rugby is played on a field, called a pitch, that is longer and wider than a football field, more like a soccer field. A typical pitch is 100 meters (110 yards) long 70 meters (75 yards) wide. Additionally, there are 10-22 meter end zones, called the in-goal area, behind the goalposts. The goalposts are 'H'-shaped cross bars located on the goal line and are the same size as American football goalposts. THE BALL The rugby ball is made of leather or other similar synthetic material that is easy to grip and does not have laces. Rugby balls are made in varying sizes (3, 4 or 5) for both youth and adult players. Like footballs, rugby balls are oval in shape, however are rounder and less pointed than footballs to minimize the erratic bounces we see in football. PLAYERS & POSITIONS A rugby team has 15 players on the field of play, both American football and soccer have 11 players on each team. In rugby, each team is numbered the exact same way. The number of each player signifies that player's position.
