    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.

  • Technique of Goalie Punt (For Women) (R Foot Kick) Marion Alexander, Phd
    1 Technique of Goalie Punt (for Women) (R foot kick) Marion Alexander, PhD. Adam Toffan, MSc Brad Gerbrandt, MSc University of Manitoba Introduction The goalie is the only player in soccer who can legally handle the ball with the hands. The punt or drop kick is used by the goalie to clear the ball as far downfield as possible, since the ball is dropped out of the hands and is airborne at contact. The goalie may punt the ball when she makes a stop and has possession of the ball - she cannot be touched when she has the ball in the goal area. An effective goalie can punt the ball well down the field into their offensive zone, and this skill is an effective start for the attack. The job of the goalie is to clear the ball from the danger area near the goal as effectively as possible and as far downfield as possible (Crisfield, 1998). The punt is the kick with the greatest distance, since it is struck before ground contact while above the ground and has a higher trajectory and angle of attack than a kick from on the ground. The drop kick is a ball that is dropped by the goalie and is then kicked just after striking the ground- called a half-volley shot in other sports. The drop kick has a lower trajectory so will not travel as far but it will reach the receiver sooner as it is more like a line drive with a lower angle of release. Most goalies have a ritual series of movements they perform just prior to performing the punt.

  • The Lost Skill of Drop Kicking by Rick Gonsalves
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 22, No. 5 (2000) The Lost Skill of Drop Kicking By Rick Gonsalves When the NFL was in its infancy, drop kicking was the way players scored extra points and field goals. This skill too, was carried over from rugby. From 1920 to 1933, the football was shaped like a watermelon. Because of its blunt tip, the ball would provide the kicker with a dependable bounce, once it hit the ground. But in 1934, the ball became slimmer and more pointed for the passing game. Since it would not now give a dependable bounce when dropped, this form of kicking disappeared. Several players, however, became very proficient drop kickers. Jim Thorpe could hit on kicks up to 50 yards. Wilbur “Fats” Henry once boomed two 45-yard field goals for Canton against Toledo on December 10, 1922, which set an NFL record for the longest from a drop kick. At one point in his 8-year career, he converted 49 straight extra points, the most ever in the NFL by drop kicking. John “Paddy” Driscoll of the Chicago Cardinals kicked a 52-yard field goal against Milwaukee on September 28, 1924. For years, it was believed he’d topped Henry’s record for the longest field goal by a drop kick. However, newspaper accounts of the game clearly indicate he placekicked his boomer. John may have set an NFL record by drop kicking four field goals from 18, 23, 35 and 50 yards in one game against Columbus on October 11, 1925. Whether all four, including the 50-yarder were all drop kicks is in dispute.

The principles that govern all rule changes are that theymust: •besafe for the participants; •beapplicable at all levels of the sport; •becoachable; •beadministrable by the officials; •maintain a balance between offense and defence; •beinteresting to spectators; •not have a prohibitive economic impact; and •retain some affinity with the rules adopted by NCAA in the USA. IFAF statutes require all member federations to play by IFAF rules, except in the following regards: 1. national federations may adapt Rule 1 to meet local needs and circumstances, provided no adaption reduces the safety of the players or other participants; 2. competitions may adjust the rules according to (a) the age group of the participants and (b) the gender of the participants; 3. competition authorities have the right to amend certain specific rules (listed on page 13); 4. national federations may restrict the above sothat the same regulations apply to all competitions under their jurisdiction. These rules apply to all IFAF organised competitions and takeeffect from 1st March 2018. National federations may adopt them earlier for their domestic competitions.

  • The Kicking Game
    THE KICKING GAME LEGAL KICK: A punt, a drop kick, or a place kick – the term legal involves when and where and how the kick is executed. FREE KICKS: (A free kick down does not involve a snap.) Kickoff – Usually from K’s 40 and there is a 10 yd. neutral zone. You cannot use a punt for a kickoff. (Ask about the tee.) Following a safety – Usually from K’s 20 and has a 10 yd. neutral zone. You can use a punt or a place kick or a drop kick. (Yes, you can on-side kick following a safety.) K may recover (but NOT advance) a free kick if R has touched it OR if the kick has touched the ground AND broken the plane of R’s free kick line (in either order). Protect the kicker – No one may block the kicker until the ball touches the ground or it touches R OR the kicker advances 5 yards beyond his kick line. (15 yd penalty for an illegal block enforced from the previous spot and a re-kick). Free kick out of bounds – DID R EVER TOUCH THE KICK??? Must know this!!! . 3 options: 5 yard penalty and re-kick. R’s ball 25 yards from K.O. spot (at the hash mark). Refuse the penalty and take the result of the play. PSK does not exist on free kicks so all penalties during the kick are from the previous spot except for kick-catching interference (15 yard penalty and re-kick or an awarded fair catch following a 15 yard penalty from the spot of the foul).

  • Skills of the Past Year Levels Years 3–4 Activity Overview the Kicking Style in Australian Football Has Evolved Over Time
    Key Learning Area Health and Physical Education Skills of the past Year levels Years 3–4 Activity overview The kicking style in Australian football has evolved over time. Contemporary players predominantly use one type of kick: the drop punt. During the early years of Australian football, players could be seen using a variety of kicking styles including the drop kick, stab pass, flat punt, torpedo or, when that extra bit of accuracy was required when kicking for goal, the place kick. Students will engage in a series of activities designed to introduce them to these rarely used skills. As a way of understanding why the Australian football kicking style has evolved, students will engage in an experiment designed to test their own goal-kicking accuracy using a drop punt and a place kick. Time required Approximately 120 minutes Materials • Worksheet 1: Australian football skills of the past • Worksheet 2: How Australian football has changed from the past • One beanbag 10 cm x 20 cm, one football and two marker cones (for goals) per group (four to five students) • Images in Resources section on the AFL CD-ROM Preparation • Activity 1 is to be conducted in a large, flat, open space that has a non-slip surface (for example in a gym or on a grass surface). • Provide one copy of Worksheets 1 and 2 per student. Skills of the past © 2008 Australian Football League Activity steps Activity 1 1. Engage students in a discussion about how things change over time. Ask whether any students have heard an older person in their family say, ‘Well, things were different in my day.’ Have a few students recall some examples older family members have used to explain how things were different in the past.
