  • AIS Framework for Rebooting Sport
    Appendix B — Minimum baseline of standards for Level A, B, C activities for high performance/professional sport 1 THE AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF SPORT (AIS) FRAMEWORK FOR REBOOTING SPORT IN A COVID-19 ENVIRONMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY May 2020 The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) Framework for Rebooting Sport in a COVID-19 Environment — Executive Summary 2 INTRODUCTION Sport makes an important contribution to the physical, psychological and emotional well-being of Australians. The economic contribution of sport is equivalent to 2–3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The COVID-19 pandemic has had devastating effects on communities globally, leading to significant restrictions on all sectors of society, including sport. Resumption of sport can significantly contribute to the re-establishment of normality in Australian society. The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), in consultation with sport partners (National Institute Network (NIN) Directors, NIN Chief Medical Officers (CMOs), National Sporting Organisation (NSO) Presidents, NSO Performance Directors and NSO CMOs), has developed a framework to inform the resumption of sport. National Principles for Resumption of Sport were used as a guide in the development of ‘the AIS Framework for Rebooting Sport in a COVID-19 Environment’ (the AIS Framework); and based on current best evidence, and guidelines from the Australian Federal Government, extrapolated into the sporting context by specialists in sport and exercise medicine, infectious diseases and public health. The principles outlined in this document apply equally to high performance/professional level, community competitive and individual passive (non-contact) sport. The AIS Framework is a timely tool for ‘how’ reintroduction of sport activity will occur in a cautious and methodical manner, to optimise athlete and community safety.

  • Should Video Gaming Be a School Sport? Video Gaming Has Pro Teams, Star Players, and Millions of Fans
    DEBATE IT! We Write It, You Decide Should Video Gaming Be a School Sport? Video gaming has pro teams, star players, and millions of fans. But should it be considered a sport, like basketball or track? JANUARY 6, 2020 By Anna Starecheski & Kathy Wilmore Illustration by James Yamasaki Excitement builds as a huge crowd waits for the tournament to begin. The bleachers are filled with friends and family wearing school colors and holding signs. When the teams enter and take their places, the crowd goes wild, stomping their feet and shouting out the names of their favorite players. But this isn’t a varsity football or basketball game—and the players aren’t on a field or a court. They’re teams of students sitting in front of computer monitors, clicking mice and tapping away at keyboards. At a growing number of schools around the country, video gaming has become a varsity team sport. From 2018 to 2019, the number of schools participating in the High School Esports League grew from about 200 to more than 1,200. Video game competitions, known as esports (for electronic sports), are even bigger on the world stage. Nearly 100 million people around the globe watched the 2018 League of Legends World Championship finals. That’s about the same number of people as watched the 2018 Super Bowl. As esports have become more popular, some people are pushing for gaming to be considered a school sport. After all, they say, games like Fortnite, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and NBA 2K20 require skills and focus and can be intensely competitive.

  • Here Are Some Easy Starter Tips for Teaching the Game of Tchoukball to Your PE Students
    Here are some easy starter tips for teaching the game of Tchoukball to your PE students • Don’t tell them they can score at either rebounder. At first tell your teams they can only score at the opposite end. This will get them used to moving the ball up and down the court. You can add the both frame rule down the road. • Remember the rules of 3: 3 sec to hold the ball, only three steps, and when you are attacking both ends you cannot throw at the same rebounder after 3 trys. • When there is a change of possession make sure there is a “reset” by the new team. A reset is done by touching the ball to the floor with both hands on the ball. This can be done anywhere; it does not have to be at the goal line. • Don’t allow students to guard, intercept or even get in the way of a student who is trying to throw or catch a ball. No blocking out, screening, standing in the way of the rebounder is allowed. The team without the ball actually must make a concentrated effort to stay out of the way of the offensive team. • Once the ball leaves the hand of the team trying to score, they must now make sure they are not interfering with the other team trying to catch their ball. Any interference here is a foul and loss of possession/no score. • Small sided games are the best….3-5 players on a team. You can have a third team rotate in after a score.
