  • Introduction
    Introduction The 2012-2013 school year saw our first drop in participation in 6 years. We went from an all- time high of 55 clubs down to 54, the product of losing a couple of clubs before gaining one. Additionally, our participation numbers reflected this slight downward trend. This was perhaps the only area though where we saw regression. Our clubs continue to perform at the levels we have become accustomed to and events per club continue to increase yearly. Our biggest areas of growth though were on the marketing and programming fronts. Under the guidance of our Club Sports Council and dedicated marketing team we hosted two successful events in the form of dodgeball and broomball tournaments bringing a diverse range of clubs together in spirited competition and community building. Proceeds from the events were put towards Hurricane Sandy relief and the continuation of our Carbon Off-Set Initiative. Additionally our outreach through digital and social media outlets continues to grow. The following report includes a snapshot of Club Sports this past academic year. In addition to statistics surrounding participation, a brief assessment of our marketing and programming efforts is included. We did not assess leadership outcomes this year as we participated in the Student Life initiative exploring them on a larger scale. A discussion of emerging trends and a list of or club’s numerous accomplishments concludes the report. Thank you for supporting our Club Sports and all the students whose lives at UVM are enriched through their participation.

Introduction Early stage Dodgeball was devised in United Kingdom and popular in United States since 1900 due to the European migration. In 1902, Japanese students in America broached Dodgeball back to Japan. In 1913, due to the high exercise value, Dodgeball became one of the teaching materials of Physical Education in Japan. Development in Taiwan During the Japanese colonial period, Dodgeball was broached and popular in Taiwan. In 1991, Dodgeball was nominated as one of the official competitions in the First National Primary Students Game. In October 1995, Taiwan representatives joined the First Asian Dodgeball Technique Conference; the 12-people game for international level was approved. On 9th October 1999, Taipei Chinese Dodgeball Association was established in Taipei City. Development in Hong Kong Although Dodgeball was popular in the schools in Hong Kong, there was no official organization to organize and monitor the Dodgeball development. Until March 2005, a group of enthusiasts set up the Hong Kong Dodgeball Association in order to develop Dodgeball systematically in Hong Kong. B. Competition Rules 1.

  • Indigenous Games and Its Importance
    www.ijcrt.org © 2020 IJCRT | Volume 8, Issue 8 August 2020 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Indigenous Games and Its Importance Author Dr. Somappa Badiger, College Director Of Physical Education & Sports Science Govt.First Grade College, Mariyammanahalli, Hosapete Tq. Ballari Dt. Karnataka Abstract: Sports and games have always been an integral part of India’s rich culture and history. Sadly, today’s kids are so engrossed in playing video games that traditional games like Pallanguzi, Lippa, Kabaddi, Gilli-danda have been completely forgotten. Gone are the days when kids simply couldn’t wait to go out and play a few rounds of Pithoo or Kith-Kith (Hopscotch) with their friends. The reduction in physical activity has given rise to a host of health issues in kids. Therefore, reviving traditional games will provide a host of health benefits. Throughout history, indigenous peoples have had many traditional sports and dances. It is through their history that they have turned these into competitive games and have made it an influential impact on the world and their people's culture. Playing games has always been an exciting part of growing up for us all. We recollect with happiness our childhood games and gadget free days. Sports is a great way to make friends and be healthy as well. Keywords : Sports and games, Indigenous, Aboriginal, Playing, culture, country, Importance. Introduction : Once upon a time, way before the impressionable minds were corrupted by video games and play stations, kids made games out of all that was available to them: wooden sticks for dice, shells and stones for making their next strategic move, and floors for gaming boards.

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.
