Landesregierung für das Sportwesen (11) 1 04.04.2018 Geschichte des Faustballsports Das Faustballspiel ist einer der ältesten Sportarten der Welt. Erstmals erwähnt wurde das Faustballspiel im Jahr 240 n. Chr. von Gordianus, Kaiser von Rom. Im Jahr 1555 schreibt Antonio Scaino die ersten Regeln für den italienischen Volkssport, das "Ballenspiel". Johann Wolfgang von Goethe schreibt in seinem Tagebuch 1786 "Italienische Reise": "Vier edle Veroneser schlugen den Ball gegen vier Vicenter; sie trieben das sonst unter sich, das ganze Jahre, etwa zwei Stunden vor Nacht". 1870 wird das Spiel in Deutschland wieder entdeckt und der Deutsche Georg Heinrich Weber verfasst 1896 das erste deutsche Regelwerk. Populär wurde das Faustballspiel unter Turnvater Jahr in Deutschland und ist bis heute noch in den Turnvereinen als Ausklangspiel verankert.

    ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN TABLE OF CONTENTS WELCOME 1 SCOREBOARD 2 THE 8 PLAYS 6 CALL FOR LEADERSHIP 22 GAME CHANGER 26 The Promise of Pro Teams IDEAS 28 APPENDICES 30 ENDNOTES 40 Report funded by the Ralph C. Wilson, Jr. Foundation, with guidance provided by the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan THE VISION Southeast Michigan communities in which all children have the opportunity to be active through sports WELCOME Southeast Michigan is one of the most diverse regions in the United States, from any number of perspectives. It covers broad swatches of farmland, suburbs, and urban neighborhoods. The region is also home to both affluent and low-income neighborhoods. Half of the state’s population lives in Metro Detroit, where families of many types and ethnicities—African American, Arab American/Middle Eastern, Native American, Hispanic/Latino, whites, and many others—pursue their slice of the evolving, often elusive American Dream. The region features riverfront and inland parks, 17 Fortune 500 corporations, world-class universities, and professional sports teams in four of the major leagues. Opportunity and diversity of challenge are the defining features of youth sports in the region, as well. This report offers an independent assessment of the state of play for kids and sports in the seven-county region comprising Southeast Michi- gan—Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Washtenaw, Livingston, Monroe, and St. Clair counties. It is anchored in the notion that all stakeholders will benefit if all children in the region, regardless of zip code or ability, are provided access to a quality sport experience. We know this from the body of research that has emerged over the past decade establishing the myriad benefits of physical activity.

  • Lifting the Bar: a History of Inclusion, Empowerment and the Rise of Women’S Olympic Weightlifting ______
    LIFTING THE BAR: A HISTORY OF INCLUSION, EMPOWERMENT AND THE RISE OF WOMEN’S OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING ____________________________________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Fullerton ____________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Kinesiology ____________________________________ By Paulina Rodriguez Thesis Committee Approval: Professor Matthew P. Llewellyn, Chair Professor Toby Rider, Department of Kinesiology Professor John Gleaves, Department of Kinesiology Summer, 2016 ABSTRACT On November 14, 1996, the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) and the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) met in Cancun, Mexico to discuss an array of administrative and participatory issues regarding the upcoming Sydney Olympic Games. On the agenda in Cancun was one issue that had persistently afflicted the Olympic Movement for over a century: gender inequality. Based on prevailing pseudo-scientific theories of physical vulnerability, as well as the founder of the Olympic Movement Pierre de Coubertin’s own patriarchal attitudes towards female athleticism, women were originally excluded from Olympic competition. Despite decades of intensive lobbying and the gradual dismantling of the walls of exclusion, female athletes still fell short of full equality in the Olympic arena. Weightlifting, for instance, remained open only to men. The Cancun meeting helped change this situation. The IOC Executive Board, boasting the full support

Typos due to autumn arriving, leaves and letters flying about... Early October 2016. I'll send this issue around a bit, hoping to recruit members to EAPA, fandom's oldest electronic APA. EAPA really needs you, so please consider joining! Minac is only 1 page - as a PDF – every second month. Ask me for details: [email protected] Edit-2-rially This Intermission is for EAPA's traditional open October mailing, so I'll do it in the form of a mini- anthology with the best (or least worst...) from previous Intermissions, November last year and on. Please note the message above! EAPA needs /m/o/r/e new blood. (Also a new Official Editor, as ther old one is resigning af6er doing his duty for a long time.) An electronic APA is a good idea, so one should exist. Instead of at a later stage reinventing the wheel, why not use the wheel that already exist! EAPA is a wheel that has rolled for 150 mailings, so let's try to keep it going. Membership doesn't really require much. You write something every second month (or every month if you whish) and press the command for “export as PDF” in your word processor.

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.
