  • 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.

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.

  • MIT Women's Rugby Football Club the Rookie Primer
    MIT Women’s Rugby Football Club The Rookie Primer (from Radcliffe RFC) Chapter 1 - Rugby? Wha…? Rugby is a sport, a passion, a disease you catch. They'll tell you it's a cross between soccer and football, but that doesn't REALLY prepare you. Rugby is its own backasswards self. There is NOTHING like it on or off the field. Some sports historians put forth the theory that in the olden days it was considered amusement for one town to try and carry a somewhat startled young pig to another town's village square. They would employ various methods of dodging, dashing, passing, or just plowing through en masse to achieve this. These primitive contests became refined over time and emerged as rugby, soccer, football, etc. To the casual observer, rugby seems remarkably close to its roots. There is also the worn-out legend of William Webb Ellis, who one day during a soccer match at Rugby School in England, decided to pick up the ball and run with it. Our own research has shown that the kid's name was really Wilma and it was her ball. She was merely trying to make a point on the rampant sexism and provincial attitudes of that particular institution; besides, her mom was calling. Wherever it came from, today's rugby is, at its best, a blend of strategy, strength, speed, and instinct. At its least, it is organized and glorious mayhem. The object is to, by carrying, passing, and kicking the ball, score more points than the other team. Simple enough .

    SPRING & SUMMER 2021 CELEBRATING DARIEN’S 200TH BIRTHDAY PROGRAM REGISTRATION BEGINS MARCH 3RD 2020-ONE MORE TIME! PAGE 25 www.darienct.gov/parkrec | 2 Renshaw Rd. Darien, CT | 203 -656-7325 LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, As we embark on a new journey of change in 2021, we remain hopeful that life will return to a place where we can socialize and recreate as we have in the past, but the reality will be a blend of new safe practices. The past year has been extremely challenging and unlike any year we have endured before. With these challenges, also Pam Gery & Town Administrative Staff at Weed Beach Fest came new learning experiences and two things became abundantly clear: 1. Parks are essential 2. Pre-pandemic ways of operating are forever changed. Our team at the Parks & Recreation Department responded quickly and began to create and embrace a new way of doing things, and our programs and parks are now busier than ever. While our attendance at our parks continues to swell, our park crew also continues to work diligently to keep them clean and safe for everyone’s enjoyment. As we continue to research on how best to serve all of you, I came across a national survey that the National Parks & Recreation Association did recently and found the following top 10 next best practices for 2021 and years to come: 1. In-person offerings and virtual programming will coexist. 2. People will view access to parks/outdoors as a right, not a luxury. 3. Zoom will be a verb.
