Best social HatTrick project 2012 –video clip

“Gay.. There’s nothing queer about it”

UEFA Football and Social Responsibility: Racism and Discrimination

Acceptance of homosexuality is a social issue. As the largest single sports association in the Netherlands KNVB takes its responsibility where they can - on and off the football pitch.

It is of paramount importance that everyone can be themselves, irrespective of colour, race, religion, gender or sexual preference. This is what RESPECT is all about.

Excel Sheet: Focus on Registered Non – Professional Players in Europe 2004- 2012 (Non – Professional) + Additional Follow up Questions to a sample of 10 Associations

General Findings 1. Methodologies Variety of methods used to report the number of registered players !  National Association estimates from the number of teams multiplied by a number ( e.g. 18 players per team x 10,000 teams = 180,000 players)  Player Registration by Regional Association provided to National FA  Centralized Individual Player Registration and the development of National Data base of players with details of age/gender  From paper registration to online registration with more data ( e.g. Belgium & Sweden)  Individual Player Registration with individual details + email address ( e.g. Czech Republic)

Classifications changed over the years  Associations only include active players – not all club members ( e.g. Austria)  ‘ Schools ‘ football not included under ‘ registered players at clubs’ ( e.g. England)  Futsal players not double counted

87 4/11/2013

General Findings 2.Headline Numbers • Over 18 million Registered Football Players in Europe • An increase of almost ¼ million male players under 18 years of age- now over 9 million registered young male players in Europe ( 2% uplift despite decreasing child birth rates throughout Europe) • 50% increase in young female players- now almost 900,000 ( 884,000) • 20% increase for female adult players – now over 1.1million • 2 million adult and youth female players • A 90% increase in the number of Futsal players ( now over 800,000 registered Futsal players ) • Every Association reports some growth in at least one category ( male/female/youth/adult/Futsal) But ……There are has been a 25% decrease in the number of adult male registered players: 3 million fewer male players over 18 years of age in 2012 than there was in 2004

General Findings 3. Analysis- major points • Associations are refining the methods they use to determine levels of participation and to obtain more detailed information ( e.g. Czech Republic,Austria,England,)

• Using this information as the basis of Development Plans & Refining the Focus of Plans ( e.g. Italy )

• Associations with increased participation are characterized by :  Strong clubs ( high number of teams/club-e.g. Greece,Holland,Germany )  Healthy associated growth in female footballers of all ages ( e.g. Austria,Denmark,Italy) – ‘The Female Multiplier Effect’

• The value of the UEFA Grassroots Charter as a Promotional Tool in assisting Associations increase the numbers of young players (e.g. Belgium) as a focus for training of Grassroots Coaches ( e.g. Russia) and as: “An instrument to develop a clear national grassroots strategy towards our 21 regional associations “ –DFB ( German FA)

Neurosurgery. 2012 Jan;70(1):1-11; discussion 11. doi: 10.1227/NEU.0b013e31823021b2. Heading in soccer: dangerous play? Spiotta AM, Bartsch AJ, Benzel EC. Source Department of Neurological Surgery, Neurological Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH 44195, USA. Abstract Soccer is the world's most popular sport and unique in that players use their unprotected heads to intentionally deflect, stop, or redirect the ball for both offensive and defensive strategies. Headed balls travel at high velocity pre- and postimpact. Players, coaches, parents, and physicians are justifiably concerned with soccer heading injury risk. Furthermore, risk of long-term neurocognitive and motor deficits caused by repetitively heading a soccer ball remains unknown. We review the theoretical concerns, the results of biomechanical laboratory experiments, and the available clinical data regarding the effects of chronic, subconcussive head injury during heading in soccer.
