  • American Football
    COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 American Football American Football popularly known as the Rugby Football or Gridiron originated in United States resembling a union of Rugby and soccer; played in between two teams with each team of eleven players. American football gained fame as the people wanted to detach themselves from the English influence. The father of this sport Walter Camp altered the shape and size of the ball to an oval-shaped ball called ovoid ball and drawn up some unique set of rules. Objective American Football is played on a four sided ground with goalposts at each end. The two opposing teams are named as the Offense and the Defense, The offensive team with control of the ovoid ball, tries to go ahead down the field by running and passing the ball, while the defensive team without control of the ball, targets to stop the offensive team’s advance and tries to take control of the ball for themselves. The main objective of the sport is scoring maximum number of goals by moving forward with the ball into the opposite team's end line for a touchdown or kicking the ball through the challenger's goalposts which is counted as a goal and the team gets points for the goal. The team with the most points at the end of a game wins. THANKS FOR READING – VISIT OUR WEBSITE www.educatererindia.com COMPILED BY : - GAUTAM SINGH STUDY MATERIAL – SPORTS 0 7830294949 Team Size American football is played in between two teams and each team consists of eleven players on the field and four players as substitutes with total of fifteen players in each team.

Front coverphotograph by Pelle Haglund FOREWORD 3 Foreword It’sbeen nearly eight years since I was introduced to the "international" game of American football. I took the invitation to officiate the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) World Championship in Japan as an opportunity to get a jump on the upcoming fall NCAA season. Ididn’tknowwhat to expect. I assumed the competition and the officiating would be equal to NCAA Division II or III. What a pleasant surprise I and the other American officials were in for.The caliber of football was well beyond what we expected and the best part was what we came awaywith in our relationships with the fifteen other international officials. "Our game" was nowtheir game. Wecan become pretty complacent thinking that the Americans were the only ones who knewanything about football. Iremember one of our outstanding mentors, Jim Keogh, telling us that we’re likeapiece of fruit. "When we’re green we growand when we’re ripe we rot." That was Jim’smessage and emphasis to every official he evercame in contact with.

  • From the Desk of the Consul-General
    From the Desk of the Consul-General Consul-General Dr. Kazayuki Katayama September 2013-August 2015 The Consulate-General of Japan in Detroit Detroit, MI August 2015 From the Desk of Consul General of Japan in Detroit (Preface) I have served for nearly two years as the Consul General of Japan, in my jurisdiction of both Michigan and Ohio, from September, 2013 to August, 2015. I focused on the promotion of economics, politics, culture, public relations education and consular affairs, as well as the expansion of person-to-person exchanges in various areas between Japan and the 2 states. The consulate opened in 1993 and I am the 10th Consul General. During my term, I often visited local governments, companies, universities and colleges, Japanese weekend schools, branches of the Japan-America Society and the Japanese associations in various parts of the 2 states in order to foster the understanding of Japan’s policies, including its foreign policy, among the Americans here. I traveled to Ohio 66 times and Michigan (beyond Metro Detroit) 45 times. I visited universities/colleges 43 times, companies 24 times and Japanese weekend schools 14 times. I recited approximately 110 speeches and lecture and invited guests to my residence, to serve them Japanese food and Sake, about 200 times. My goals in participating in these activities were twofold. First, I aimed to convince Americans that Japan is a trustworthy and strong partner to the U.S. Second, I earnestly set out to provide quality services to local Japanese residence and portray the Consulate General as both conscientious and dependable.

  • Usa Football: the Roots Keep Spreading Team Usa Wins
    USA FOOTBALL: THE ROOTS KEEP SPREADING Football is the ultimate team sport. Supporting that spirit of teamwork, USA FOOTBALL has launched a new membership program for coaches, officials and administrators. USA Football, which is an independent non-profit organization whose mission is to lead the development and growth of youth, high school and international amateur football, designed the program to help members of the global football community share resources and advance the sport. Key features include training and resource tools such as an online coaching course, practice planner, interactive playbook, online officiating course, rules interpretation library and custom web sites for leagues, clubs and teams. “The launch of our new membership program will be a big step in the evolution of USA Football,” says SCOTT HALLENBECK, the executive director of USA Football. “We believe one of the keys to growing our sport is to provide coaches, administrators and officials with credible training and innovative tools. Our membership program will help these important gatekeepers become more knowledgeable and efficient.” New York Jets head coach ERIC MANGINI has recently joined USA Football as a coaching program advisor and spokesperson. A look at just a few of USA Football’s other accomplishments and initiatives: • Conducted a participation index study and determined that 2.2 million kids played youth tackle football in 2006. • Increased web site traffic 100% from 2006. • Conducted 19 youth football Coaching Schools (16 of these clinics were hosted by NFL teams). • Plan to award over $500,000 in equipment grants this year. • Sent the first U.S. Sr. National team to compete in the IFAF World Championship (see below).
