Junior Football Council was revamped to provide for the stat es central administration to conduct it's affairs, Whilst this reorganisation initially carried with them some PiPe d.reams in their operation, it soon became apparent, particularly in the latter case that some urg:ent changes would be reguired simply to enable the things to operate functionally under the system of N.S,W.

It is envisa.g'ed that a siinilar booklet. will be produced in 1988. Hi st ory o! the N. S,W, Australian Football Leaque You can see in some sections of this publication a move has been made to document some of the history of the Leag'ue. It is understood that a similar move was made only a few years a9o, however, all of the records and photographs obtai.ned from people and institutions were Ieft at the League's former premises in CIeveland Street, when the offices were vacated in 1985 to move to the Showground, The history of the game in N.S.W. is extremely important and the need to document its growth and development (or lack of it) over the years should be as of paramount importance not only to N.S.W.

The sporting field is where friendships are formed, life skills are learned and heroes are made — and this is why in 2013–14 the Australian Government invested almost $120 million in our national sporting organisations despite a challenging economic environment. In the past year the ASC has worked with sports to reform their governance structures and develop strategic and commercial capabilities. The ASC is determined to create better businesses — ones that will thrive in the years ahead — and we are leading the way with a lean and agile operating model and ongoing commitment to our own good governance. One of the highlights of 2013–14 was the Australian Government’s announcement of the Sporting Schools program. This $100 million program, which builds upon the successful Active After-school Communities program, will commence in 2015 and reach more than 850,000 children.

  • Football Federation Australia
    Football (Soccer): Football Federation Australia “I’d argue with kids at school and they all were convinced that rugby league was the most popular world sport. That shows how isolated Australia was. Soccer had to be introduced by migrants. We’ve come a long way.”1 Brazilian Ambassador once wondered whether Australians had a linguistic or an anatomical problem, since they seemed to reserve the term ‘football’ for games in Awhich the players predominantly use their hands.2 Such is the seeming contradiction in Australia where the term for the game played with the feet is called soccer and football (which is rugby league, rugby union or Aussie rules depending on where you live) is played mostly with the hands. Football is no longer the poor cousin of the ‘big four’ national sports in Australia – cricket, rugby league, Australian rules football and rugby union. Following the 2006 FIFA World Cup, the game has finally come of age in Australia and is starting to seriously challenge the other sports for spectator, sponsor and media support. Tracing football’s roots Playing a ball game using the feet has been happening for thousands of years. Early history reveals at least half a dozen different games, varying to different degrees, which are related to the modern game of football. The earliest form of the game for which there is reliable evidence dates back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. in China. Another form of the game, also originating in the Far East, was the Japanese Kemari, which dates from about 500 to 600 years later and is still played today.3 However, it is almost certain that the development of the modern game took place in England and Scotland.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the Rugby Football Union SPORT in OUR COMMUNITIES
    Written evidence submitted by the Rugby Football Union SPORT IN OUR COMMUNITIES – RUGBY FOOTBALL UNION RESPONSE TO DCMS SELECT COMMITTEE INQUIRY ORGANISATIONAL SUMMARY The Rugby Football Union (RFU) is the governing body for Rugby Union in England. Across England there are four million people enjoying rugby, 500,000 regular players with more than 100,000 volunteers in almost 2,000 clubs. All profit made by the RFU is invested back into the community game and the men’s and women’s England age grade and senior teams. This written submission details the governance of Rugby Union in England and how the future of the community game can be secured. 1. ARE CURRENT SPORTS GOVERNANCE MODELS FIT FOR PURPOSE? The RFU has a co-operative structure. Rather than being a company, it is a society registered under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act, meaning that it is a members’ organisation. The membership is predominantly rugby clubs, both professional and amateur. The Board has ultimate responsibility for the strategic direction of the RFU, and has the authority to exercise all executive functions other than clearly specified powers which are reserved to Council or the members. The Board is designed to be a combination of representatives of the game elected from the RFU Council, together with executive staff and independent non-executive directors. Directors are appointed through a rigorous skills based selection process to ensure the right combination of skills, experience and knowledge. With the exception of executive staff, all Board members are subject to limits on the time they can serve on the Board as set out in the RFU’s Rules.

This publication is an open access article. businessperspectives.org Problems and Perspectives in Management, Volume 10, Issue 1, 2012 Kieran James (Australia), Rex Walsh (Australia), Razvan Mustata (Romania), Carmen Bonaci (Romania) The appropriation of migrant labor in Australian football Abstract This paper examines the cancellation of Australia’s National Soccer League (NSL) at the end of the 2003-2004 season and its replacement with the hyper-capitalist A-League competition. The A-League was initially established under the guise of a “one-team-one-city” North American model and restricted itself to private-equity franchises that could raise start-up capital of AUD1 million. The shift to the A-League resulted in the ethnic community clubs, which had formed the backbone of the NSL, being relegated to the various states premier leagues. The authors use a Marxist analysis to explain how the transference of fans’ hopes and dreams on to the ethnic clubs and the transference by the part-time and volunteer labor forces of parts of themselves into the clubs have seen this accumulated capital (both financial and cul- tural) robbed and devalued by the A-League.

  • Origins of Football and Rugby Before 1850, Sport Only Played a Very Small Role in Briti Sh Society
    Unit focus: History of Football Text focus: Information Text (1010L) STAGE 6 Origins of Football and Rugby Before 1850, sport only played a very small role in Briti sh society. In fact, even today’s most popular game, football, was played by only the richest schoolboys around the nati on. Rugby, and many other games we now know and love, were yet to be invented. Football and rugby are everywhere in modern Briti sh life and, even if we don’t parti cularly like them, it is hard to escape their collecti ve presence. So how did these sports begin? Back in the early Victorian era, many public fi gures were worried about the state of school educati on and had concerns as to the behaviour of schoolboys. Despite strict punishments, it seemed that only their weekly games lessons got the best of them. Deciding it could help them understand the vital skills needed in life, headmasters believed that more physical educati on was needed. An early form of football instantly became the most popular with school children everywhere. Each school decided on their own sets of rules and began to develop into teams and later they formed clubs. However, there was to be one major problem. When clubs began to organise fi xtures, they found the other ‘football’ teams played with diff erent rules. Some could pick up the ball, others argued on how many players should be allowed to play. To stop any further confusion, a meeti ng was arranged at a pub in London. The meeti ng was the fi rst of the Football Associati on.

  • Guidelines for Matches on American Football Fields
    Guidelines for matches on American football fields Field Size: Understanding the field size for rugby matches is 100 meters by 70 meters, American football fields (100yds x 53 yds) are not ideal for rugby matches, but are acceptable (specially for high school and middle school rugby). When using a football field, utilize the normal markings, end-zone, out-of-bounds, etc. Below is some additional detail on using these fields. Touch 5 meter and 15 meter lines (in order of best option): • If lines exist for a wider soccer or lacrosse field, utilize those lines as touchlines. Make sure there is at least 5 meters of grass or turf from the touchline to the surrounding track or barriers. o The 5 meter line for the front of lineouts is the existing football out-of-bounds lines. o The 15 meter line for the back of lineouts is the top of the numbers for each yard line. • Utilize the football out-of-bounds lines as rugby touchlines. Ensure there is 5 meters of grass or turf between the touchline and the surrounding track or barriers. o The 5 meter line for the front of lineouts is the nearest marking you can utilize 5 meters from the sideline. This could be a hash line or potentially the referee will have to mark this out each lineout. o The 15 meter line for the back of lineouts is the top of the numbers for each yard line. Lines in the Field of Play: • Dead Ball Line – Use the back of the end zone for the dead ball line.
