NAME: KEVIN BROOMHALL ASSOCIATION: WERRIBEE LEVEL 6: #128 (2002) UMPIRING CAREER: Kevin Broomhall is a life member of the Werribee Softball Association. Kevin received his Level 6 Umpire Accreditation in 2002 as #128. Kevin was awarded Softball Victoria Life Membership in 2009. Kevin always presents a positive image of umpiring and the role of an umpire. As the State Training Officer on the Victorian Umpiring Committee for many years, Kevin mentored and trained many current umpires and his positive influence and attitude is appreciated by all who meet him. Kevin takes pride in his role as an official and it doesn't matter what level of ball he's umpiring - he always gives 100%. His involvement at the local level with helping to develop umpires, especially kids, has meant that many umpires in the state can say he's had a hand in their training. Kev has given away shirts to umpires just starting out so that they feel the part and he's only too happy to explain a rule or situation. His training and mentoring has assisted others to be better umpires. Kevin always respects those involved in the sport who strive to be their best and maintain a positive attitude. Regardless of their participation, Kevin will happily work wth players, coaches, team managers, statisticians and others to ensure that softball is always the winner. Kevin's commitment to softball and umpiring from the local level at Werribee up to National level is evidenced by his continual selection to senior roles in the State and National Umpire Program and events. He has developed the current state training material and offers courses throughout the year on a planned and improvised basis. His personal drive to continually improve himself and his umpiring is a credit to him. Kevin's consistent high level of performance in the diamond is recognised by his recent achievement of obtaining his International Softball Federation Certification and appointment to the New Zealand National Tournament. Kevin will go out of his way to help people who are genuinely interested in learning how to umpire. His dedication to training is evident in the amount of training material he generated during his tenure as training officer which is still used (including the creation of the Future Umpire Program), and also the training material he has generated for both Softball Australia and ISF. Kevin has been, and still is a major contributor to the success of the umpiring program in Victoria. Always quick with a joke or a helping hand, Kevin is an excellent ambassador for Victoria and softball, both in this state, nationally and internationally. His contribution to softball in Victoria is of such value that the Association will continually benefit from retaining a lifetime association with Kevin.

    The three-legged race: A history of Physical Education, School Sport, and Health Education in New South Wales public schools from 1880 to 2012. Michelle Gorzanelli Faculty of Arts and Social Science University of Sydney 2018 A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that all the assistance received in preparing this thesis and sources have been acknowledged. Michelle Gorzanelli Acknowledgements Completion of this doctoral thesis was possible with the support of several people. Most significantly, this feat was possible because of the unconditional support provided by David Baxter, who always made himself available to clarify my thought process and offer guidance that extended this PhD into my professional development and career progression. My manager Associate Professor Kathie Ardzejewska was also very supportive in terms of my personal welfare, and development as an academic. Ben Kooyman was kind enough to undertake the editing work and I acknowledge his meticulous work and attention to detail. I am very much grateful to Mum, Dad, my sister Bec, and my husband Sean for encouraging and believing in me every step of the way. Without their support I would not have been able to manage study along with my everyday life. Sean was understanding and patient during the tough times and stayed by my side. To my little and beautiful soul, Kaden, you have been on this journey without even knowing it and my love for you kept me motivated and dedicated to making sure this achievement came true.

    Women, Sport and Ethnicity: Exploring Experiences of Difference in Netball

    WOMEN, SPORT AND ETHNICITY: EXPLORING EXPERIENCES OF DIFFERENCE IN NETBALL Tracy Lynn Taylor Submitted for the qualification of: Doctor of Philosophy 2000 Acknowledgments I would like to express my appreciation to the following individuals for their guidance, assistance, motivation and perseverance in the completion of this thesis. From the initial selection of the topic, through its various stages of conceptualisation and re conceptualisation through to completion my supervisor, Richard Cashman, has been invaluable. Richard provided direction and feedback that allowed me the opportunity to move at my own pace and in my own way. In particular, his eye for detail was greatly appreciated. I would also like to acknowledge Kristine Toohey’s role in partnering a number of research projects from which the idea for this thesis emerged. Researching cultural diversity presented a huge learning curve for both of us and opened my eyes to a different way of looking at sports organisation and discourse. My appreciation also to Tony Veal and Bob Barney who agreed to read and comment on the final draft and probably didn’t know what they were in for! Many thanks for your insightful comments and generously giving up your leisure time to do so! Finally, my appreciation to Peter McGraw for his proof-reading skills, suggestions on structure and language, and honest appraisal of content. Certificate of Originality I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and to the best of my knowledge it contains no materials previously published or written by another person, nor material to a substantial extent has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma at UNSW or any other educational institution except where due acknowledgement is made in the thesis.

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS History, it has been said, is not what actually happened but what was recorded! This is true of many things and no doubt there are comments or numbers in this document that may not be true and correct. The reason for sharing this document is to provide lacrosseurs past and present with information on the history of lacrosse in Australia, but this is written from information gathered mainly by Victorians, thus its focus was on Victoria, as is its natural bias, but does provide a lot of information about men’s lacrosse in all states and a little bit about women’s lacrosse. This document has come a long way from what we were provided in hand written manuscripts for various periods from 1876, and no doubt still contains errors of fact or spelling. If you can help with correcting any errors or filling in any gaps we would appreciate you contacting us. With some help from our lacrosse brothers and sisters in all states it can one day tell the story of lacrosse in Austalia from many perspectives and include far more information and knowledge than we have provided in this document. Our intention longer term, with the cooperation of all interested lacrosseurs in Australia, is to develop a book on the history of lacrosse in Australia, covering men’s and women’s lacrosse, all states and all types of lacrosse played. I trust you find the early years as fascinating as we have. Lacrosse was once a significant sport in Australia, played on such great venues as the MCG, SCG, the WACA and Adelaide Oval.
