Umpiring Career
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. -

Aim of this Submission This submission aims to present Softball Australia’s view on aspects of sports reporting and digital media. The submission does not attempt to respond to all the terms of reference, as many address issues that are outside the expertise and experience of Softball Australia. As a significant contributor to grass roots and elite sport in Australia, and as a true family team sport for all ages and abilities, we believe Softball’s experience is representative of many non-professional sports. 2.

A History of Physical Education, School Sport, and Health Education in New South Wales Public Schools from 1880 to 2012
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. -

Vivienne Triplett's Involvement in the Sport of Softball Was Lifelong – 46
Vivienne Triplett’s involvement in the sport of softball was lifelong – 46 years – and she maintained her interest until the end. It is a testament to her love of and commitment to the sport. Vivienne came to softball later than most, having first played baseball. She started playing softball in 1964 for the Wingers Club in the Melbourne competition based at Fawkner Park, South Yarra. The Wingers coach at the time was to become the first Australian Softball Federation Chief Umpire, Marj Dwyer. Marj insisted that her players understood the rules of the game and everyone in her team was expected to umpire and attain, at the very least, a State umpire qualification. Vivienne gained her Victorian Badge in 1966 and her All Australian badge in Sydney in 1968. In those days there was only one annual National Championship – the Open Women – and Vivienne umpired at every Championship from 1968 until 1984, including appointments to 11 consecutive Australian Championship Grand finals – 9 of those as the plate, or main, umpire. When the Under 16 and Under 19 Australian Girls Championships were introduced, Vivienne participated as an umpire or in the management role of Tournament Chief Umpire. Vivienne’s international umpiring career included her first Women’s World Championship in Connecticut, USA in 1974. At that time Australia’s umpiring program was not as it is today and the umpiring methods were vastly different than those used at World Championships. Her performance at this world event was extraordinary in that for her to comply with the international umpiring standards of the time she had to study a borrowed umpiring manual prior to each game assignment to know what was required. -

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.
