  • Schools Rugby League Newsletter
    Schools Rugby League Newsletter Message from the ESRL chairman 2012 has once again been a year of change in national school sports and here at the RFL we have seen some significant changes in the way schools Rugby League is now administered. In October 2011 English Schools Rugby League successfully transitioned into the RFL. The new ESRL board functions as a subcommittee of the RFL Community Board and provides advice and guidance on the development of Rugby League within Schools. The board consists of: David Gent ESRL Chairman, RFL Ian Szwandt RFL Community Board Member Ray Unsworth Board Member Steve Boothroyd Primary Schools Representative George Panayiotou Secondary Schools, North Representative John Griffin Secondary Schools, North Representative Alsion Ward Secondary Schools, Midlands & Girls Representative Tony Fretwell Teachers Rugby League Representative John Kear Professional Clubs Representative The ESRL board continually looks to recruit new members onto the board which will help the development of Schools Rugby League, at present the board is in the process of recruiting a North East and South representative. The RFL’s flagship competition Carnegie Champion Schools remains the largest Rugby League tournament in the world and continues to expand year on year introducing more and more students to competitive sport. This year saw some excellent Rugby League finals played at Odsal and Wembley stadium. Going into the new season I wish all the school teams taking part in ESRL Rugby League competitions the very best of luck and thank you for your time and effort in the coming months. Once again I am confident that ESRL will have another record year with teams taking part in competitions and no doubt ESRL will be leading the way for competitive school sports.

    THE ACTION KICKS OFF THIS SATURDAY NIGHT Sir Peter Leitch Club Newsletter RLWC 2017 24th October 2017 It’s 4 days until the Kiwis play # their first game of the 2017 RLWC 193 Back The Kiwis By Enjoying Lunch By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan E ARE only days from the kick-off of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup, with Australia and England W– in what will be a hell of a match - doing the honours on Friday night. Of course the Kiwis take on Samoa on Saturday night at Mt Smart, and that one should be a good game too. League legend Olsen Filipaina is taking the ball out, which is pretty cool given he has represented the Kiwis and Samoa. The game I am looking forward to is the Kiwis v Tonga in Hamilton, because there is not going to be a lot of love lost when those two sides meet, after everything that has gone on. Before a ball is kicked I have the Kiwis lunch at the Ellerslie Events Centre to look forward to on Friday. When Pete asked if I would take it on with Gordon Gibbons and Tony Feasey, I foolishly said yes, not want- ing to let Pete down. But in truth Gordon has been amazing and we have an incredible line-up of Kiwis greats taking to the stage, and players with a long history of World Cup and test glory in attendance. I have been to several of Peter’s Kiwis lunches and enjoyed every one of them.

  • Foot and Ball Impact Characteristics in AF Kicking I Comparisons of Foot To
    Foot and ball impact characteristics in AF kicking Comparisons of foot to ball interaction in Australian Football in elite males By James Peacock ID: 3855335 Submitted for the degree of Bachelor of Applied Science (Honours) in Human Movement Supervisors: Dr. Kevin Ball Dr. Simon Taylor Dr. Hiroyuki Nunome College of Sport and Exercise Science Victoria University 9th October, 2013 I Foot and ball impact characteristics in AF kicking Abstract Drop punt kicking is considered the most important skill in Australian Football (AF) and impact is the most crucial element in performance. Previous research on impact in AF kicking has used pre and post ball contact data to calculate average foot-ball characteristics but there has been no evaluation of the phase during impact. Important information has been found in soccer performing this analysis and importantly some parameters such as force have been found to be two times average force. The aims of the study were to evaluate foot and ball velocity during impact and compare impact differences between distance and accuracy kicks. Eleven elite AF players were fitted with reflective markers on the kick leg and foot and kicked drop punt kicks with their preferred foot attempting to hit a 20m target (accuracy) and performing maximal distance kicks. Two-dimensional 4000Hz video recorded impact and from this footage, shank, foot and ball markers were tracked using ProAnalyst software. Distance kicks displayed significantly larger foot and ball velocity, contact distance, average and peak force, work and impulse while accuracy kicks exhibited larger contact time and greater plantarflexion at the ankle throughout impact.
