  • Appendix a – National and Local Recreation Trends
    APPENDIX A – NATIONAL AND LOCAL RECREATION TRENDS NATIONAL DATA NATIONAL TRENDS IN GENERAL SPORTS The sports most heavily participated in for 2016 were golf (24.1 million in 2015) and basketball (22.3 million), which have participation figures well in excess of the other activities in the general sports category. The popularity of golf and basketball can be attributed to the ability to compete with relatively small number of participants. Golf also benefits from its wide age segment appeal, and is considered a life-long sport. Basketball’s success can be attributed to the limited amount of equipment needed to participate and the limited space requirements necessary, which make basketball the only traditional sport that can be played at the majority of American dwellings as a drive-way pickup game. Since 2011, rugby and other niche sports, like boxing, roller hockey, and squash, have seen strong growth. Rugby has emerged as the overall fastest growing sport, as it has seen participation levels rise by 82.4% over the last five years. Based on the five-year trend, boxing (62%), roller hockey (55.9%), squash (39.3%), lacrosse (39.2%), cheerleading (32.1%) and field hockey (31.8%) have also experienced significant growth. In the most recent year, the fastest growing sports were gymnastics (15%), rugby (14.9%), sand volleyball (14.7%), Pickleball (12.3%), and cheerleading (11.7%). During the last five years, the sports that are most rapidly declining include touch football (-26%), ultimate Frisbee (-24.5%), racquetball (-17.9%), and tackle football (-15%). Ultimate Frisbee and racquetball are losing their core participants while touch football and tackle football are experiencing attrition of its casual participant base.

  • National Trends
    APPENDIX B – NATIONAL TRENDS TRENDS ANALYSIS Information released by Sports & Fitness Industry Association’s (SFIA) 2016 Study of Sports, Fitness, and Leisure Activities Topline Participation Report reveals that the most popular sport and recreational activities include: fitness walking, treadmill, running/jogging, free weights and road bicycling. Most of these activities appeal to both young and old alike, can be done in most environments, are enjoyed regardless of level of skill, and have minimal economic barriers to entry. These popular activities also have appeal because of their social application. For example, although fitness activities are mainly self-directed, people enjoy walking and biking with other individuals because it can offer a degree of camaraderie. Fitness walking has remained the most popular activity of the past decade by a large margin, in terms of total participants. Fitness walking participation last year was reported to be nearly 110 million Americans. Although fitness walking has the highest level of participation, it did report a 2.4% decrease in 2015 from the previous year. This recent decline in fitness walking participation paired with upward trends in a wide variety of other activities, especially in fitness and sports, suggests that active individuals are finding new ways to exercise and diversifying their recreational interests. In addition, the popularity of many outdoor adventure and water-based activities has experienced positive growth based on the most recent findings; however, many of these activities’ rapid increase in participation is likely a product of their relatively low user base, which may indicate that these sharp upward trends may not be sustained long into the future.

  • NCAA Academic Reform: History, Context and Challenges
    CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS AND RESPONSES Journal of Intercollegiate Sport, 2012, 5, 4-18 © 2012 Human Kinetics, Inc. NCAA Academic Reform: History, Context and Challenges Michael Oriard Oregon State University The purpose of this article is to offer a sociohistorical overview of academic reform in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). To do so, the author draws heavily from football history and its association with academic reform in the broader intercollegiate athletics context. Intercollegiate athletics has undergone significant changes in professionalism and academic integrity over time—something that suggests the current dysfunctional structure can be systemically changed, too. I have been charged with laying out the broad context for the general topic of the colloquium, and for the keynote addresses and responses that follow. As a cultural historian, my focus has been on football, and I will focus my remarks on what I know best. I am fully aware of the irritation among advocates for nonrevenue and women’s sports when speakers focus only on football and men’s basketball. But football drove the development of college sports in this country, and along with men’s basketball, it has driven the academic reform agenda since the 1980s. Moreover, the two so-called revenue sports—at the most elite level—created the full-time, year-round model for all sports in not just Division I but also Division II. From my view, despite the higher graduation rates, particularly in women’s sports, this model has not worked to the benefit of these athletes, whose losses are merely the collateral damage from policies dictated by football and men’s basketball.

If you disagree with a ruling, feel free to email your perspective with supporting rule reference(s) to Dee for reconsideration. If you have a question for possible inclusion, please send it through the “Ask Dee” feature of the SUP ArbiterSports website. The Approved Rulings (A.R.) will help you be softball wise; the softball whys provide some insight as to the rationale for a particular rule. Dee Abrahamson, NCAA Softball Secretary Rules Editor Rules A.R. Rules: A number of NCAA umpires are being assigned to an NCAA team versus an international team (Japan, Netherlands, Toyota’s Women’s team). Do NCAA rules apply to these contests? Can coaches mutually agree to alter specific rules? Also, do we check bats from just the NCAA team or must their opponent comply with the equipment standards as well? RULING: All competition involving an NCAA institution must be played under NCAA playing rules (See Rules in introduction) so whether the opponent is an international team or belongs to a rival organization (for example, NAIA, NJCAA institution), umpires will not need to learn and enforce different rules or mechanics in order to officiate the game and NCAA teams will not have to own additional equipment. SOFTBALL WHYS- Why is there a difference between no restrictions on the number of innings in a scrimmage and a ten inning limit in a contest in the non-championship season? RULE FOUNDATION- A.R.
