The field is 70m x 50m and features a touchdown zone, 10m line, 5m line and half way line. (See figure 1.1 below) (Touch Football…

    Introduction: In the final term of senior physical education, the institutional level of Figueroa's framework has been analyzed with the acquired knowledge applied to assess the appropriateness of St Mary’s access and equity with focusing particularly on netball. Some chose to play a sport for the health benefits, others because their parents played before them and yet some just play because they feel it is important to be apart of something so great. A study in New York found that prior to the age of thirteen, their parents were the largest influence on deciding their sporting activity (Etd.ohiolink.edu, 2017). To thoroughly understand the concepts that accompany the institutional level of Figueroa's Framework, a number of primary data analysis…

    Sport is entrenched in the sociocultural foundations of New Zealand. It has a dominant place in society; belonging in the same category as family, economy, media, politics, education, and religion (Donnelly, 1996). Like many of the aforementioned spheres of our lives, sport is a social construction, providing a window into the sociocultural context of which we live (Allport, 1985). Being a “social construction” we must attempt to understand sport by approaching it as a social fact, therefore sociologically, as opposed to how we would with objects or events in the biophysical world – through science and numbers. Understanding sociology as “the study of social relations undertaken from the point of view of people who operate within those social…

    Contact sports have been a part of school age children’s life for a long time in America. Whether it be football, soccer, lacrosse, wrestling, or the recent addition to American sports, rugby. Millions of children in middle school or high school have worked hard and enjoyed playing. In recent news articles contact sports have been deemed bad for children. Doctors have been studying the statistics and have come to the conclusion that children have been developing physical injuries resulting from certain types of contact sports. One of the new findings from these studies is that once a person especially a child receives a concussion, the probability that they will get another is a lot greater. Recently children have died from concussions, which they have received from playing contact sports. The future of contact sports will benefit greatly from these studies. With every study they preform, the more safe guards that can be developed means the fewer children will be injured. Most contact sports do have an element of physical danger, but if the coach and the players work together the injuries can reduce in number. There will still be the occasional injury, that’s the price the player pays for the type of sport they are in. Even though contact sports can be dangerous, it does have its benefits. Contact sports provide physical activity, teach discipline, and develop intelligence.…
