Being one of the more Unique sports also means that the sport has many rules that I would like to tell u guys about as well. One of the reasons I think I am qualified to talk about Water Polo is because before this year, I knew little to nothing about the sport, and after playing for my high scool Water Polo was originally created in Great Britain William Wilson, the sport’s goal was to become the water version of rugby. In the early stages of the game , the rules …show more content…
The two team’s caps are different colors from each other, as well as the goalkeeper usually have different color caps from their own team as well. A game of water polo starts when the players on each team line up on their goal line with their heads touching the line. A player from each team (located at the side where the ball is dropped) sprints down to get the ball. After the ball is caught by one of the players, the ball can be moved by being thrown/passed down the pool or carried with one hand. Each offense (one team trying to score on the other) has a limited amount of time, 30 seconds, their attack can last. If the ball is not shot at the opposing team's goal or lost in 30 seconds, the team that had the ball has to pass it down to the opposing team. Other things that could lead to the ball being passed down to the other team would be if a field player touches the ball with two hands, or a player on offense that is holding the ball is using his hand to push the defender away from him. After a team scored a goal, the two teams may line up wherever they want on their side of the field. The team that had been scored on, starts with the ball, by a pass from one teammate to another. There are two types of fouls in water polo, normal fouls, that have very little effect on the game, and major fouls that have much more major effects on the game. Normal Fouls are caused by stopping a movement of a player on the opposing team who is not holding the ball or most commonly reaching over a player on the opposite team who is holding the ball and “knocking him down”. Normal fouls' consequences include the defensive player (most commonly) to back up one meter and not press the person with
"runners" to their boats and, with borrowed hockey sticks, played a match with an old lacrosse ball.
The tactical games model is an instructional method for a physical education class, the outline for a tactical game unit is set up as follows. The first step in any Tactical games model is to choose a sport for the class to play, team sports such as basketball or soccer typically work best for this model because they present the players with more tactical situations. Rather than full sized games your class will benefit more from smaller groups and faster paced games, any tactical issues a student is having during the sport will become more apparent this way and therefore easier to address (Pill). Additional adaptations can be made to manipulate the sport to your classes needs such as dimensions of the field, player’s movements, and the games rules (Pill).The Focus of game one is to put your students into challenging situations, by being challenged in the first game the students see areas they are lacking tactical experience. As the teacher your objective during game one is to iden...
The rules help make the game fair to make sure there is no cheating. There are also two referees that are rule experts and make sure all players are following the rules the whole game. Along with the referees down in the arena, there is also an officiating crew in a booth in the stadium. This officiating crew tells the referees if they have missed any calls for cheating and also looks in the rule book for which penalty the player deserves. Some rules are about the jetpack that the players use.
With football coming to life, there had to be a person or multiple people officiating the game to ensure that the players did not break the rules and keep the playing field even. When any sport comes to my mind, the first thing that comes to my mind is the players, then the game and then the people that are reffing the game. When the game of football is fully laid out, the persons who determine the game and keep it in line are always going to be cautious on what to call. There have been times that, as a referee, you are the one that can make or break the game. The referee has a very simple job, to make sure the game goes well and that the game is played correctly.
In fact, versions of the game were played so long ago that a definite origin of the game cannot be determined. Due to the expense of owning and training the best horses, it was primarily nobles who played the game. Because of this, polo was spread as nations conquered others, and it disappeared in areas as noble classes died. Thus, the game was often born and reborn in so many versions that the term polo (translated from several ancient and modern languages) grew to encompass a wide variety of games involving a stick, ball and players on horseback. Many historians will trace polo’s roots back to Persia (modern day Iran), where the game developed from its most raw and dangerous form.
Technology is changing everything around us including our sports. With modern technology now, we can implement it into our professional sports to make the games fair. Instant replay is the most important luxury in our sports today. It allows officials and the fans to look back at the recent play and decide if the correct call was made. Not all sports have implemented it into its rules yet. The commissioners of America’s favorite sports are discussing the rules of instant replay and are including the use of it into the sports. Instant replays are the most accurate source for officials to use, and should be used in all professional sporting events. A con to having instant replays in any sporting event is that it takes away human error which can be seen as defacing sports. Although using instant replays in professional sports makes the game longer, it is great for the officials to use instant replays because there will not be wrong calls made in baseball, football, and hockey.
Shouts can be heard everywhere on and off the court. On the court, teammates shout to one another, ordering sets and spikes, working hard for the next point. Off the court, kids celebrate the well-constructed plays of others and claim rights to the next match. At the end of each game, winners run swiftly to the adjacent beach for a swim, while losers meander sullenly to a drinking fountain housed under an elevated shelter. It is only seconds before new games begin, and the cycle begins again.
Scoring is not complicated at all. After winning the first point, no matter if the Server or the Receiver wins, his score is fifteen. Then, when a player wins his second point, he has a score of thirty. A third point makes the score forty. The fourth point wins the game. In addition, the score is called deuce if both players have scored three points. The first player to score two consecutive points will win the game. Most matches are played the best out of five sets. In a set, the first player to win six games wins that set if he is up by two games.
Learning the basic rules and positions of tennis is one of the most important skills that are needed to play the game. It is crucial to have a basic understanding of the point system when playing tennis. When there is one person playing per team, it is called singles. In singles, the ball has to be played within the first set of white lines. Each player had free roam of the tennis
Firstly, technical fouls are achieved by verbally abusing other players or taunting them. For example, Draymond Green consistently has one of the highest
Two teams of eleven players each participate in getting the ball into the other team’s goal, thus scoring a goal. The team that has scored more goals at the end of the game wins. If both teams have scored an equal number of goals, then the game is a tie. Each team is controlled by a captain. In game play, players make an effort to create goal scoring occasions through individual control of the ball, such as dribbling, passing the ball to a team-mate, and by taking shots at the goal, that is guarded by the goalkeeper belonging to the other team....

Variations of games similar to rugby can be found throughout history, even dating back to the twelfth century. There was even an attempt to ban these types of games. In some cases, like in England, King Edward II issued an edict that formally banned the games. This would only prove to be temporary. Until 1845, rules were often agreed upon before the contest began and could change slightly with each contest. It was not until the year 1845 that rules were officially established that distinguished the game from other forms at Rugby School by three young men. Rugby derives its name from this since three boys attending this institution first established rule defining the sport. William Webb-Ellis is also attributed to helping evolve the game to present day form. It is rumored that during a match in 1823, he picked up the ball and began to run with it. His alleged disregard for the rules helped in fact to define what would be a future rule of the sport.
When organized swimming formed, it wasn’t until the 1800’s to the 1900’s that it become a solid thing to be seen within swimming groups, or associations, such as the Amateur Swimming Association which had been created in the year 1886.

Any form of competitive swimming did not appear until the 1800s in Europe when schools accepted swimming as a natural part of life education. In the 18th and 19th century it became a competitive sport than being just a life saving skill. Swimming teams and clubs started to evolve all over the world. Although England was the first country to have an inside pool they aren’t one of the first countries of all times , China, Germany and Sweden were the first countries in swimming history. England and also invented the side stroke and after this one the freestyle evolved. Although there aren’t swimming competitions of side stroke it’s also known as a global stroke. In this essay I’m going to explain the changes of swimming for example the technology in swimming pools, the changes in bodies of the people that swam and more.
