Local and National Provision
Local and National Provision The sport I have chosen to examine for the local and national provision investigation is football. Football became known in the middle ages when there was a sudden rise in popularity of annual football matches within Europe, particularly England. Many people including my self started playing football at a young age and have gone through the grassroots in their local area. Grassroots development Grassroots development is an organization which helps kids get involved with sport from a young age. There is an organization which does this in a lot of country's around the world for a lot of sports. Football, the most popular sport in the world is run by a National Governing Body. In Britain this National Governing Body is called the Football Association or the FA. The FA have many ways to influence young kids to take an active part in football. A popular way is through sporting heroes such as David Beckham. Kids see Beckham as an icon and immediately want to follow in his footsteps which makes them take up the sport themselves. The FA are doing many things to help young kids take an interest in football. Children now have many options as to where they play football, whether it be for their school or a club. There are now 38,000 teams across England providing opportunities in every community. It is not just the FA which helps young people get

Local and National Provision for football Warren Vessey Word count 976 Introduction By the end of this essay I hope to tell you about all the local provision there is in the area. Also how talented footballers are selected for youth academies and professional teams. I hope to explain the opportunities there are in the area to play football in a team and how to be selected into regional then national teams. The progress of a talented footballer to reach the big heights of professional football is a long and cruel path full of obstacles and setbacks. It all begins in the backyard or playing in the street as a little kid who is just finding how fun it is to kick a round leather ball filled with air. This is where the learning of the basic skill of playing football and the technique used to kick the ball through massed practiced learning. Talking from experience active kids like I was at that age was always out playing football either down the local playing field with my mates or playing in the back yard with my brother. Here is where I learnt to develop my skill and refine in a way I could make it better than other people. In football you do need to develop team working skills but also have a great self determination to better yourself and practice hard so your skill has developed more than your mates has. If you want to succeed in the harsh game of football you have get

Local and National Provision Introduction In this investigation I will charter the progress of a talented performer, throughout the said performers career, allowing me to analyse the development of the performer from grass roots to area, county, regional and international level. I will also take into account appropriate provisions and programmed opportunities for both genders and performers with disabilities. At grass roots level the most significant contributor to the access a young performer has to sport is school and this is no different in football. 'Grass-roots' football in the United Kingdom is the responsibility of the 43 County Football Associations. These are independent bodies, which are affiliated to the Football Association, and are responsible for all aspects of the game at local level. One of the key tasks undertaken by County Football Associations is the affiliation of local competitions and leagues, registering players to clubs and the organisation of match officials and the administration of discipline. The County Football associations are now also responsible for the development at local levels, for example organising coaching, Mini-Soccer tournaments, women's' and girl's football and training programmes for referees and first-aiders. The individual county associations are then affiliated to the Football Association. It is the responsibility of the

LOCAL AND NATIONAL PROVISION FOR FOOTBALL Introduction It is estimated that around seventy thousand boys play football, for either a school or club team at each age level between under 11 and under 16, and that over 500 thousand play between the ages of nine to sixteen. It is therefore surprising that that the influx of British players coming through the youth systems, academies and centres of excellence are fairly low. Only 0.6% of the 500 thousand register in the football academies and 1.6% in the centres of excellence. In addition none of the football academies or centres of excellence have taken in the maximum number of young players that their threshold suggests. The purpose of this investigation is to produce an analytical account of the development of sporting excellence within football. Provision from grass roots to national selection and the provision of pathways for participants locally and nationally will be included as well as provision for female and disabled participants. Being the most popular team sport in England it is becoming more important for football teams to bring in 'home-grown' talent to improve morale in sport on a national level. Grass Roots Youth development is the responsibility of the 43 county football associations. These are independent bodies, which are affiliated to the football association and are responsible for all aspects of the game
Local and National Provision For Golf.
Luke Neale Local and National Provision For Golf There is much potential for any junior who wishes to take up golf in Dubai, as there are many championship golf courses such as The Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club and Emirates Golf club, who highly encourage the development of junior golfers, from beginners at grass root level to amateur/professionals. The development of junior golf is highly encouraged through the golf clubs of Dubai themselves and through schemes such as "The Junior Development Programme", JDP. Which is a division of the UGA or U.A.E Golf Association. Through the JDP juniors receive lessons from top golf professionals and automatic entrance to many organised tournaments throughout the different challenging courses of Dubai, for a small fee, although many tournaments have sponsors to help with the financial side of the organisation of these tournaments. From the junior golfers below 16 who participate in the JDP a team of 8 is selected to be in the UAE junior team, which tour other countries. This inspires juniors to practice and get their handicaps as low as possible in knowing that they could be selected for the UAE junior team. However being in an Arab country the team must consist of 5 UAE nationals. Leaving only space for 3 expatriates. However not only junior golf is an aim of development for the UGA. The improvement of adults and beginners to

Physical Education Coursework Local and National provision of Football Grassroots The Football Foundation brings together The F.A, Premier League and Government in a partnership for its funding at grassroots level. This body is designed to fund development of children's football to help them recognise their sporting potential. The F.A put £7million into the Foundation, with the sum certain to rise significantly in the future. The main beneficiaries of initial funding will be projects to develop facilities such as pitches and changing rooms. Mini Soccer is The FA's approved form of football for the under 10s, using small-sided non-competitive games to encourage a fun introduction to football. With no winners or losers, teams play a maximum of 1 hour of football each. The emphasis is on enjoyment and participation. To help encourage good grassroots development the F.A developed a charter. This seeks to reward and encourage good practice so that parents and children can demand a minimum standard of provision from schools, clubs and holiday courses Local provision In my area football is catered for quite well, not because all you need is an empty field and two goals. The main club in my area that encourages football involvement at primary school level is Brentford football club. Brentford have set up schemes such as 'football in the community'. In these schemes coaches' go
Motivation essay
Explain the role of motivation in enhancing a sports performance Motivation features highly in performance levels in the sporting world and often determines an individuals desire to perform. Formal definitions include: (see appendix 1) Motivation can be split into two defining sections, intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation is said to come from within the individual, it bears no reliance on external stimuli and is the performer's inner drive and self - satisfaction. For example an athlete running by themselves around a circuit in their village, trying to beat their previous lap time would be defined as intrinsically motivated. Research has suggested that intrinsic motivation is longer lasting than extrinsic motivation and is therefore encouraged within younger athletes who need to be encouraged to carry on with the sport. This can be seen in 'startrack' athletics sessions where the coach's aim is to produce a fun and exciting course with little or no extrinsic rewards to distract the youngsters starting out in the athletic world. Intrinsically motivated people tend to be introvert and very quiet. These people can be seen running the 10k event at the Olympics (Jo Pavey or Paula Radcliffe) contrasting sharply with those competing in power events such as the pole vault (Yelena Isinbyeva) or the 100m (Asafa Powell). Extrinsic motivation is said to come from outside the
Reaction time
Reaction, Movement & Reaction Reaction time measures a performers ability to sense and interpret information before making a movement in sport, based on perceptual ability. The following shows the relationship between reaction time, movement time and response time for an athletics race. Figure 1 Figure 1 shows us that reaction time is the time between the onset of the stimulus and the onset of the response. There is no movement in reaction time; it is the processing of the stimulus before movement takes place. For example, at the start of the race, the reaction time is the period from hearing the gun until just prior to leaving the blocks. Movement time is the time from the beginning to the completion of the task, so that in my example would be from the first movement until the race is finished. Response time is from the onset of the stimulus to the completion of the task, which in my example is the time from the athlete hearing the gun to finishing the race. Therefore Response time is the sum of Reaction time and Movement Time. In sport, the more choices the performer has to make, the slower the response time will be. A simple reaction time is when a performer needs to react to just one stimulus, which means they know what stimulus is coming and they must react to it, therefore a faster reaction time can be achieved. An example of this is going back to my first example
Respiratory system
Mrs Campbell BTEC Sport 3F Carla Hill Assignment 4 Structure of the respiratory system Nasal Cavity The nose can vary in different shapes, size and colours. The nose is divided into the internal nasal cavity and the external nasal cavity. The two cavities are parted into the left and right cavity. The centre of this is called the nasal septum. When you breathe in, it goes threw the nose, then the air is filtered by little hairs inside the nose which trap dirt and pollen. The walls are covered in tissue inside your nasal cavity are filled with blood vessels. The heat from your blood vessels helps heat up the air that you breathe. Epiglottis This is a small flap like structure which is made of cartilage. It closes the top of the trachea when you swallow food or drink to ensure it doesn't go down into the lungs. Pharynx The pharynx is a tube like structure which connects to the nasal and oral cavities. It is also sometimes called the throat. It is a small tube that is normally around 10-13cm from the base of the skull to the end. It is a tube for food and air so special features allow food to travel down this tube into another opening for food and there is another opening for air. Larynx The larynx is commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the neck which protects the trachea and the sound production. It is also sometime's called 'Adam's apple'. It controls
