Team Football, Lacrosse, Rugby, Soccer, And American Football

Soccer vs Football Two of the biggest sports in the world go by the same name “Football”. Early evidence of soccer being played as a sport appeared in China during the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. In China, it was during the Han dynasty that people dribbled leather balls by kicking it into a small net. Football as well as soccer are believed to have descended from the ancient Greek game of Harpaston which was a form of game played in the Roman Empire.

In touch football the ball is passed between the attacking team to players that are onside, who will run or move

Teamwork is a key skill that everyone should have installed in them at a young age.The brain of a child is like a sponge, they absorb everything and use it in the future. Playing football is not an individual sport unlike competitive swim or boxing, when playing a sport heavy contact or not as a team a child learns to work with others to achieve a common goal of winning or advancing. Children become cooperative and have the ability to collaborate with others making them more resourceful and beneficial in any real life situation. According to live strong representative and author of article “Benefits of Teamworks in Sports” Wade Harle, stated “ Teamwork in sports can help give participants stronger communication skills and teach them to work better with others. Additional advantages to teamwork in sports are learning to deal with conflict and varieties of different ideas within a team.” As the young child grows and prospers into a young adult having the teamwork ability and characteristic will only gain them the upper hand when applying for jobs, working on projects and in life commitments and relationships.

Many people are excellent at showing sportsmanship and teamwork while playing a sport or in their everyday life. Morelia Sanchez was definitely one of them. Morelia played lacrosse in her sophomore year at Kennedy High School. I interviewed her about her definition of sportsmanship and teamwork, and also how she uses them in her everyday life. Morelia’s definition of sportsmanship is to make an effort and give it your all (and hopefully win). “Knowing how to lose is also important when playing any sport” she says as we all experience losing at one point or another. Teamwork also plays a big role when playing any sport. Morelia explained that teamwork to her is getting along with her teammates, as well as trying to have a good communication

It is evident after high school and post secondary education, a graduate will seek specialized employment, focusing on his or her educated skills. Furthermore, this sought after job will require an interview that, an athlete will be prepared for. Athletes will be an automatic higher qualified candidate than those who have not participated in sports, as they have prior experience in team atmospheres and constructive work. A study conducted by the University of Stirling showed that student athletes who can demonstrate, apply and maintain the skills he or she learned while playing sports are over twenty-one percent more employable compared to the non-participating individual. This study proves winning isn’t everything while playing a

Baseball, football, hockey, and soccer, all of these sports are American past times. Most have their favorite teams in which they follow and some even tail gate at their games. Then you also have your die-hard fans who get dressed up in the team colors and according to team name or mascot. In some cases like that of Red skin fans that sometimes include fans appropriating Native Americans by wearing red face paint, head dresses, and war paint. In recent years the Red Skins and other sports teams have received back lash from the Native American communities demanding that they change their name and mascot due its racial insensitivity and stereotyping of the Native American people. Some will debate that sport team names and mascots like that of the Red Skins, Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves or the Chicago Blackhawks are not offensive but in my personal opinion Pro sports teams should not be allowed to continue to appropriate race or culture.

This sport came from England, and it is called “Football”. Soccer is a Team Sport. Basically consist in playing two teams, one against the other one. This sport is considered the most popular in the world, since there are 270 million of people that play this sport, either in a club or just for fun. In the field, there are 11 players of each team and some referees that are tasked to make the rules be respected and done correctly and in this way the match would be played in the best way possible, there are also many other players of each team outside the .

High School sports have an enormous impact on athletes lives. Many benefits are received both on and off the field. Such activities increase health, academic and social performances, along with teaching life lessons and skills, human interaction skills and much more. There is also a direct relationship between sports and academic participation and success. Through high school sports, the athlete also develops unbreakable bonds with teammates the would be impossible to acquire without all of the sacrifices teammates endure together.

Sport is incredible in how it can increase confidence, self-esteem, and overall health while teaching children a new ability of working with others as a team, taking direction, and doing things they never thought possible. I want to be able to show what sports is capable of teaching and the rewards that come along with it. The concept of team reveals what is achievable through solidarity that would be impossible in solitary.

Rugby is a very popular sport in England that is best known to have been born in 1873, when William Webb Ellis, with fine disregard for the rules of soccer, considering the fact that soccer rules hadn’t even really taken serious yet anyways, was playing soccer at rugby school where he attended, when he took off with the ball in his hands, thus originating the distinctive feature of the Rugby Game. This is also the explanation of why the Rugby world is called the “William Webb Ellis Trophy.”

A big similarity with rugby and football is the way you score. In rugby and football the players have to get to the end zone. Most players for the two sports run the ball into the end zone. Running to the end zone is how you score. The score differential is a little different, but for the most part it’s the same scoring method.

Team sports for example not only provide physical activity for children. They also introduce them to the meaning of “teamwork” and ability

This directly translates into their studies and their lives. In these team sports, success or failure in competition depends on many variables. When these variables align through effective teamwork a successful play emerges as the teammates work together through coordination, communication and cohesion in training to achieve this result. Everyone has a role in the team and is expected to execute their task effectively. Any sort of individualism proves detrimental to the team as we all know, there is no “I” in

One reason is that soccer teaches teamwork. Each position has a specific job. Forwards have the responsibility of scoring goals. The fullbacks’ job is defense, and the halfbacks assist both forwards and fullbacks. Defense of the goal is the duty of the goalie. In order to win all must do their jobs well and rely on each other for help.

Americans enjoy their sports. Watching, playing and cheering for a favorite team is all part of American culture. More than 36 million kids ages 5 -18 years old play an organized sport each year. Football being the most popular high school sport with more than 1.2 million players each year, while the number of high schoolers playing soccer is 286,000. With so many youth participating in organized sports each year, coaches are playing a key role in the lives of their athletes (Seth, "Youth Sports Participation Statistics"). Being successful in a sport does not just require work on the athlete’s part but also a coach willing to do what it takes to impact the player. Coaches have an opportunity to teach many lessons to their players including
