The History Of Football

The belief that new facilities bring in better recruits was tested by the research into the subject. Although new facilities did attract more initial interest from recruits (Schneider, 2012) the final decision about which school to attend came down to other different factors. In the study of “The impact of Athletic Faculties on the Recruitment of Student Athletes” college athletic prospects were asked why they choose the college they did. With factors such as playing time, location, tradition, education, facilities, teammates, and school color to name a few, the results were as follows. Non-Scholarship athletes that had no option to receive finical aid from the school they planned on attending, like the ones in division III, had top five factors of 1) playing time, 2) social life, 3) Education, 4) Location and 5) Financial Aid. Not until after the top ten did weight room and locker rooms came into effect. In another study it was shown that scholarship athletes in Division I were motivated by completion and achievement, while in division III the main motivator to play was the “experience” or the social

The game of soccer has been around for thousands of years. At first it was not soccer at all until it morphed into a beautiful game. Although the creation of a rubber ball and a mob game in Mexico/Central america originated in the 600-1600, and the game of calcio was recorded in which might have became what we know call soccer. It all started in Ancient China around 2,000 years ago with a animal-hide ball. The English transitioned the game and recorded the first uniform rules for the sport. The first rules forbidden tripping opponents or touching the ball with hands. The Penalty kick wasn't brought into soccer until 1891. 22 years later, in 1913, FIFA became a member of the international Football association board of Great Britain.

In the mid-late 1800s, the US was in an awkward place where finally, for an extended period of time, they were not at war with anyone. Americans could go home and not have to worry about sending their boys off to the army or navy in order to preserve their nation. However it was strange due to the fact that Americans did not yet have an identity, a true American culture. The free time given to them was met with revelation and the realization of things needing to be created in the US not only to serve as something to do and look forward to but also a social event and get together. Things like baseball started to really catch a flame, however more was needed to bring the country together, something more exciting. Finally, a man named Walter Camp

For decades, the National Football League has entertained Americans. Through this organization, football has quickly become one of our nation’s greatest pastimes. With exploration of the league, expansion teams are becoming a more popular idea. Which means, not only us, but also our brothers across the pond may soon share our excitement every Sports Sunday in the very near future. Although this would be the NFL’s first international team, it would not be their first international game. Exploration into the United Kingdom has come with some logistical problems but with NFL executives having board meetings regularly, there is a possibility to have a team in London as early as 2022.

One of the biggest additions is the New Gym. It definitely is one of the best gym in our school it was built not to long ago in 2006. It cost GICC around 3.2 Millions dollars now that's a boatload of money for a New Gym. But we do use it all the time for just about anything. We use our New Gym for “The Night”, for practice and of course volleyball and basketball games. Thee New Gym has had a huge impact on us but that’s not the only thing that has been built. Just last year we got brand new lockers and boy are those great. We got new lockers because the asbestos was in the lockers. It could cause cancer so we needed to get those out immediately . I think i speak for everybody when I say They are great. Another great thing about GICC is our

If you think our decade is interesting then you will find that the 1960’s is interesting too. Many people with the 1960’s thought that they were standing at the edge of a golden age (History). In 1961 John F. Kennedy became president of the United States (History). On October 1, 1962, James H. Meredith becomes the first black student to attend the University of Mississippi (United States). rissom, Edward White, and Roger Chaffee died during a simulated launch exercise on January 27, 1967 (United States Census).

Have you ever wondered how the sport of football ever got started? Well, it  is believed to have began in Ancient Greece from the game harpaston. The rules of harpaston was to cross a goal line, running with a ball, and stopping a player from crossing the goal line by tackling just like American Football. Unlike football (american), harpaston lacked a lot of rules like field length and number of players. It is also believed by many that football may have originated from England in the mid 1200’s when Henry IV was in power. Football ended up becoming such a success in England that King Henry temporarily banned the sport for distracting the English citizens from the traditional English sports like archery. (Football wasn’t even considered a sport until the

The birth date of football in the United States is November 6, 1869, when teams from Rutgers and Princeton University met for the first intercollegiate football game. The game of football has a history of many rule changes. Rule changes have been brought on to give the excitement of the game of football and to increase the game of safety. Within a decade, concern over the increasing brutality of the game led to its ban by some colleges. Nearly 180 players had suffered serious injuries. At a meeting between the schools, reform was agreed upon, and a second meeting, attended by more than sixty other schools, the group appointed a seven member Rules Committee and set up what would later become known as the National Collegiate Athletic Association. From this committee came the legalization of the forward pass, which resulted in a redesign of the ball and a more open style of play on the field. The length of the teams by the length of the ball before each play begins, was also established. But was that enough? When they made these rules, colleges were the only ones playing. As time goes on, younger generations have become interested in the sport. Football is proven to be too dangerous because of high risk of concussion, false safety gear protection, and long lasting effects.

It was about time, the game was about to start. The stands were all filled up, people lined up outside to see the game. The players were out in right field practicing in the freshly grown emerald green grass. “Just 10 minutes until the game starts!” excitedly said the commentator.

As I look out onto the field I can feel the energy building. I see the bright green that is the football field and I can smell the freshly popped popcorn coming from the concession stand. When I look to my right I can see the giant screen that displays the players practicing and even shows some of the students dancing along to the music that plays in the background. I realize that even before the game actually begins the students are already having the best time

Research shows that soccer is the world’s most popular sport. Many people might not realize that soccer is the most important sport played in the world. Billions of people watch the telecasted national teams from countries around the globe compete for the World Cup. The history of

The boisterous music is blasting while our coach and the captains try to have some thoughts about the game. “Turn the music off guys, it’s time for our speech”, he shouted across the locker rooms. Everyone went forward to the board while he stand and waited for his team to listen. While he went over our goal for the day and tell us that we shouldn’t play below our standard there is a look on each player face like they are ready and prepare for anything to happen on the field. After that motivation speech we all tuck our shirt in our shorts and simultaneously lace our shoes.

The history of football is interesting as well as exciting, from the first forms of the game ever played, to the multi million dollar organizations of today. The game continues to evolve and change with the times.
