Analysis of the history of ball sports

Sports are one of the important topics that are still included a sub-topic in the school curricula. Ball sports are considered one of the most important sports in our societies today because of their wide and enthusiastic audience. The aim of the study was to analyze the history of ball games, namely football, handball, basketball and volleyball, and to study them as a general historical follow-up study with a simple initial formula. It was also aimed to study the importance of sports to humans. There is a close relationship between ball games and environmental conditions. The place and the climate had an impact on the discovery of some of these games. Some of them have a wide and likable audience, and some were practiced by a certain aristocracy, and had an ethnic influence on their practice because of their popularity. Others derived from a second game played with new atmospheres and new laws. As long as there is a development in human life in general and in the sports fields in particular, we will find that sports are required and renewed, and this development must result in the discovery of new games, which in turn will enter the competitive fields

Playing into gender stereotyping in a preschool theatre production

Imagine that you are seated in a school hall in a middle to lower socio-economic residential area. The lights are slowly dimmed and the music starts. You are the parent to a five year old, soon to perform in his first nursery school play. The curtain rises and the group of five-year-old boys sway to the music of a popular Afrikaans song, “Leeuloop,” (translated as “lion walk”) that celebrates rugby, a nationally popular sport, but also other male dominated ball sports

A visual programming language for soccer

The use of Information Technologies (IT) in high competition sports is an instrument often used. However, the majority of the performers, including technical teams, do not have skills to program those IT tools to their needs. In this paper we present the low level implementation of a visual programming language (VPL) that allows the user without programming expertise to produce relatively complex programs by drawing them on a web application. The VPL tool application is illustrated by applying it to detect programmed situations from a soccer game, using previously obtained tracking data. The tool can be applied to other collective ball sports
