    Soccer and Racial Integration

    No full text
    Sport can fully integrate the individual into a different reality from the daily one burdened with many problems, by transferring it on an equality and equity level towards socialization and solidarity. Soccer represents a life and social metaphor. Thanks to it we learn the meaning of playing in a team, feeling part of a group, and then of a community. The ethical values conveyed through the practice of soccer, and through sports in general, such as loyalty, team spirit, respect for rules and for the opponent, offer the possibility to break down the barriers of disability and mistrust by promoting genuine interests in what is alternative to our way of being and living. Soccer as a sport discipline is a strong element of aggregation and connection, able to spread and help people understand a cultural perspective based on respect, integration and ability to recognize and self-recognize as members of the same community

    Caring for grassroots is a priority the UEFA, in line with the thought that the élite football cannot be successful without a solid foundation, and in the light of the fact that football must be open to all. UEFA’s commitment in developing and cultivating the technical sector of the European football has borne fruit over the years, with the result that the governance of the European football has established new and meaningful standards, in collaboration with its 54 member federations. Among the activities carried out by the UEFA, considerable emphasis is attached to the following aspects: football training activities; development and training of coaches; analysis of tactical and technical trends in the UEFA elite football and in youth competitions; care for grassroots; services provided to young football players in a growth phase

    Special didactics in the postural stability of young players

    Previous research has evaluated the training effect of soccer, in adolescence on postural control through the use of a strong platform for the detection of the Center of pressure (COP); this research, however, showed only how soccer. unlike other sports or sedentary subjects, would improve postural stability during adolescence before a man’s normal biological development. However, the meaning of this potential can be given by the abilities developed through this sport, or by its training/situations that facilitate the learning process. This further research on the influence of soccer training on postural control will have to search specifically for the factors that lead to a greater postural control; therefore, the project concerns the experiencing of two different training methodologies on 2 groups of children aged between 6-7 years, who will be offered their training program for 5 years and, at the beginning/end of every year / training cycle assessments will be made through a strength springboard of the COP in order to evaluate the postural stability of children. The educational applications will be made according to the cognitive and prescriptive teaching approach or that of eco-dynamic and heuristic learning type, with the aim of highlighting what type of methodological approach in soccer will lead to a greater postural control in adolescence in order to obtain additional data that can contribute to Peterson’s research (2006) on the variables that influence the postural control during the adolescence

    The organization and development of youth soccer is entrusted by the F.I.G.C. to the Juvenile and Scholastic Activity sector, which promotes, regulates and organizes the activity of young players aged between five and sixteen years with technical, educational and social purposes. The structure of the Sector and the organization of its activities is aimed at the development of the technical and tactical abilities, but also at the physical and intellectual growth and training of young players

    Football and re-education of young guys

    Football, practiced by young guys in the prisons, is an important element of rehabilitative treatment and prevention of recidivism, offering a different dimension of space, circumscribed and controlled in itself. The prison, a closed and indigent place par excellence, is a challenge of great impact for the education of children through sports. Football activity supports the development and reintegration of minors at both individual and social level; playing sports in the period of puberty and adolescence involves many benefits that support the person’s welfare, physical health and psychological/relational balance. The study of the rehabilitative factors contributes to improving the quality of life, the promotion of social relationships based on supporting and disseminating a culture based on respect for rules and common life

    Didactics of Football and Periodization: Preliminary Study

    Football is a situational sport, it is subject to many variables depending on the field, the opponents, the teammates and the presence of the ball. For this sport, the aspects that concern significantly training are the conditional or organic-muscular and technical-tactical ones. The study is based on the theory of periodization, which consists in dividing the training year into time intervals with clearly defined goals to be achieved in each period. The study was carried out on 2 male subjects of 22 years old, belonging to a senior football club playing in the College Championship, through the use of the Maximum Strength test, the endurance test, the Cooper test, and the psychometric and body circumferences detection which determined the assessment and performance improvements in the different periodization phases. The study focuses on the collection of data obtained following the typical scheme of a training session with the methodology of periodization. Periodization was originally proposed by Tudor Bomba and constitutes a methodological approach aimed at achieving the training objectives necessary for pre-determined agonistic levels. Periodization is governed by the principle of progressivity of load and of physiological adaptation. The exercises proposed in strength training aim at reproducing the real motor execution model of football that needs to be performed repeatedly, so as to enhance learning according to the cognitive approach with prescriptive teaching based on specific orders. The imitation of the technical skills involves the muscle chain, just like that used in the real technical performance of sports skills. So the training exercises and methods must aim at reproducing movements and conditions just like in a match, so that the same discharges in motoneurons are reproduced to express the same athletic gestures with high power and speed. The objective of the study is to assess the conditional improvements after the training period, and the evaluation of the moment of peak performance during the competitive period under evaluation
