Comparison of officials in 2 sports – Roles and Responsibilities Unit 2 – Practical sport

D1 = a) Compare and contrast the officials from football and basketball  How are they similar / different? Yes/ no? why?  Do they do the same roles / responsibilities – yes / no? how and why? b) How could each sport be improved in terms of: 1. Rules & regulations 2. Roles & responsibilities of the officials 3. Scoring systems

Officials roles: Football and basketball officials all do the same roles but how they perform these roles is where they differ at times. (provide sports examples for your answers e.g. the official that does this) 1. Arbiter = Same……how & why? 2. Judge = different …how & why? 3. Professional = same …. how &why? 4. Communicator = same …how & why? 5. Presenter = different … how & why? 6. Safety officer = same …. how & why? 7. Score / time keeper = different ……how & why?

Officials responsibilities: Football and basketball officials all have the same responsibilities but how they perform these responsibilities is where they differ at times. (provide sports examples for your answers e.g. the official that does this) 1. Apply the rules = Same……how & why? 2. Health & safety = different …how & why? 3. Fitness (physical / mental) = same …. how &why? 4. Keep up to date = same …how & why? 5. Communicate info = same … how & why? 6. Establish relationships = same ……how & why?

How could each sport (football / basketball) be improved in terms of: 1. Rules & regulations 2. Roles & responsibilities of the officials 3. Scoring systems  Explain 1-2 changes in the rules / regulations / roles and responsibilities of officials and scoring systems you would introduce for each sport to improve that game.

1. Compare & contrast the officials from football and basketball - create essay (comparison of officials in 2 sports – football / basketball) 2. Improving rules, regulations and scoring systems of each sport essay. Next lesson – Tuesday Week A
