Module D: Lesson 3
Grade 12 Active, Active Healthy Lifestyles
Introduction
All societies in the world are governed by a set of rules that have been decided upon by the society as a whole, their elected representatives, or the rulers of that society. These rules, known as the laws of the land, are necessary so that anarchy does not take hold.
In many instances, sport serves as a microcosm of society. It is necessary to have guidelines, rules, or regulations of the way a sport is to be played. These rules are pliable but become less flexible as sport moves from recreational physical activity to formal structures, such as sports leagues. It is essential that all teams involved at similar levels play by the same set of regulations. Even at the elite or professional level, however, opportunities must be available to change the rules of sport, whether by popular demand, for safety reasons, or for spectator and participant appeal.
The rules of sport, like the rules of society, are meant to satisfy the needs of the participants and spectators, and must be seen to be fair, equitable, and judicious; that is, they must include a set of consequences/penalties for a hierarchy of transgressions or deviant behaviour.
