1 INTRODUCTION
My school based assignment for Physical Education and sports instructs
the students of the form 5 to host and competition on their own and have each student with a specific role. They are required to raise funds for prizes, advertise, and take control of each game.
Football was chosen because it is one of the world’s most played and liked sports of all time.
For the SBA the students all got different roles and were ask to look up their roles and see that it was complete and do what they were asked to do.
While the tournament was on its way each student was required to carry out they role and write a report on what happen during the event. My role was the Equipment Manager.

3 RULES/LAW OF THE GAME
Law 1: The Field of Play
Soccer can be played on either grass or artificial turf, but the surface must be green in color. The field must be rectangular in shape, and distinctly marked by two short goal lines and two long-touch lines. The field is divided into halves, separated by the halfway line, which runs from the midpoints of each touchline. At the midpoint of the halfway line is a marked center point surrounded by a lined center circle with a radius of 10 yards. Opposing players are not allowed to enter this circle during the possessing team’s kick-off. The length of the touch line must be greater than the length of the goal line.
Regulation lengths are:
Touch line: Minimum 90 meters (100 yards), maximum 120
meters (130 yards) Width (goal line): Minimum 45 m (50 yds), maximum 90 m (100 yds). At each end of the field is an eight-yard-wide goal centered along the goal line. Six yards from each goal post along the goal line and six yards out into the field (perpendicular to the goal line) is the goal box. Extending 18 yards from each goal post along the goal line and 18 yards out into the field (perpendicular to the goal line) is the penalty box. In each of the four corners of the field is a five-foot-high corner flag.
Law 2: The Ball
A soccer ball must be spherical in shape and made of leather or
another comparable medium. Its circumference must be in the range of 27 to 28 inches. This rule is only applicable for official sanctioned matches, as youth leagues often employ the use of a smaller ball that is better suited to children.
4 Law 3: The Number of Players
Matches are generally played by two teams of 11 to a side. The
goalkeeper is included in the 11-player total. If a team cannot field at least seven players at match time, the game is a forfeit. Teams of fewer than 11 a side can often be seen in youth leagues where smaller teams are used as a developmental tool. FIFA-sanctioned matches are generally limited to three substitutions per match, with the exception of friendly matches. Most youth leagues allow an unlimited number of substitutions, which must also be listed on the game card prior to the beginning of the match, otherwise those players are ineligible. Substitutions may only enter at the halfway line, upon the referee’s approval, and after the player being subbed out has left the pitch. The goalkeeper may be substituted with anyone on the pitch or any eligible substitute on the bench during a game stoppage.
Law 4: The Players’ Equipment
All players are required to wear a jersey, shorts, shin guards, socks and cleats. The socks must cover the shin guards entirely. If the referee deems a player’s equipment unsatisfactory, the player can be sent off until the issue is remedied.
Law 5: The Referee
The referee is the authority on the field, and his word is law. If you question a referee’s decision, you can be disciplined further simply for dissent.
Law 6: The Assistant Referees
The assistant referees are primarily responsible for assisting the
referee in performing his duties – this includes signaling with a flag when a ball goes of play, when a player is fouled, or when a player is in an offside position.
5 Law 7: The Duration of the Match
A soccer match is comprised of two 45-minute halves, with extra time
added for each at the referee’s discretion. The halves are separated by a half-time period not to exceed 15 minutes. The extra time generally corresponds with the referee’s determination of how much time was taken up due to substitutions and injuries. The amount of extra time is announced and displayed at the half line at the end of each 45-minute period. Although soccer does have an allotted time limit, it is ultimately up to the referee’s as to when to end a match.
Law 8: The Start and Restart of Play
Kick-off is generally determined by a coin toss, whereby the winning
team can either choose to start with the ball or choose which goal they would like to attack. The losing team is then afforded whatever choice the winner does not elect to take. Kick-off occurs at the start of each half, and after each goal scored, and is taken at the center of the halfway line. If a team scores a goal, the opposing team is given the kick-off to restart the match.
Law 9: The Ball In and Out of Play
The ball is out of play when it fully crosses either the goal line or the touch line. It is also out of play if the referee stops play for any reason. If, for any reason, the ball strikes the frame of the goal or the referee and remains within the goal and touch lines, it is still in play
Law 10: The Method of Scoring
A goal is scored when the entire ball has crossed the goal line within the frame of the goal. At the end of the match, the team with the most goals is the winner, barring the circumstantial necessity for extra time.
6 Law 11: Offside
When an attacking player receives the ball while on his opponents half, he must be level or behind the second to last defender (the last typically being the goalkeeper). However, this rule only applies if he is involved with the play. To get a better understanding of the offside rule, please see the guide section for a more detailed explanation.
Law 12: Fouls and Misconduct
A direct free kick is awarded when a player:
Kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
Trips or attempts to trip an opponent Jumps at an opponent Charges an opponent Strikes or attempts to strike an opponent Pushes an opponent Tackles an opponent Holds an opponent Spits at an opponent Handles the ball deliberately
If any of these are fouls are committed by a player in their team’s
penalty area, the opposing team is awarded a penalty kick. Indirect free kicks are awarded if a player:
Plays in a dangerous manner
Impedes the progress of an opponent Prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his/her hands Commits any other unmentioned offense
Yellow cards are awarded as a caution or warning to a player and can
be issued for the following offenses:
Unsporting behavior Dissent by word or action Persistent infringement of the Laws of the Game Delaying the restart of play Failure to respect the required distance when play is restarted with a corner kick,free kick, or throw-in Entering or re-entering the field of play without the referee’s permission deliberately leaving the field of play without the referee’s permission
Red cards are used to send a player off the field, and can be issued for the following offenses:
Serious foul play
Violent conduct Spitting at an opponent or any other person Denying the opposing team a goal or an obvious goal-scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball (the goalkeeper being an exception) Denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity to an opponent moving towards the player’s goal by an offense punishable by a free kick or a penalty kick Using offensive or abusive language and/or gestures Receiving a second caution (yellow card) in the same match Law 13: Free Kicks
Free Kick is broken into two categories, direct and indirect. A
direct kick can be shot directly into the opponent’s goal without touching another player. An indirect free kick is indicated by the referee raising his hand during the kick. An indirect kick can only go into the goal if it has subsequently been touched by another player before it enters the goal. The ball must be stationary for both types of kicks.
Law 14: The Penalty Kick
A penalty kick is awarded either when a defensive player fouls an attacking player or commits a handball in his/her team’s penalty area. The penalty kick is placed at the penalty spot, and all players on both teams must remain outside the penalty box during the shot. They may enter the box immediately after the shot is taken. The goalkeeper may move horizontally along the goal line before the shot is taken, but he may not come off the line until the ball is struck.
7 Law 15: The Throw-In A throw-in is awarded when the possessing team plays the ball out of bounds over the touchline. While taking a throw-in, a player must release the ball with both hands simultaneously and keep both feet firmly planted on the ground. If these conditions are not met, play is stopped and the throw-in is given to the opposing team. Players are not allowed to score directly off a throw-in.
Law 16: The Goal Kick
A goal kick is awarded when the offensive team plays the ball out of bounds over the defensive team’s goal line. After the ball is out of play, the defender or goalkeeper may place the ball anywhere within the six-yard goal box and kick the ball back into play.
Law 17: The Corner Kick
A corner kick is awarded to the offensive team when the defensive team plays the ball out of bounds over its goal line. The ball is placed within the corner area and is kicked back into play by the offensive team. Players can score directly off a corner kick 8
HISTORY OF FOOTBALL
More than 240 million people around the world play soccer regularly according to the Federation International de Football Association (FIFA). The game has evolved from the sport of kicking a rudimentary animal-hide ball around into the World Cup sport it is today.
Records trace the history of soccer back more than 2,000 years ago to ancient China. Greece, Rome, and parts of Central America also claim to have started the sport; but it was England that transitioned soccer, or what the British and many other people around the world call “football,” into the game we know today. The English are credited with recording the first uniform rules for the sport, including forbidding tripping opponents and touching the ball with hands.
As the sport developed, more rules were implemented and more historical landmarks were set. For example, the penalty kick was introduced in 1891. FIFA became a member of the International Football Association Board of Great Britain in 1913. Red and yellow cards were introduced during the 1970 World Cup finals. More recent major changes include goalkeepers being banned from handling deliberate back passes in 1992 and tackles from behind becoming red-card penalties in 1998.
Some of the top players throughout history include Pele (Edson Arantes Do Nascimento) from Brazil, who scored six goals in the 1958 World Cup and helped Brazil claim its first title; Lev Yashin from Russia, who claimed to have saved more than 150 penalty shots during his outstanding goal-tending career; and Marco Van Basten from Holland, who won several very prestigious soccer awards during one year alone. There are many debates over who the greatest soccer players are of all time; but players like Zinedine Zidane, Diego Maradona, Michel Platini, Lionel Messi, and Roberto Baggio make almost every list. 9
LOCAL HISTORY OF FOOTBALL IN GRENADA
The Grenada national football team, nicknamed the Spice Boys, is controlled by the Grenada football federation, which was founded in 1924.
There are 26 football clubs in the country and in spite of the fact that Grenadian football has a long history, their national tournament has been held since 1996 and became regular since 1998.
Grenada national team has never qualified for the World Cup but twice finished runner-up at the Caribbean Cup, in 1989 and in 2008. In 2009 they qualified for the CONCACAF Gold Cup, but were knocked out at the first stage. In 2010 Grenada ended Caribbean championship on the forth place.
The team’s biggest ever win was against Anguilla 14-1 and in 1999 they suffered 7-0 loss to Trinidad & Tobago. 10

16 APPENDIX
17 CONCLUSION
At the end of the tournament the students of the form 5 as well as the participating teams. All got a better understanding of the sport football through the five (5) aside football competition that was held at Wesley College at queens park St. George’s. The competition was a great success thanks to the hard work of the teams and my physical education members. I believe that all the participant and members of the staff all enjoyed the tournament.
