James Naismith and the History of Basketball

James Naismith left many diaries and interviews that explain how and when he created basketball. Massachusetts had cold winters, and people wanted a game that could be played inside. Naismith was a Canadian teacher, born in Almonte, Ontario on the 16th of November, 1861. Naismith was an orphan from early in his life, and his uncle led him to study Hebraism and philosophy, to train to become a priest. He graduated from McGill University, Montreal, in 1887 (it was the first graduation of eleven), but at the college he discovered sports: he played in the rugby team for eight years, even when he studied at the Presbyterian College in Montreal. But he dropped out in 1890, to become a teacher at the International Young Mens Christian Association Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts.

Soccer Camp Physicals

If you’re not a seasoned veteran when it comes to sports and kids, you might be wondering why your child needs a soccer physical, where you should get one and why schools and coaches require them. We’re here to help you understand.

States Require Soccer Physicals

Many states require sports physicals as a precondition to participation on a sports team. Part of the reason behind these laws is the frightening, yet rare reality of student athletes passing away during sporting contests. You can get a soccer physical for your child at your school nurse’s office, from your doctor or at an urgent care facility.

Sports physicals help ensure that children are physically able to endure the strenuous activity required in many sports. If your child has a preexisting condition that makes him unfit for strenuous physical activity, not getting a soccer physical could put his health and well being in jeopardy.
