Project+1-History+of+a+Sport

History of Sports Project Project is due: Tuesday, September 7th at the end of class. You will place a copy of your presentation into the Sports Marketing folder in Mrs. Cuellar's "drop folder." Make certain that the PowerPoint file name includes your student name. Be prepared to discuss your findings with the class.

Choose a sport and research the history and information about the sport and prepare a power point presentation about your findings. You will draw the name of a sport from a hat. You may exchange with another student; however, no more than two people may do the same sport and you may not work together. Your presentation should include pictures and the following information:
 * History of the sport ( may be several slides)
 * How the sport is played/Rules of the sport
 * Playing field/court/facilities
 * Number of players during a game
 * How has technology changed the way we play/view this sport
 * Governing Bodies and legislation that impacts the sport
 * Major events/how are they broadcast?
 * Interesting facts – both historical and current
 * Major contenders now (tops in their fields)
