WELCOME TO THE 2003-2004 SEASON!!! PLEASE REMEMBER TO REGISTER WITH US FOR INFORMATION AND UPDATES... LARC Home Registration LARC History Match Reports ... Sponsors LARC HISTORY The LOS ANGELES RUGBY CLUB, the second oldest club in the Southern California Rugby Football Union, celebrates its forty-fifth anniversary this year. The Club was founded in 1958 as the Universities Rugby Club. Founding members included former UCLA rugby coach Norm Padgett, plus Al Williams and Dick Hyland, members of the Gold Medal winning 1924 USA Olympic Rugby Team. Los Angeles Rugby Club has contributed extensively to the development of the game of Rugby Union Football on the West Coast. Many teams can trace their beginnings to the direct effort of the Los Angeles R.C. or to former members who have relocated and founded clubs in their respective areas. LARC has regularly supplied the administrators, direction, and momentum for the development of Rugby Union Football on the Pacific Coast. For example, LARC’ers have been officers of: USA RFU (Moneymaker, Ganey); Pacific Coast RFU (Moneymaker); Southern California RFU (Moneymaker, Devine, Farley, Ganey, Ginepra, Holt, Ninegar, Sardell, Wooler, Scott, Jenks, Kelley); Southern California Referees Society (Piggott, Rauch, Ginepra), Dick Moneymaker and Leon Farley, LARC members, worked together for nearly a decade to bring to fruition the United States of America Rugby Football Union in 1976. Their efforts toward this, dating from their days as active players in 1965, began at club meetings, continued at the SCRFU level where all three were officers and were strengthened by the formulation of the only territorial union position paper advocating a national union in 1968.

Gilbert and P. Santilli, AP The 2000 Olympics feature the largest Olympic stadium ever. At a cost of about $400 million to build, Stadium Australia can seat up to 110,000 spectators. Construction began in September 1996 and was completed in March 1999. The stadium's design was inspired by the Australian slouch hat, or akubra. State-of-the-art features enhance the energy efficiency, ventilation and natural lighting. STADIUM CROSS-SECTION ROOF To minimize shadows and patches of direct sunlight on the playing surface, the roof is constructed of 10-metre-square tiles of translucent polycarbonate, separated by stainless steel drainage gutters. CLOSE TO THE ACTION The long jump will be held less than 30 feet from the front row of the lower tier. MODIFICATION AFTER THE GAMES When the Olympics are over, the temporary grandstands at both ends of the stadium will be replaced by roofed grandstands, reducing the stadium's capacity to about 80,000.

ABOUT WATER POLO Women's competition dates: September 16-23, 2000 Men's competition dates: September 23- October 1, 2000 HISTORY There is little documentation as to the origins of water polo. However, we do know that the term "polo" is the English pronunciation of the Indian word "pulu," meaning ball. Just as the ball game played on horseback became known as "polo," the ball game played in water became known as "water polo," although there is no connection whatsoever between the two sports. Water polo made its first appearance at the 1900 Olympic Games, and it has appeared in every Games since then. Prohibited from touching the bottom or side of the pool through four seven-minute quarters, water-polo players swim up to five kilometers in a game. They require the technique and endurance of a champion swimmer, plus a football player's finesse in passing, dribbling and shooting for goal and a rugby player's strength to battle for the ball. The game that evolved into modern water polo began as a form of rugby football played in rivers and lakes with the object to "carry" the ball to the opponent's side.

Although the game certainly existed in some form or another for hundreds of years, according to common lore, the sport of rugby began when William Webb Ellis of Rugby school in England "with a fine disregard for the rules of football, took the ball in his hands and ran with it". It is a highly demanding physical sport, requiring high endurance levels and an ability to absorb a lot of physical contact with only very limited padding allowed by the laws of the game A rugby team consists of 15 players broadly split into two groups, backs and forwards. The forwards generally being the bigger players with more specialized roles in set piece plays and the backs tending to be the faster types. However, once away from the set pieces a player is expected to fit into any role in a highly fluid game. Because of the different requirements for each position, there is a place for a variety of builds and talents on a team.

Beginning in 776 B.C., the Olympic Games were held in the Valley of Olympia in Greece - famous for its magnificent temples of the gods Zeus and Hera - as a religious festival dedicated to the Olympian Gods involving one event, a stade race held over 192 meters. By about 650 B.C., the Ancient Games were held over five days, involving running, wrestling, the pentathlon, horse riding and chariot racing. Participants came to compete from every corner of the Greek world aiming at the ultimate prize - an olive wreath and a "heroic" return to their city-states. Athletes competed in the nude and upon victory were awarded a crown of wild olive leaves. Women and slaves were strictly forbidden to attend the Games under the punishment of death. The Ancient Games were held every four years (an "Olympiad") for almost 1200 years until 393 A.D. when Roman Emperor Theodosius I banned all pagan festivals (the Olympics celebrated the Greek god Zeus). He asserted that the Games placed an excessive public focus on athletic and spiritual affairs and abolished them.

FreeRepublic .com "A Conservative News Forum" Browse ... BBC News ^ Posted on 04/28/2004 7:28:55 AM PDT by Olympic legend Mark Spitz believes security concerns may see the United States withdraw from the Athens Games. Spitz, who won seven swimming golds in 1972, says heightened terrorist fears may prompt drastic action from the US. "I would say that about six months ago it was highly unlikely," Spitz told BBC Five Live. "But each day it becomes more probable than not that ongoing conversations will take place as to how important it is to put athletes in harm's way." A spokesman for the US Olympic Committee said: "Today there is absolutely no consideration given to the notion our team will not be in Athens." But Spitz believes that any US decision to pull out of the Games will come at a late stage, and could trigger a "snowball effect" as other countries follow suit. "We are looking under the microscope at all the different terrorist acts and we know there is a high degree of probability that something could happen in Athens," he said. "Would it be political suicide to send a team there if you were the Bush administration?

The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee was formerly called the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Association The Working Committee was first established in 1946, when it was felt that Trinidad and Tobago, a British Colony at the time, should take part in the quadrennial Olympic Games. This original Committee made up of four member-federations (Athletics, Cycling, Football and Weightlifting) was extended provisional recognition by the International Olympic Committee in 1946, thus Trinidad and Tobago was able to send a Team to the Central American and Caribbean Games held in Barranquilla, Colombia. Formal affiliation to the International Olympic Committee was granted to the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Association at the International Olympic Committee session held in London (1948) on the occasion of the celebration of the 15th Olympic Games. From four affiliates in the year 1948 the number of affiliated National Bodies now number eighteen and govern the sports of Athletics, Rugby, Badminton, Basketball, Bobsleigh Boxing, Cycling, Football, Men and Women's Hockey, Judo, Lawn Tennis, Shooting, Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Volley Ball and Yachting. The General Council of the Committee is composed of one delegate per affiliate, except at the Annual General Meeting, when each affiliate is allowed two delegates.

The Greek athletic games, otherwise commonly recognized as the Panhellenic Games, were an integral part of Greek life. They combined religion, sport, and music into extravagant festivals involving peoples throughout Mediterranean. Not only did they attract thousands of participants and spectators to their venues, but they also promoted solidarity among the various Greek city-states. By the Classical period, their influence was felt throughout Greece. There were four main games: the Olympic Games, Pythian Games, Nemean Games, and Isthmian Games. The games at Olympia were the oldest and most famous of these. They all began quite humbly as religious ceremonies. While the games had a small religious aspect throughout their history, this role diminished as time progressed. Mythological evidence suggests that the athletic events originally served as entertainment for humans and gods and were loosely associated with sacrificial offerings. At first they were purely local events most likely spanning two or three days, consisting only of dancing, running, and wrestling. The centrepiece of every Olympics is the track and field stadium. Stadium Australia has built the largest Olympic arena in history with 110,000 spectators able to see the opening and closing ceremonies, track and field program and the final of the men's soccer tournament. Under an agreement brokered by the Olympic Co-ordination Authority, the majority of the cost of the $A615 million stadium is being borne by the private sector with the NSW public having ultimate ownership of the venue. Stadium Australia has already hosted several world-class events including top-flight rugby league and union, American NFL and the FIFA All Stars.

The inspiration behind the Hong Kong Sevens came from Ian Gow and Tokkie Smith; it was Gow's idea to bring in teams from rugby nations throughout the world for a tournament in Hong Kong; Smith's suggestion that, logistically, sevens would be a far more workable solution than 15s. Furthermore, the scope of the proposal was, to begin with, narrowed to Asian and Pacific nations, in contrast to the global approach originally proposed by Gow. It was just about this time that the commercial world was beginning to take an interest in rugby, and the Hong Kong organizers were certainly fortunate that, from the first, the tournament found committed corporate sponsors, in this case Cathay Pacific Airlines and Rothmans' Tobacco, the latter eventually replaced by the Hongkong Bank. Right from the start, all the Asian rugby playing nations were willing and eager to send national teams to Hong Kong: the 10 that participated were Fiji, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Tonga, and Malaysia.
