Case of Negligence
1. During the day, duct tape had been used on the floor near the boundary lines of a badminton court. In the evening, a participant playing badminton caught her shoe on the tape and suffered a torn meniscus in her knee. Arthroscopic surgery was required and a lengthy convalescence ensued. The municipality was responsible for cleaning the community center, including the gym, and knew that the tape had been placed on the floor during the day.
2. A) The factors involved in the defendant’s decision is basically the lack of for their users that cost him a torn meniscus that imply at least 3 month of recovery. Clearly the municipality owed a “duty of care” to the participant to ensure she was reasonable safe while playing badminton. In describing the “standard of care” the Municipality in providing facilities for the playing of sport, in this case badminton, must ensure that such facilities can be used in safety for that purpose.
3. The outcome of this case will be in favor of the defendant. The municipality is negligent and its care of the facility and will award the participant damages in the amount of $30,000. The badminton player had no knowledge of the prior use of tape on the gym floor and it was not a hazard he would have reasonably expected to occur and thus would not have kept a lookout for such a hazard. She was therefore not contributorily negligent for not inspecting the floor for tape.
In this program soccer players from the age of eleven to sixteen years old will be able to improve their skill technique movements with and without the ball by doing specific drills focusing on those areas.
The goals of this program are:
1. Develop the touch with the ball. For example, at the moment of receiving a pass, make a directional control with the first touch.
The soccer drills will be specific for each goal. This way the player can focus on one thing at a time, improving their skills quickly.
