Change In Community Rugby Essay
Geography “Change in Community” RAP
Rationale
My topic I have chosen is the rugby union community. Rugby is mainly what my life is about at this moment in time. I play in five different teams, train in a selective squad in the off-season, it is something I am very passionate about and I would considerate as my community. As I’m growing up, I’m realising that the number of kids playing in the older ages is dropping and that is what I have chosen as my topic.
Aim
For my fieldwork I’m going to be researching about why the number of kids playing in the rugby community drops during the ages 14 to 18 in the north shore region.
Hypothesis
The reason why the number of kids playing rugby in the ages from 14 to 18 is because some children don’t grow as much and are getting hurt, club rugby isn’t compulsory to play for representative teams, time consuming and school becomes more of a priority.
Methodology …show more content…
There wad still a minority that had different reasons for quitting rugby and that might be because of skill level, passion for the sport, other commitments but of course it would vary from person to person. This dropped of more than 50% from the 12s to the 16s of rugby players is due to all these different reasons and factors.
Conclusion
In my hypothesis I didn’t give a specific answer to my question but gave a range of answer and I did prove that the most common reason was due to school and disproved the other reasons.
Self-Evaluation
It was very easy to collect my data. I did it at lunchtime and just went around to everyone who played club rugby to see if they were going to play club next year and if they weren’t then to record their reason why. Also at my final presentation day I did the same just with a different sort of group.
