Pinellas Park United
Announces Working Agreement with
South Pinellas County Soccer Club
 
     With the vision of creating a premier soccer development organization from youth through adults, Pinellas Park United has established a working relationship with the South Pinellas Soccer Club (SPSC). Based out of Pinellas County, Florida, SPSC has quickly established itself as the home to the best organized adult soccer in the region.  
 
      Currently with three teams in the Florida Suncoast Soccer League, SPSC Hurricanes (Division 1), SPSC Tavern (Division 2), and adding the Pinellas Park team to form SPSC Hercules (Division 3), they are steadily attracting quality players at all levels of competition. The three SPSC teams along with the Pinellas Park United U23 Men and U23 Women teams will allow players the opportunity to continue to play soccer at various levels beyond the youth level of play.
 
      The players of the three SPSC teams will be actively involved in the development of the Pinellas Park Youth Program players. Both organizations expect great things to come out of this relationship, especially athletes with a solid foundation and understanding of the game of soccer. This will help players to consistently compete at the state, regional, and national level.  The SPSC organization is committed to fostering a core of personal values focused on the realization of accountability, discipline, and respect for the game of soccer. 
 
     Our working relationship with SPSC is expected to launch our organizations to the next level of soccer professionalism in the region.  From the SPSC website, “This is a very exciting point in time and we all look forward to the years to come!!!”
 
     The SPSC can be accessed by clicking the link located on the top right of this page called South Pinellas Soccer Club.

]]> http://www.ppysa.com/home/244557.html Soccer History & Origins 10/10/2005 10:30 AM http://www.ppysa.com/home/109674.html Origins of Soccer & History
Soccer's history dates back prior to the mid 1800 when an effort was made to standardize the rules of the game commonly played in varying forms on school playgrounds. Early efforts eventually led to the formation of the Football Association in late 1863 to form rules of the game with later organizations forming and revising rules after.

Soccer VS Football?
The name "association football" was designated to distinguish the sport from other forms of football, in particular rugby football. The term soccer is derived from the word 'association' and first appeared in the 1880s. Football is the term used by FIFA & the Olympics although soccer is a commonly accepted name which is often used to differentiate the sport from other common football games in certain regions around the world.

Standard Laws Of Soccer
FIFA (The Fédération Internationale de Football Association) defines seventeen universal "Laws of the Game" which cover the following. The Laws of the Game were last modified by FIFA February 26, 2005. You may view the Laws of the Game on the FIFA web site located at http://www.fifa.com/
 
 

World Soccer Origins

Egypt and the Near East
Historians have suggested that fertility rites in ancient Egypt and religious ceremonies in the ancient Near East may have been linked to the development of the game.

 

Alaska and Canada
The Eskimos played aqsaqtuk or soccer on ice. Balls were stuffed with grass, caribou hair, and moss. One legend tells of two villages playing against each other with goals ten miles apart. There is no known date of origin.

 

Mexico and Central America
The creation of the rubber ball occurred in Mexico and Central America. These people played games on a recessed court shaped like a capital "I". The court was 40-50 feet long with vertical walls several feet high. In the middle of each wall was a mounted stone or wooden ring and the object was to project the hard rubber ball through the ring.

 

United States of America
In the early 1600s, the American Indians played a game called pasuckuakohowog, meaning "they gather to play ball with the foot." Beaches, a half mile wide with goals 1 mile apart, served as playing fields for as many as 1000 people at a time. Games were rough and often resulted in broken bones, but no one could be identified because players disguised themselves with ornaments and war paint making retaliation close to impossible. It was common for games to be carried over from one day to the next, with a celebratory feast following the conclusion of the match.

 

China and the Far East
The earliest mention researchers have found of a soccer-like game states that balls made of animal skin were kicked through a gap in a net stretched between poles 30 feet high. Records indicate that tsu chu was played as a part of the Emperor's birthday celebration. The Chinese also played some form of the game to train soldiers during the Ts'in Dynasty (255 BC-206 BC). According to records, tsu chu was also played extensively during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD).

 

Pacific Islands
Pacific Island inhabitants were early to develop games using hands and feet. They used coconuts, oranges and pig bladders as balls.

 
England
One story speaks of using an enemy's skull as a ball; another tells of a village defeating a Roman team and running them out of town in 217 AD. Nonetheless, the history of the game in England during the 5th-11th centuries is vague. By the 12th century, the game had become a violent mob sport with no rules and any sort of behavior condoned, which later earned a succession of royal bans. Regardless of the bans, the sport grew in popularity. Formal rules of today's game were adopted in England in 1863.
