  8. So What is Physical Recreation? • Recreation is physical by name: it is ACTIVE LEISURE. • It can be any sport played at top level but done so as a CATHARSIS. • Playing areas are agreed- but not as strict as sport. • Many abilities can play together- whereas SPORT only accommodates elite level performers. • Outcomes are non- serious: there is no moral obligation.

  9. Consider a group of people playing football in a park… • How do the principles mentioned fit in? • Taking the stress out of a day/week (CATHARSIS) • Unmarked Boundaries- unplanned so no definite end time • Fluid numbers on teams- 9 vs. 8 etc. • They have CHOSEN to play- opportunities to SOCIALISE. • Goals can be structured or made with bags etc- also rules can be different (Heads and Volleys/ 3 and In)
