KO1 – Rules and regulations of your sports

All organised sports have rules that ensure participants play correctly, safely, and fairly.
The rules are decided and regulated by the sport’s governing body. National governing
bodies affiliate to international federations, which ensure the rules are applied across the
world. Depending on the sport, the rules may be known as:

 rules – e.g.,Handball/Gymnastics/basketball/Badminton
 regulations – e.g., motor sports
 laws – e.g., rugby union

For this task you will need to research the rules and regulations of the two sports that you
are doing in PE this term.

Please make sure you include all your research in the table below.
