Open it Up a Bit

The playing of team games in Australian schools has long been based on the assumption that it promotes positive social learning, and this is particularly so in elite, independent schools. Yet, in a rapidly globalizing world, both sport and education are undergoing significant changes in meaning and function. Within this context, there is increasing tension between the ideal of sport as an educational medium and the reality of sport as a commercial commodity. This article draws on research conducted on rugby union football at an elite, independent school in Brisbane, Australia. It examines how tensions between the function of rugby as an educational medium and the influence of rugby as an emergent commercialized sport were manifested in struggle over game style and tactics
