Introduction to Sports Laws
Physical Education has a lot of professional hazards, so it can be regarded as one of the riskiest professions.
The Physical educator should be aware of what should be done as a reasonable and prudent person to avoid legal liability, such as knowing the status of pupils’ health, avoidance of the use of faulty facilities and teaching according to the level of maturity of the students. Therefore in any situation, be it in the classroom, the playground or on a class visitation, the teacher is responsible for the welfare and safety of his pupils.
Tort
This is an act in which a physical education teacher knowingly or unknowingly, behaves in a way that exposes the students to injuries.
(i) Act of commission (Action):
This is when a teacher’s action deliberately or knowingly leads a student to injuries.
(ii) Act of omission (In-action):
This is when the teacher’s action unknowingly leads students to injuries.
