This is not the current course catalog

We will explore the rise of Football (soccer) from its humble beginnings in working-class towns to the world-class game it is today. Students will read texts related to the early days of British football. Each student will be assigned a team to research and present on for their final project. As a culminating event, the class will travel to Greater Manchester to experience the English Premier League by visiting one of the oldest teams training facilities (Burnley FC) and taking in a game. We will also visit the national football museum in Manchester.
