"Tee A tee is a stand used to support a stationary ball so that the player can strike it, particularly in golf, tee ball, American football, and rugby. The word tee is derived from the Scottish Gaelic word ""taigh"" meaning house and is related to the 'house' (the coloured circles) in curling. This would make sense, as the first golf tees were within a ""circle"" of one golf club length round the hole. Nowadays, modern courses have separate, designated tee boxes for each hole. For example, the ninth hole of a course is played from the ninth tee to the"
"in the same arena, allowing multiple games to be played simultaneously. A target, the ""house"", is centred on the intersection of the ""centre line"", drawn lengthwise down the centre of the sheet and the ""tee line"", drawn from, and parallel to, the backboard. These lines divide the house into quarters. The house consists of a centre circle (the ""button"") and three concentric rings, of diameters 4, 8 and 12 feet, formed by painting or laying coloured vinyl sheet under the ice and are usually distinguished by colour. A stone must at least touch the outer ring in order to score"
"Students were grouped into Houses (Red, Blue, Green and Yellow) and competed for points for the Houses. Competition would be tough, with each house claiming superiority over the other. Within the short periods of time, the houses each managed to form rather distinct identities. Yellow House was well known for its cheering abilities, while Blue House would claim to have the best athletes, and thus the best in sports. This claim would however, be hotly contested by Red House, who would argue being the most rounded House (both in competing and cheering) and winning the Sports Day Championship in 2002."
"Centre (ice hockey) The centre (or center in the United States) in ice hockey is a forward position of a player whose primary zone of play is the middle of the ice, away from the side boards. Centres have more flexibility in their positioning and are expected to cover more ice surface than any other player. Centres are ideally stronger, faster skaters who can back check quickly from deep in the opposing zone. Generally, centres are expected to be gifted passers more so than goal scorers, although there are exceptions. They are also expected to have exceptional ""ice vision"", intelligence,"
"team. The centre is expected to play the deepest in the offensive zone but also the first of the forwards to backcheck. On the backcheck, the centre should take the first opposing player not covered (usually ""the third man back""). It is generally the centre's job to handle faceoffs for their team. Centres employ many different tactics to win faceoffs that take advantage their strength or swiftness. Faceoff techniques and preferences vary widely from player to player depending on that player's skill at taking faceoffs, speed, strength, and agility. Although faceoff techniques differ greatly, it is almost universal now that"
"a house for sporting and selected competitions in which they are divided into senior and junior teams. Each house appoints four captains of which two are from the junior team and two from the senior team (where there will be one girl and one boy selected from both teams). The house captains are considered to be student leaders and would therefore be installed at the annual student leaders investiture. Merits earned by students through good conduct, academic work, CCA, helpfulness would be added up to the total points of each house and therefore would be counted towards the House Challenge"
"the centre reverses his lower hand and takes the faceoff on his backhand in order to gain more strength when pulling the puck. Bigger, heavier, and stronger centres may prefer to use strength tactics such as tying up the opposing centre and winning the puck with his feet or overpowering the opponent by ripping the puck away using sheer strength. Smaller, quicker centres may employ swiftness tactics such as trying to contact the puck before his opponent has a chance to get his stick in the dot, or the slide technique where he allows his opponent access to the dot"

Following each victory, the cup was passed around, according to School House tradition, so that each member of the house could drink from it. Upon becoming headmaster in 1951, Brian Hone initiated significant change in the purpose of the houses, shifting the focus from sporting prowess to pastoral care, house unity and the growth of the character of the students.

They play with a series of tejos (they have two different colours, one for each team) in a rectangular field. They try to score as many points as it is stipulated, in order to win at 12 points. One team scores a point for each of its tejos that are nearer a small and neutral tejo, which is called tejin, than the nearest tejo of the opposing team, once all the tejos were played. Sport"

"on the ice before the centre of the home team. However, in both the NHL and international rule sets, this now applies only for face-offs at the centre-ice spot; when a face-off takes place anywhere else on the ice, the defending centre has to place his stick first. The centre who is allowed to place his stick last gains the ability to time the face-off better and gives him greater odds of winning it. The third advantage is that the home team has the benefit of choosing whether to take the first or second attempt in a shootout. In baseball,"

If the defending team successfully does force a turnover, the centre is most often responsible for turning the direction of play around or receiving the first pass from a winger who has successfully forced a turnover.
