Doesn't look like Olympics or Commonwealth games (I can't see a crest) but perhaps a smaller Asia-Pacific competition?  

And what's the ball - doesn't look like soccer.  Handball?  Volleyball?  Who's signatures are on it - team mates?  Students?  



Help me out here.

butterflylove wrote:@Bobette, the brand of ball is Gopher which is a brand you usually see in schools (we have them at mine), and this one looks about dodgeball size - so he could be a PE teacher / kids sports coach.. not sure with the signatures on it though. And him dressed in green and gold, hm.. Just need him with a frothy in hand, haha. But perhaps he plays for the Aus Dodgeball team? (but he doesn't seem to match anyone, nor anyone from the Handball team).. I'm just throwing ideas out here. Maybe cricket with the yellow baggy? But then the ball is too big. Sports coach from the Goldy?

Bobette wrote:@Agent99 Nice find - don't know how I missed that photo!  I have done a CSI enhance () and it's pixelly AF but does indeed look like the Australian coat of arms so might be a legit AU representative.

Hmmm... actually it might be too symmetrical to be the national coat of arms - looks more like two emus than an emu and kangaroo?  Maybe a state crest? Anyway time to research dodgeball teams...

ETA:  OMG dodgeball is the BEST   Haven't found a match for the contestant but what a sport.  Thank you for bringing this knowledge into my life @Agent99 @butterflylove I will now be disappointed if he plays anything else.

Sadly it appears dodgeball players have too much fashion sense to wear a boring old green blazer with AU crest so he might play another sport (or perhaps it was just something they dragged out of the Ch 10 wardrobe department).

Does it say "The Emus"? There's a national basketball team called the Emus, but they're under 19s... and he doesn't look that tall.

Sporting wise, he is somewhat of an all rounder, representing NSW in Water Polo, Rugby, Swimming and Cricket. He has recently been awarded the “Golden Balls” award as the MVP of the Australian Dodgeball team in the 2012 world championships. He doubled as the team Physiotherapist and it through this rehabilitation knowledge that he manages to give optimal treatment for all patients.
