Sport Teams Expand Cities, Like Etobicoke Volleyball

By Ericka Marsh


Nothing puts a town, city, or country on the map for many people quite like a sports team. This can become even more true during the period just prior and during an Olympic year, wherein athletes from many places come together. With the addition of this particular beach-centered pass-time as an event, it is possible more people will learn about the success of Etobicoke volleyball teams as they train the athletes who shall pursue the Gold.

A city within a city in Ontario Canada, this region practices their beach sport on the banks of Lake Ontario. Up until now they have received no real notoriety, and have not made much of a name so far. However, should their Leagues find themselves handed over as Olympic hopefuls from a suburb of Toronto, then the already modernized and state-of-the-art facilities they boast may get an even shinier new look.

This area boasts some of the finest shopping centers in Toronto. For anyone who does not fear the far north, it is an ideal vacation destination during the months of October and November. One can visit a small city with a friendly atmosphere, take in the sites, learn about their burgeoning sports and recreation centers, and get their Holiday shopping in all at once.

There are coaches who teach everyone from small three-to-five year-old kids on up to teens and young adults training for Olympic dreams. Elite programs exist for these athletes, preparing them to be on a winning team. Professional players from their national teams are in on it as well, helping to train and prepare many young Olympic hopefuls.

More than the small communities see benefits when sports puts them on the map. Young people all over the world become familiar with places they never knew existed. It becomes a fun and exciting way for young people to learn the geography of the world around them.

This sport, while originally played as a day-at-the-beach activity, has become an event which young women are paying more and more attention to. Historically only sporting events dominated by men have taken center stage in the world arena. Girls often avoid sports as a result, figuring that college scholarships and Olympic opportunities are not something that apply to them.

The Olympics has always been a great gender and race equalizer in the world. There have been nearly as many young women and minorities to become famous due to their Olympic achievements, with their moments of glory being played for viewers decades after the event. This is more important for young people than ever.

It is more than team building and learning the skills necessary for leadership. To many people, playing in sports is about self-empowerment and a sense of total achievement. The Olympic games is a massive sporting event which is known to be heavily laden in traditions that date back to the ancient days of Rome; and like those old Romans, being a good sport is a key character trait in a leader.
