Sport Teams Expand Cities, Like Etobicoke Volleyball

By Ericka Marsh


Small communities often wish to stay small, but they also wish to gain the attention of a wider tourist group. One way small communities around the world have received recognition as a destination for vacation-goers is through sporting events at the Olympics. It is very possible that the Etobicoke Volleyball League may achieve just that goal for the little borough which carries that name.

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.

Their primary claim to fame, as it were, is that their streets have some of the finest shopping venues in Toronto. They love to see high-traffic tourism during the months prior to the Holidays, as many people go there to get the Holiday shopping in. The people of this borough work to maintain a pleasant atmosphere for visitors to enjoy while they see the sites, shop, and hopefully visit on of their state-of-the-art sports training centers.

Anyone from very small boys and girls right on up to teens and young adults can find training facilities, coaches, and teams here. They provide high-caliber training to show how seriously they take their game. Even prior professional players hop into it and provide formal tips and training to young athletes who wish to be their best.

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.

Sports have often been an equalizer for members of other races and cultures, and now it is becoming a gender equalizer as well. In recent years we have been seeing more and more women and minorities taking their place in Olympic history, and achieving the fame and notoriety that it affords. More than ever young women are being encouraged to join sporting organizations.

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.
