Etobicoke Volleyball May Put The Town Center Stage In The World

Etobicoke Volleyball May Put The Town Center Stage In The World


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.

Located on the beaches of Lake Ontario in the Ontario Province in Canada, this is a small community within a larger city. This is a community few people in the world are familiar with, but through media coverage of the Olympic Games, they hope to draw new visitors. Anyone who travels to Toronto may appreciate the small-town feel, and wish to book their hotel room in this small borough.

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.

One thing which has become apparent in this sport is that there is an equal amount of attention paid to the sport for girls and boys. This is important, as overwhelming attention paid to men in sports causes many girls to regard athletics as irrelevant to them. The fact is, young women benefit as much as men from the team building and fitness training they experience.

Not only do the Olympics act as an equalizer to gender, but in past years it has been a great equalizer to members of minority races. We now see nearly as many women and minorities represented in the Olympic Hall of Fame. As the world recognizes the inherent equality among all people, many new faces can be seen stepping up.

Sports in our modern age is becoming about more than team spirit, leadership, and physical fitness. It is a tool of empowerment for women and other minorities, it places towns on the map for people all around the world, and it is steeped in traditions which are sometimes thousands of years old. Good sportsmanship has become a character trait rather than a manner of accepting defeat, and this trait is something the world could use more of in the future.
