Etobicoke Volleyball May Put The Town Center Stage In The World

By Ericka Marsh


The one event which has put more small communities on the forefront for people all around the world are the Olympic Games. The year of an Olympic event is an exciting time, full of promise and potential for all countries who choose to show the spirit that only sporting competition can bring. With this comes the addition of new events, and in the years to come the Etobicoke Volleyball League may well show their strength and go for 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.

Having a sporting event place a community on a stage benefits everyone equally. Young people watching the Olympic games take place often learn about countries and cities they never heard of. School papers are written about these athletes, complete with a historical narrative and geographical outline.

In this particular event, a great deal of attention has been paid to the female teams, and this has had a positive impact on the numbers of girls involved in sports. As a rule the media only covers sports played by all-male teams, but this is changing. Young women are seeing that college scholarships and Olympic rewards may be available to them.

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 has always taught leadership, and now more than ever young people need the physical fitness. However, for many people it means so much more, and everyone knows how the Olympics themselves have always been a time-honored tradition bathed in beautiful ritual. The world needs more team spirit and sportsmanlike behavior, and it is always a welcome sight when a new town is added to the list.
