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.

This small borough is located in Ontario, Canada, and bordered on the south by Lake Ontario. It is a small borough, meaning it has a small town feel, and like most small towns it has made very little name for itself specifically, but through sporting events this can change. This small city is a suburb of Toronto, so athletes have access to modern equipment and trainers in order to prepare for their Olympic dreams.

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.

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.

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.

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.
