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.
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.
With programs for everyone from small children to teens and adults, this city takes their beach sport seriously. There are elite programs for anyone with dreams of being on an award-winning team. Those who formally played for the national team are available to train young athletes, sometimes on a one-on-one basis.
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.
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.
