The University of Nevada has a rich volleyball tradition of competing in the NCAA tournament and producing all conference players. I am honored and excited to have been given the opportunity to both build on that legacy and help Wolf Pack volleyball reach new heights. As Nevada moved into the Mountain West, a conference populated with high caliber teams, the competitive bar was raised and the requirements for success expanded. To succeed against these teams, some of the nation's best, and to get back to the NCAA tournament we need the financial resources to compete. your support helps us overcome recruiting barriers, purchase technology and equipment, and provides quality nutrition that benefits our most valuable resource - the team! We realize
we are lucky to live in a community like Reno that provides the Wolf Pack with such strong support. It is our goal for our student-athletes to continue to repay that support by excelling in the gym, in the classroom, and by representing the University in the best possible manner. Those of you who have followed volleyball for many years will remember the old days of Side Out scoring where you had to win a rally just to have the right to serve for a point. With this history in mind, it is fitting that our boosters join the Side Out Club because it is in large measure your support that gives our players the chance to be successful. Thank you for considering membership in our Side Out Club. The window for opportunity to be a student-athlete seems big as a freshman, but it closes all too rapidly. Please help our players make the most of the once in a lifetime opportunity in front of them as they work towards reaching their goals and achieving their dreams.
The Varsity team lost to the JV team because they did not work together as team. Though the Varsity team consisted of high performing individuals for speed, strength, and endurance but together they lacked the cohesiveness to perform as a single unit. Also among them there were a lot of internal conflicts cropping up like blaming each other, lack of trust and confidence in the ability of others etc., which were not identified, or resolved at appropriate time. Each one did not believe he was working as a part of the team; rather they tried to maximize their individual capabilities alone. In addition the Varsity team lacked a strong leader, mostly people were disruptors.
Helmet or no helmet? This controversial issue for girls lacrosse has been growing stronger each year. If you have ever seen men's lacrosse their uniforms are almost identical to a football player. While women only wear goggles and a mouth guard. So why why is this such a controversial issue? Shouldn’t women want to wear helmets for protection? There is a lot of evidence to review on the topic. In the articles titled, “A Case Against Helmets in Lacrosse.” by Alan Schwarz, the non-fiction piece titled “Headgear Rule for Girls” by Bill Pennington, another article named, “Helmets In Lacrosse” by Krystina Lucid, and “How Women's Field Lacrosse Differs from Men's Field Lacrosse” by James Hinkson and Joe Lombardi. Girls lacrosse should not wear more head gear/ a helmet because if they are protected they feel they can play a more aggressive game, the rules in girls lacrosse do not allow any

The payment of NCAA student-athletes will deteriorate the value of an education to the athletes. The value of an education for a young man or woman cannot be measured. It is our gate way to success as...
Since the 1972 conception of Title IX of the Education Amendments, the number of women participating in intercollegiate athletics has increased five-fold, from fewer than 30,000, to more 150,000 in 2001. However, more than 400 men’s athletics teams have been dismantled since Title IX, the law forbidding sex discrimination at institutions receiving federal funds, became law. Some would say this is due, in part, to Title IX enforcement standards like proportionality. Proportionality requires that an institution’s athletic population must be of an equal ratio to its general student body. Among some of the 400-plus teams dismantled by Title IX are several former Colorado State University teams including wrestling, baseball, gymnastics, men’s swimming and diving, and men’s tennis. CSU student athletes no longer sport the opportunity of participating in these activities at the NCAA Division I level, and the days of the student body rooting for their ram teams are gone, possibly forever. Now the search is on to find a solution to the problems associated with Title IX if, indeed, a solution is ultimately necessary.
I play for the Marist College water polo team. I practice five days a week, for about four hours a day (6:45 am to 11:00 am). We are a spring sport and dedicate the entire fall semester to getting ready for spring season. We even cut our winter break down two weeks shorter to get in extra practice. Winter break practice is a lot harder because there are no rules and regulations on the amount of time we are allowed to practice. If the coaches so please, they can keep us in the water the entire time without a break. Now a coach would never do that because they would not be receiving maximum efficiency from us. We would be too exhausted but the point was that there are no rules for them. Our practices start off with a morning lift in
The following is a case study analysis on SPORTPLAY. The case involves a man by the name of Chis who is the Executive Director of the Provincial Arts Board (PAB). Until recently PAB was receiving government funding but when PAB failed to satisfy three of the five standards for government funding, PAB fell victim to government funding cutbacks. These cutbacks led Executive Director Chris to begin searching for non-traditional types of funding. Chris ultimately came up with the idea to connect with sports communities that he knew were always in the need of financial assistance. His initial thought was that if he could legalize gambling on sporting events that he could alleviate both parties’ financial issues. With some luck and after four months of hard work Chris was able to get roughly 33 associations that consisted of sport and art. Even several politicians jumped around this idea because saw the potential in replacing all government support for elite sports and the art community (INSERT CITATION).
While reviewing the case, the courts determined that the phrase “march madness” is a protected trademark and not just a common name.
Where is the money these athletic programs are earning going? There are many different categories in which a college program needs to put their money in order to create the best profit they can for the next

This picture would enhance my photo essay by showing how important teamwork and supporting your team is in volleyball.
SALT LAKE CITY — “It was five years ago the first time they showed up in my office and said they were interested in having scholarships for playing Esports,” said AJ Dimick, director of Esports Operations at the University of Utah. “The infrastructure did not exist then. The core group of students at Crimson Gaming created one of the first grassroots gaming community and held events so big they could not be ignored. They bothered all the right people. We could be the first school from a Power Five conference to make a varsity Esports program. ”
Six long hours after departing Hotchkiss, we finally reached our destination. We pulled into the parking lot of the Super 8 just off Interstate 76 in Sterling, Colorado. Since I had been to this hotel on a previous trip to Sterling, I began wishing I had brought my swimsuit along. Mom and dad went inside and got the keys for room 129. I was so sick of riding in the car that I did not care what the room looked like as long as there was a bed for me to sleep on. As we entered the room, on the left there was the bathroom sink, a mirror, and a place to hang our "good" clothes. To the right, was the miniature bathroom. There was not enough space in there for a midget. Stepping out of the entranceway, there was a wooden dresser with a 27-inch television. By the large window, there was a small table. Two queen size beds sat on either side of the nightstand. The purple patterned quilts were quite shocking compared to everything else in the room.
