Getting the community involved

Women's basketball is taking another step and inviting the community and surrouding communities together this fall. They plan to host some youth clinics for boys and girls between kindergarten and eighth grade. Since they are around the time of halloween and the holidays they will be called "haunted hoops and holiday hoops clinics" The cost is $25 and this includes the clinic, pizza party and autrographs after
This is great that the basketball team is histing these youth clinics, this is a way to get the communitty directly involved with the university. This can help get the support from the people living in slippery rock and also is a great way to raise money for the sports programs here.

Girl's volleyball


Saturday was the first time I attended a volleyball game here at slippery rock. I've been to volleyball games before but this was one defintely intense. The rock took on edinboro at home, and the whole game had people on the edge of their seats.
Edinboro came out strong every set and forced slippery rock to play catch up the entire game. Although the fighting scots came out on top this motivated the rock to step up their game and come back for a win.
The game continued back and forth until the last set where it looked as if edinboro would take the set and tie up the match. but The Fourth set was a battle and the teams combined for 14 ties and 14 lead changes. The gym was so loud as both fans, of the rock and the scots cheered on their teams.
The game went back and forth until slippery rock came out at last and scored three consecutive points to take the game.
I can defintely say I will be watching more volleyball games and everyone should come out and support the athletic programs.
