Are parent’s attitudes from the stands rubbing off on players?
During one of the first years my son played baseball, I remember a parent from an opposing team who routinely sat as close as he could to the field and constantly yelled at his son. No matter what his 9-year-old son did, apparently it was wrong in his father’s eyes. I felt bad for the kid, his teammates and, well, pretty much everyone that had to listen to it. I couldn't wait for the game to be over. Fast-forward to recently and we hear of incidents of player infractions such as recent fighting on the field during a Totino-Grace High School and Prairie Seeds Academy boys varsity soccer game. The competition in youth sports has seems like it is at a point where more parents are trying to “coach” from the stands and players might be taking …

A group of A.P. history students followed their passion for Herbert Hoover's presidential pastime all the way to West Branch, IA.
It’s been almost 80 years since Herbert Hoover held America’s highest political office, but “hooverball,” a sport made famous by the former president, is alive and well in the halls of Burnsville High School. In fact, the BHS Hooverball Club recently concluded its inaugural season by competing at the 25th Annual National Hooverball Championships in West Branch, IA. “It surprised me, initially,” said BHS social studies teacher Carla Staffa, whose advanced placement U.S. history students took an interest in the game earlier this year. In February, Staffa screened a 10-minute video about Hoover for her A.P. classes. The clip mentioned hooverball, a game invented by the president’s physician to help Hoover lose weight. Staffa’s pupils were …

Follow us on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter| Blog for us In 2012, Elite Gymnastics Academy is going from strength to strength. Over the last six months, EGA relocated to a new building twice the size of its old location and has unveiled plans to open an adjoining swim club as well. The move was well-timed. EGA is well-positioned to take advantage of a surge of post-Olympics interest in gymnastics. "We are already seeing a significant bump. I usually run (waivers and registration forms) in batches of 50 or 100," said Sara Spurlock, marketing director at EGA. "In two weeks later we were out. We are tracked to see significant growth." The gym has already built a steady and devoted following since opening …

The kind of corruption that has been the norm in college football and basketball factories has seeped down to high school. Winning is all that counts and cheating is just another way to build "the program." It's sad to note that professional sports are cleaner that academic sports. The highest paid public employee in the state is...the U of M's basketball coach. more ›
