HOW ACCESS AND EQUITY EFFECTS PARTICIPATION IN SPORT Professor Peter Figueroa developed a framework to examine and analyse equity and access through five different levels in society.

Lacrosse is the best sport to try in the spring or summer because it’s a very engaging activity, it requires a large amount of skill,strength, and cardio.

P.G. Wodehouse once said, “The fascination of shooting as a sport depends almost wholly on whether you are at the right or wrong end of the gun.” This quote embodies the internal struggle the narrator of George Orwell’s “Shooting an Elephant” faces while deciding the fate of the elephant.
