Spikeball sets have been rolling out the door at The Good Sport. To be honest, it is one of the most awesome games to hit the beach–probably since the surf board and the flying disk. We have them and would be happy to give you a live demonstration. Stop by the store.
At the beginning of the school year, a few freshmen in Holworthy decided to bring a new sport to Harvard: spikeball. But what started as fun in the Yard quickly became a full-fledged, very popular club sport. This Saturday, Harvard hosted the first inter-collegiate spikeball match against Dartmouth giving the football game that came later in the day a run for its money.
In addition to the beach, there have been more and more campus Spikeball sitings as the game has gained momentum. Buy one now, become a Spikeball champion, take it back to school with you in the fall. Win, win!
…which awesome summer beach game would you choose? KANJAM or SPIKEBALL?
How to play KanJam
The concept is quite simple. You have one flying disk and two large cans. Each team takes turns trying to get the disk into the KAN–with the help of a teammate poised to JAM. Two minutes of training for a sport that will last a lifetime! Win-win!
Spikeball is a 2 vs. 2 game that can be played anywhere. College campuses all across the United States are getting into it. It is incredibly fun and shares a lot of the same rules as Volleyball and 4 Square. Check out their website here: Spikeball.com CHECK OUT MY WEBSITE HERE: http://harrisonslens.com/ To get everything you need it's only $50!
A combination of volleyball and foursquare with a mini-trampoline as the center point. This is the perfect way to exhibit your athletic prowess–as well as your keen awareness to the laws of physics. Brains & brawn. Once again–win-win!
In addition to being great beach games, KanJam and Spikeball can be the catalysts that empower even the sleepiest of graduation parties! Stop by our store, we have both games and stock.
– Cheers, The Good Sport

Parent Education Talk is Co-Sponsored by the South Shore YMCA
Named the “Most Important Coach in America” by Parade Magazine and one of the 100 Most Influential Sports Educators in America by the Institute for International Sport, Ehrmann also works with corporate, civic and community organizations and associations to promote growth, teamwork, effectiveness and individual responsibility.
Calling for a transformation of sports culture in America, nationally renowned sports educator Joe Ehrmann will bring his message to South Shore parents, coaches and educators on Wednesday, October 23 at 7:00 pm. Ehrmann’s talk on “Coaching for Change” will be held in the Meehan Family Artsbarn at Inly School in Scituate, as part of the Omran Nelson Speaker Series, a parent education initiative designed to foster lifelong learning in the community. Co-sponsored by the South Shore YMCA, this talk is open to the public. Tickets are $20 and will be available online at www.inlyschool.org starting September 23. For more info, call 781-545-5544.

The 13-year pro football veteran and former Colts’ Man of the Year first made a name for himself at Syracuse University as an All-American football player and lettered lacrosse player. To read more, see coachforamerica.com
Donna Milani Luther, head of Inly School, believes strongly in Ehrmann’s message and has arranged for him to hold a pre-talk workshop for Inly teachers and coaches, along with coaches from the South Shore YMCA.
Ehrmann also works with corporate, civic and community organizations and associations to promote growth, teamwork, effectiveness and individual responsibility. His diverse client list includes the NFL, NCAA, Cal Ripken Foundation and U.S. Lacrosse Foundation; Boeing, Verizon and Transamerica Capital; Teach for America, University of North Carolina and the U.S. Naval Academy and Coast Guard Academy.Ehrmann’s talk on “Coaching for Change” challenges audiences to rethink and redefine the place and purpose of sports in our country. He also discusses sports and gender and takes on the problem of destructive and damaging myths and stereotypes that are perpetuated by culture and played out in the sports arena.“Joe’s holistic approach to coaching aligns perfectly with who we are as a school,” says Milani-Luther. “It’s not about winning a game, it’s about winning in life. The message is that we’re all in this together—which leads to cooperative learning and to the kind of teamwork that I think kids need in this century.”
Jabari Scutchins, physical education instructor at Inly School, agrees. “Sports are a great gateway for teaching important life lessons. As teachers and coaches, we can set the right tone and teach the right lessons. Sports can encourage positive problem-solving and critical thinking, and build communication and leadership skills. Building confidence in children is much more important than competition.”
Many of you will remember 1977, when the GOOD SPORT first opened our doors and introduced the store’s hip, superhero mascot, Gordie Sport.
Part Derek Sanderson and part Elvis Presley, Gordie served as our official mascot for many years until his retirement in 1984. While trolling through the Good Sport’s archives in preparation for our thirty-fifth anniversary, we again discovered our good pal, Gordie.
To our old friends, Gordie may cause a slight tug on the old heart strings. Those new to town, may be scratching their heads in puzzlement and bewilderment.
For everyone, just remember what Gordie says:
“It’s not how you play the Game, it’s where you get your Gear!”
As our summer interns ready themselves for another rigorous year of study, we asked them to dig through the GOOD SPORT media archives, and identify their five most inspirational and mentally stimulating back-to-school video snippets.
Here are 5 of our favorites! Enjoy!
