Letter
From The
We would like to first
thank everyone who came
back to read our first issue
of Sports Union in almost
a year. We know that it will
take time to build up the
readership of the maga-
zine once again after being
mostly online.
But, you the reads, have
shown that we have made
the right decision coming
back with a twice a month
magazine.
As the dog days of sum-
mer continue are thoughts
flip to the start of the fall
sports season. How quick-
ly the summer has gone by
now that everyone is out
there grinding away get-
ting ready for soccer, foot-
ball, volleyball, tennis, field
hockey and cross country.
It seems like yesterday
that the spring season had
just ended, and here we
are already talking about
the fall season. It has been
an enjoyable summer, and
there are still a few weeks
to go. Even though practice
has started it
doesn’t mean the
hot weather will
go away anytime
soon.
Make sure you
are extremely hy-
drated with temps
easily
getting
into the high 80’s
during
practice
and even into the
first couple of game
of the season. It’s
easy to think they
drinking water the
day of the game.
In this issue we
have a nice mixture
of all different kind
of sports from soc-
cer to volleyball. We
will tell the story of
a young man who got to
love out his dream playing
volleyball with USA blazed
across his chest.
We also will head to Italy,
sort of, and tell the story of
a young man who came to
the states to get a chance
to play soccer and receive a
great education. All he did
last year was set the MAAC
on fire in his first year, and
now will look to duplicate
those efforts.
As always follow us on
Twitter, Facebook and Ins-
tagram for photos and sto-
ries. If you missed any ar-
ticles from the last issue,
go to our website www.
sportsunionwny.com. We
will be putting fresh con-
tent on the site as the year
goes on.

vertise, contact Owner

work around your budget
and try to find the right deal
for you.
