The Calm Before The Storm

It's that time of year again. It's pretty quiet at Sonoma State right now, but within a couple of weeks, the campus will be filled with dozens of student-athletes making preparations for their fall seasons. Our first pre-season game is less than a month away and the regular season gets started in just over a month. The summer seems to get shorter every year.

People often wonder what we in athletics do during the summer. I'm sure they figure that a Sports Information Director just lounges by the pool all day... a three-month vacation. Unfortunately, that is far from the case. Though my hours are cut back (I get to work a 9-5 day!), I'm still at the office Monday through Friday, doing all the little things that we don't have time for during the year from publication production to research.

Fall and winter sports schedules are posted on the website. We've got another busy season coming up with quite a few non-conference soccer games at home, and of course, our volleyball tournament, the Seawolf Spike.

Side note: Our volleyball coach told me last year that "spike" is not a cool term any more. Apparently no volleyball player uses the word "spike". As you can tell by some of our other events, "Seawolf Splash", "Seawolf Sip", etc., alliteration is key with the Sonoma State Seawolves. Sorry volleyballers.
