Forty five bucks for a Raiders game? Sixty bucks for an Earthquakes game? Well, sports fans, there’s a cheaper, and sometimes more entertaining alternative. College students may be low on the cash flow. Most college sports events are free of charge or under a buck, just like a 10-10-321 phone call.
Instead of dishing out two fresh Jefferson’s and a Lincoln, just show up at the football field on a Friday night for a true clash of titans. Instead of shoving over 50 buck-a-rooni’s for that MLS contest, we have two superb soccer teams that are perennial league and conference champions. Best of all, their games are usually FREE!
Believe you me, the action is just as intense as professional and minor league sports. Scouts come to these games. For a reason.
You could very well be catching some good action during lunch, or a break between classes. See the sports schedule for more information. These athletes need some motivation and determination too.
Many De Anza athletes have transferred to Division I-AA schools to continue in competition and higher education.
Several athletes have mustered such greatness and excellence (along with high academic proficiency), they have been allocated full scholarships at selected universities across the nation.
It’s worth the time to take a short meander over to the fields. Really!
Perhaps, sports are lost in the stride for unity and diversity? De Anza has one of the greatest community college sports programs in the state, having garnered the Bud Ottmar Award the last two years; and 90 percent of the time over the span that the award has been given, for being the best overall school of the Coast Conference.
In lieu of the recent tragedy, Americans are showing their true patriotism, creating an unforeseen bondage of camaraderie and unity. Take a brisk walk over to one of the games at the fields or in the gym or at the pool with some friends. Show your community what community is all about. After all, De Anza athletics are a direct reflection of De Anza College and the local community.
De Anza’s coaching staff is well rounded as well. Just for starters, Volleyball coach Dawnis Guevera holds records at San Jose State University. We could ramble for hours on the success that our coaching staff has curtailed.
Sports are an essential part of life. Sports keep us entertained, provide us diversion and keep some of us from getting into serious trouble. Sports play with our emotions; the last second goal, the two-minute offense, the buzzer beater, playoff agony, the thrill of victory.
Fill those seats. Fill those bleachers. It’s worth your time and money, especially since most games are FREE. Intense, fierce, emotional. All of those words describe De Anza athletes. Sweat plus sacrifice equals success. Well, folks, De Anza athletes have garnered plenty of success. Enjoy the games!
