Fiedler believed that the City League would be a good alternative to holding regular practice that the team greatly needed to improve its performance in the special games. The City League consists of other teams from within the community. Members of the City League teams are from local city agencies, small businesses, school employees, etc. The City League games are held twice a week, for seven-weeks in the fall, and seven-weeks in the spring. The costs for the City League are primarily paid for by the Oxnard Peace Officer Association (OPOA), which is the officer’s labor union. In addition to the OPOA contributions, the team seeks corporate sponsors. If there are any residual costs after OPOA and sponsors, the players will chip in. Occasionally, the Oxnard Police Department provides refreshments for players and spectators, especially during the playoffs. If the team makes the playoffs, Fielder is allowed to use the department email to notify people to attend the playoff

I think that the only way for the WNBA to improve on their attendance is to interact with the fan such as host events and enhance social media presence, which could bring more of a spotlight to the WNBA. What really makes the NBA so successful is the media because a person might not be a fan of basketball ball, but they can tell you who LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry are. What kind of plans do Borders have to increase the attendance of games?
Even though the New Orleans Pelicans signed Anthony Davis to 5 year / 145 million dollar extension this past off-season. The Pelicans should strongly consider trading Davis within the next 2-3 seasons because Davis has missed at least 15 games in each of his first three seasons due to a number of injuries, which include sprained right shoulder, sprained MCL and a fractured left hand. If Anthony Davis continues to sustain injuries that force him to exit or miss games he will not be able to lead the Pelicans to any real team success. Real team success for the Pelicans would be winning 50-55 regular season games and making it pass the first round. For the Pelicans to achieve this goal they would need Davis 75 to 80 games without missing big portions of games to attend to an injury. Since the Pelicans do not have another impact player on their roster that can help them tread water until Davis.

Throughout my academic career, most of the courses I’ve taken were self-disciplined and few projects I was involved with involved teamwork and collaboration. Despite this, my classmates and I would always have group study sessions to do homework and to study the night before a big test. My best examples of collaboration are from my experience while playing varsity basketball.
