Nebraska: A place for sports

Congratulations, you are now a Husker! With this title you will forever be dubbed a Nebraska Football fan. If football is your thing, you are in a great place! Contrary to popular belief, however, there is more than just one team and one sport in the state.

The volleyball and women’s basketball teams for the University of Nebraska – Lincoln have made headlines several times the last couple of years (http://www.Huskers.com). Lincoln is also home to the Lincoln Saltdogs (http://www.saltdogs.com) as well as the No Coast Derby Girls (http://www.nocoastderbygirls.com/web/)! If you enjoy playing sports, consider participating in the Cornhusker State Games (http://www.cornhuskerstategames.com/) or on a softball or volleyball team through Lincoln Parks & Recreation (http://www.lincoln.ne.gov/city/parks/). You can also play intramurals organized thought UNL’s Campus Recreation (http://www.crec.unl.edu/home). Or participate in one of many fun races hosted in the area (http://www.angrycowadventures.com, http://www.lincolnmarathon.org, http://www.thecolorvibe.com, http://www.glowrun5k.com/linc.html).
