Screening: Training Rules

Training Rules examines how women's collegiate sports, caught in a web of homophobic practices, collude in the destruction of the lives and dreams of many of its most talented athletes. It focuses on the women's basketball program at Pennsylvania State University under head coach Rene Portland and her alleged policy of discrimination on her players based on their sexual orientation over a 30-year period as coach of the university's basketball program, particularly from the 1980s to the late 1990s.

This film is being screened next week, February 23 at 7pm at Haas Pavilion on the campus of UC Berkeley. The film will be followed by a discussion with Fawn Yacker, co-director and Helen Carroll, Director of the Sports Project at the National Center for Lesbian Rights.
