If the google calendar is set up correctly it can do what you are asking it to do.
We no longer do it, but when I first introduced the idea of google calendars for our sports schedule, I had each sport a separate "calendar" inside the master sport calendar, published them all in one and the little arrow just right of the view would allow users to pick which sport to view. When I handed that over to some one else they have been just putting every sport onto one "calendar" and so we lost that feature - but then we have not yet been asked to bring it back. In short, I do believe Google's calendar can do what you want and I can help you see how if you need details. --Michael T.
