Team Sask Identification
Sask Volleyball is committed to providing opportunities for kids of all ages, who enjoy the high-performance experience, and want to improve their skills. This encourages young athletes to remain competitive and achieve personal goals to become the best that they can be. These identification (ID) initiatives help identify long-term athletes who have volleyball attributes, are passionate and committed to volleyball, and potential to be selected for our Provincial summer program(s). Athletes who are short-listed will receive an email invite to our (June) Future Selects weekend camp or our (May) Team Sask final selection weekend for our Provincial men and women teams.
Please find below our identification events for this upcoming season.
