"Being able to be a part of Team Sask at the 2021 Canada Games affords me the opportunity to have a lasting impact on the lives of tomorrow's leaders. The greatest joy is being able to play a small part in their personal development. To have the opportunity to lead this program throughout these prestigious games and to have the ability to collaborate and work alongside this amazing staff is a dream come true."

 

 

"I enjoy the opportunity to represent the Saskatchewan Soccer Community. I love to challenge myself at various levels of the game and contribute to the growth of soccer in Saskatchewan. I enjoyed my experience as part of the Team Sask 2019 Western Canada Summer Games staff and am honoured to be chosen as a member of Team Sask for the 2021 Canada Summer Games as a progression in my coaching journey and be a part of a successful Saskatchewan team in Niagara."

 

 

"I love being involved with the Summer Games program to help give young athletes a memorable and successful trip. I have now been part of 3 multisport games, two as an athlete and one as a coach, and those have given me amazing memories that will last a lifetime. I also believe that Saskatchewan has the potential and player pool to really show Canada we are taking huge strides in our soccer growth. I would love nothing more than to be part of a program that brings a medal from the games, home to Saskatchewan."

 

 

"I have been working with the best goalkeepers in the province for the last 25 years and I would like to help them to be well prepared and do their best on the big stage like this."

 

 

 

"After a wonderful experience as a member of the coaching staff for Team Saskatchewan for the Western Canada Games in 2019, I am honoured to be, once again, working with the high level of talent for the 2022 Games. It is thrilling to be a member of such a wonderful group of coaches and to play a part in the development of some of the most talented players in our fine province.”

 

 

"The reason that I wanted to be involved in the Canada Summer Games is to challenge myself and take responsibility for the role in preparing Saskatchewan's top youth soccer talent. Then also to be able to take part in the largest multi-sport event in the country which gives me the opportunity to represent my province proudly, and to build on and develop this program with honesty and my best effort makes me really enthusiastic about the challenge."

 

"I am so excited to work with an incredibly strong coaching staff to provide our province's best athletes the chance to show what they can do on the national stage. An event like Canada Summer Games is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for athletes, and I am honoured to be a part of this special event and to be able to help them achieve their goals."

 

 

"I want to be involved in the Canada Summer Games program because I believe there are few experiences in life like attending a multi-sports event whether as a participant or a staff member/coach; making it difficult to pass up the opportunity to be a part of it! In addition, as a woman in sport, I have numerous women who have inspired me to dream big and achieve my goals. By continuing my development and being selected to be on the Canada Games staff, I hope to continue to break barriers for future women and girls. I believe that if you can see it, it ignites the possibilities within yourself.

 

 

"I am excited for this opportunity to represent Saskatchewan Soccer. I am hoping to learn and support this great group of people on this journey to the Canada Summer Games. Let's go Sk!"

 

 

"I am excited to be with the 2021 Canada Summer Games program as a goalkeeper coach as I believe it is incredibly beneficial to both the team and the individual goalkeeper to have a coach trained in the position. My hope is that I will be able to share my knowledge and learn and grow from the other coaches involved in the program."

 

 

 

"For me, being involved in the Canada Summer Games program is a win-win situation. I would have the opportunity to pass on knowledge that I have learned over my time as a player and a coach, while also gaining valuable new skills and lessons from the players and other staff. Being able to work with Saskatchewan's top athletes in a sport that has meant so much to me would be an incredible experience."

"I am excited to be a part of the 2021 Canada Summer Games program. I think it is a fantastic opportunity to share the knowledge that I have gained as a player and give back, in a coaching role, to a soccer community that has given so much to me. I also believe that it will be an excellent opportunity to learn and enrich my coaching journey. To be selected as a member of such an experienced coaching staff tasked with preparing young players for such an important competition is an absolute honour."

Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame Membership and Donation Campaign

Over the holiday season, Sask Soccer was proud to partner with Pro-Camp, a unique soccer camp where young players could meet professional hometown players Thomas Hasal and Brett Levis.

 

The Holiday Pro-Camp running December 27-29 in Saskatoon at the Elite PROformance Centre was a great success. Open for players in the U7 to U15 age categories, the program was designed for participants to hone their soccer skills, while also learning new skills.

 

Thomas Hasal is a goalkeeper for the Vancouver Whitecaps in Major League Soccer, he played youth soccer with Aurora Soccer Club in Saskatoon before joining the Whitecaps Academy.

 

Brett Levis, a former Vancouver Whitecaps player was the first born and raised Saskatchewan player in the MLS. Levis is currently a midfielder for Canadian Premier League club, Valour FC in Winnipeg. Levis played youth soccer with Saskatoon United Soccer Club then went on to star with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies before his professional career.

 

This was an excellent opportunity for young players to gain knowledge and insight from current MLS and CPL professional players who were once in their shoes. They hosted a question-and-answer session to help participants learn more about soccer at its higher levels. As well they gave away some great prizes including a raffle for a signed game-worn MLS jersey. An autograph signing session was also held for all those in attendance.
