Southwest Sask high school sports gets going

From Frontier School 

With our fall school sport programs up and running, the energy and joy of sport was evident on the football fields, volleyball courts, soccer pitches, cross country trails and golf courses as practices were in full swing. It was a very exciting past weekend as our SWAC teams were able to travel and take part in competitions outside our division.

Follow SWACSports on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.  As teams send me pictures and updates, it will go out on our social media platforms.

SWAC will be hosting an ONLINE Volleyball Official clinic on Wednesday, September 15 at 6:00.  Please contact your school athletic director with any questions.   The link to the clinic is http://meet.google.com/roe-mpwq-pnf.  No need to pre-register.  All SWAC schools pay provincial rates when you officiate junior/senior level competitions (exhibition, league, tournaments). How easy will it be to learn to officiate from the comfort of your home!!

Our first SWAC championship is in golf.  The gr 9-12 competition will take place on Wednesday, September 15 at the Shaunavon Golf Course. Start time is tentatively 11:00.  The top 4 boys and top 4 girls will advance to the SHSAA Provincial Championship on September 24/25 in Rosthern.

In 9-man football action the exhibition game, scheduled for Sept 10th, between Shaunavon and Maple Creek was cancelled.  Plans are ongoing to add a “5th quarter” to future games to add playing time for the kids.
