This is also a GREAT opportunity for any youth that are interested in competing, leading up to the Saskatchewan Winter Games that are scheduled in Regina for February 20-26.
SWA has funding available through Sask Sport and the Indigenous Coaches and Officials program (ICOP) which we will utilize to set aside for specific opportunities for growth in Saskatchewan. The growth of an Olympic weightlifting club in La Ronge is such a great opportunity to learn! I have attached the ICOP website if you would like to read more.

ICOP will cover the cost 100% for all Aboriginal and Metis attendees. The cost for Non-Aboriginal or Metis attendees is $350. We will require a $100 down payment which will be refunded once the course has been completed (Non-refundable if not completed). The tentative dates we are looking at running this clinic are July 17th & 18th 2021.
We highly recommend participating in this clinic if you would like get a much deeper understanding and learn about Olympic weightlifting from coaches who have years and years of experience in the sport. If you are interested, please call or text Emma @ 306-425-8689 or email [email protected]. Once we have a good idea about the number of people who want to attend the course, we will set up a payment plan on the SWA website. We encourage anyone who is interested in perusing Olympic weightlifting to become a member of SWA. Senior memberships are $60 and Junior are $30. These memberships give us the ability to apply for funding to get more coaches to come up to La Ronge, to get more equipment, and have competitions. I have attached the link to bring you directly to the SWA website.

We will need to have all interested individuals’ payments in before July 1st, 2021 as we will need to communicate to ICOP about funding required. Please reach out to Emma if you have any questions!
