The LLRIB Athletic Association was created to get more LLRIB kids and youth, from our six member communities, active and involved by participating in various sports and recreation events. In following our Vision & Mission, today was really the first hosted-event envisioned by the Athletic Association with SMVS Athletics and JRMCC Sports & Recreation co-hosting the inaugural Intro to Volleyball Tournament. This was a co-ed Peewee-aged event for grade 5 & 6 students. We also invited our local and regional schools to participate for a total of 12 Band and NLSD teams.
Congratulations to Keethanow Elementary School (KES) from Stanley Mission on winning the championship. Nihithow Awasis School from Grandmother’s Bay (GMB) took silver and Sally Ross School from Hall Lake earned the bronze.
Thank you to the Kendall Mirasty for coordinating the event and Percy Mirasty for providing assistance and seeking out sponsors. Thanks also to all those who helped with event set-up, officiating, coaching and chaperoning!
