Athlete development was a major focus this quarter. Saskatchewan sent athletes, coaches, and a team manager to the Rhythmic Golden Camp in Montreal, where they trained with internationally recognized coaches.

We also hosted a three-day WAG training camp with guest coach Carol-Angela Orchard, featuring 15 hours of high-level instruction, along with sessions in mental training, pilates, and parent education. |
