Agoojin Volleyball

That’s a wrap on club season 2026!

Lucky us: Four Treaty One Metis and Anishinaabe artists shared their knowledge and expertise with Agoojin athletes this season.

We thank them! Maarsii. Miigwetch.

These talented folks created safe spaces for us to connect with our identities and ancestors, and to share ourselves and our strengths outside of volleyball with each other.

Thank you to WASAC for supporting these workshops.

🤍🪽Adrian Allard was an avid sports fan, athlete and outdoorsman. Raised by a single mother alongside his sister in the heart of Treaty 1, volleyball was where he truly found his community. Adrian’s younger sister, Averie Allard, shared this love for volleyball, playing at the University of Saskatchewan where for 6 seasons while obtaining her teaching degree through a Metis-specific program. For the last few years Averie has been playing professionally overseas in Italy, Switzerland, Serbia and currently Hungary. In the Summer she competes internationally with the Canadian National team.
In 2016, when Adrian was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, the volleyball community rallied around their family. It was also the volleyball community who rallied around Averie as she grieved the loss of her brother. For these reasons and more, Averie and her mother are glad to give back to help other Indigenous youth access the opportunities she had in order to achieve their athletic dreams.

Pictures are in! Here’s a sneak peek :)
