Dear Coach:

In 1986, Mount Royal amalgamated our annual senior girls’ and boys’ tournaments with the intent to provide a highly competitive tournament that would feature some of the top teams from western . The timing of this tournament allows teams to engage in high quality matches near the end of their seasons to prepare for their playoff and provincial goals. The 35th annual combined tournament, MUSTANG VOLLEY, will take place at Mount Royal Collegiate on October 22nd, 23rd, & 24th, 2020. Teams will be guaranteed seven two set matches and the possibility of two additional best of three matches. (There will be no bronze {3rd place match} for the consolation side.)

In keeping with the tradition and the goals of Mustang Volley, the combined tournament has been designed with the intent to develop a high level of play. The organizing committee will consider teams based on the following priorities:

✓ The top three senior girls’ teams and the top three boys’ teams in Saskatoon ✓ Out-of-province, or out of country teams ✓ 5A, 4A, 3A, 2A and 1A medalists ✓ Other Saskatchewan teams

You are invited to apply to participate in Mustang Volley 2020. Applications will be accepted by our organizing committee until May 22nd, 2020, according to the criteria noted above. We encourage you to consider applying to participate. Please submit your entry early. Sending in your application does not mean you are accepted; it means our selection committee will consider your application. The organizing committee plans to finalize the list of competing teams in late May or early June. If accepted, you will be notified by both email and a letter of your acceptance.

Enclosed is all the tournament information. Please observe the entry deadline of May 22nd, 2020, and email the application package to [email protected] if you have any questions please contact Vance Booth at [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you at Mount Royal’s Mustang Volley.
