Lethbridge Sport Council looking for athletes to join Team Lethbridge at the SASG

A release states the SASG is an inclusive family-orientated grassroots sporting event, emphasizing physical and social involvement for everyone. Team Lethbridge is looking for athletes whether they’re competing in a sport for the first time, or as a seasoned veteran.

In addition to the athletic events, there will also be a variety of other cultural events including the Opening Ceremonies on July 4, the photography display, and closing ceremonies on July 7.

An estimated 2,500 athletes and their families from areas across Southern Alberta will be visiting Taber and the MD of Taber for the Games, representing a total of 13 regions stretching from Medicine Hat to the Crowsnest Pass.

Team Lethbridge hopes to use their momentum from hosting the games in 2016, and a strong second overall finish in 2017, to bring 300+ participants to the 2018 games.

The registration fee for local athletes is $30, and that will allow athletes to participate in up to three different sports and/or activities.

Participants can choose to register online here or submit their completed forms in person to the Team Lethbridge head office on the second level of Nicholas Sheran Ice Centre.

The deadline for registration is June 6 at 5 p.m.
