2025 ALL NATIONS VOLLEYBALL SHOWCASE

2024

The inaugural All-Nations Indigenous Volleyball Showcase was held in July 2024 at York University in Toronto, hosted by Indigenous Sports and Wellness Ontario (ISWO) with support from the Aboriginal Sport Circle. This event brought together four “All-Nations” Canada teams, formed through collaboration with PTASBs, and two teams from New Zealand AMP Volleyball, facilitating both competition and cultural exchange. A core component of the tournament is fostering cultural connection and mutual understanding, helping to strengthen bonds between Indigenous communities in Canada and New Zealand.
