The inaugural All-Nations Indigenous Volleyball Tournament 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.
The 2025 tournament will be hosted in Edmonton, Alberta, by the Indigenous Sport Council of Alberta (ISCA) in collaboration with the Aboriginal Sport Circle and PTASBs in July 2025.
Divisions:
Information regarding athlete and coach selection for the Indigenous "All-Nations" team will be released closer to the event. Athletes will be selected from across Canada; this approach ensures a diverse and inclusive representation of Indigenous talent, enhancing both the competitive spirit and cultural depth of the "All-Nations" teams.
The Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and KidSport Alberta have teamed up for the THIRD year to launch the KidSport Oil County Hockey Assist Program (HAP)! The HAP program is dedicated to increasing access to youth hockey across Oil Country!
Approved applicants are eligible to receive up to $750 per player for their registration fees, as well as access to no-cost equipment from Sport Central.
Both KidSport Alberta and the Indigenous Sport Council of Alberta (ISCA) recognize the importance of doing more to assist Indigenous children into sport. They are committed to doing their part by providing funding for sport registration fees to help break down one of the many barriers of sport participation. Indigenous families in Alberta that live in areas of the province not covered by a local KidSport chapter now have a specific online application to apply for KidSport funding
We’re thrilled to announce that the Indigenous Sport Council of Alberta (ISCA) has officially joined the Confederation of Independent Football Associations (CONIFA)! This historic milestone makes ISCA the first Canadian organization in years to become part of the CONIFA family.
This partnership opens new pathways for Indigenous athletes to showcase their talent, honor their cultures, and compete on the global stage in CONIFA tournaments.
ISCA’s vision is to build high-performance men’s, women’s, and youth soccer teams to represent Indigenous communities. With recent successes at the 2023 North American Indigenous Games—including gold, silver, and bronze medals in soccer—our athletes are ready to shine internationally!
Plans for upcoming competitions are already underway. ISCA has launched an Expression of Interest form for Indigenous athletes eager to compete.
This is just the beginning of an exciting journey! Stay tuned for more updates.
