SportsLife - July 11, 2018

School’s Over, Let’s Get Outside
It’s that time of year here at SportsLife when we do our best
to be out of doors and away from our devices as much as
possible.
It’s also the time of year when our athletes ditch the rink
and the gym for a little softball, baseball, rugby, football,
ultimate, beach volleyball and golf. It’s summer, in
Manitoba we try to make the best of it.
In this, the latest edition of SportsLife, we honour the stars
of the 2017-2018 indoor season – our best volleyball players,
a basketball program called Ignite (our cover subject), the
2018 Induction Class of the Manitoba Sports Hall of Fame
and the best badminton players in the country.
However, we also fete the thousands of participants in the
2018 Manitoba Marathon – the 40th Anniversary, by the
way – and a rising star at Assiniboia Downs. We set you up
for the 2018 Winnipeg High School Football League season
with the entire league schedule and pay tribute to three
former WHSL stars who will represent Canada at the World
Junior Championship this month.
And we also let you know everything you need to know
about the 2018 World Men’s and Women’s Masters Ultimate
Club Championships which will be held at Maple Grove
Rugby Park and Investors Group Field at the end of July.
It’s a busy month and a busy summer and before you head
back indoors in September, enjoy Manitoba’s outdoor
sporting season and take a copy of SportsLife with you to
the lake.
