Athletes experiencing boost in confidence ahead of BC Summer Games

PRINCE GEORGE – The BC Summer Games are 10 days away, and the athletes are putting the finishing touches on their preparation ahead of the four-day event.

When the Games open on July 21st, the City will see thousands of athletes from across the province converge. Meanwhile, this will be the first time the local athletes don’t need to travel to be a part of a provincial multi-sport tournament.

For girls volleyball, the Zone 8 team has spent the past few weekends training in Prince George and Dawson Creek. To think Dawson Creek is the most amount of travelling they’ll need to do is something new.

For some, given the impacts of the past few years, the BC Summer Games have provided a boost of confidence. For many of these athletes, this is the biggest athletic achievement thus far and may act as the launchpad to bigger opportunities as they progress through their athletic careers.

The 14-girl roster features seven girls from Prince George. The others are from Dawson Creek and Fort St. John. In addition to the competition, the roster is a 7-player non-competition roster. Those girls are on the younger side of the eligibility for the Games and are using this opportunity to receive top-level coaching in preparation for future BC Games.

The Prince George 2022 BC Summer Games get underway July 21, and run through to July 24.
