The Original Masters Sports Festival will make its debut in Saskatoon July 15-17, 2016. The inaugural co-ed sports festival, designed for mature athletes, will feature five sports in year one. Pickle Ball, 6 vs 6 Soccer, Jack & Jill Team Golf, Beach Volleyball, and the Four x 5K Walk/Run Relay, are being offered in a variety of 30+ age groups. Host sports venues include the SaskTel Sports Centre, Forest Park, and Greenbryre Golf and Country Club. The Festival site will be the Delta Bessborough Gardens. The event is expecting to draw participants from throughout Saskatchewan and possibly beyond.
Masters Sports Festival Director Hugh Vassos stated; “One of the fastest growing sports tourism market segments is masters games and we are now entering that market with the Masters Sports Festival. This is also a great example of a homegrown event meaning we created it for Saskatoon with the intent is to grow the event on an annual basis with additional sports and activities to attract more of the developing sports tourism market.” The event is proudly supported by Saskatoon Sports Tourism.
