Athlete Testimony: Agoojin opened the door for me as a First Nations Youth. Each Agoojin coach wants the very best for you in life and in volleyball, I played for them. The coaches care about you as a competitor, but also as a person. They will go to great lengths to ensure that you are the best player possible.

Athlete Testimony: Boozhoo, my name is Tessa Traverse. I am a former Agoojin volleyball player and was recently asked to be an assistant coach for Agoojin. I am graduating high school this year – Class of 2021 and will be attending the University of Manitoba in the fall. Agoojin has taught me how to be successful and confident not only in sports but also in life. I learnt that I am a role model for the younger generations, they see me as a older sister/cousin/relative who is succeeding in what she loves doing. Whether it’s being a listening ear or a helping hand. I’ll always be there to help. This opportunity has opened so many doors for me and my future. Huge thanks to Jayme & Tristan!
