Organizing of the two-day ASAA championship weekend has been done by The Roar Athletic Committee (TRAC) at Notre Dame High School, and was spearheaded by Gino Castellan, a former long-time coach of the Notre Dame Cougars football program.

“Our committee worked really hard to provide stuff for teams, coaches, officials and volunteers. The facility can’t be beat; Setters Place is beautiful,” he says of providing a great experience for all involved, the players in particular on their big day. “You’d assume it’s the goal of every team to make the provincial finals because it means you’re one of the best teams in the province.”

Tickets are $15/day and can be purchased at the venue.

The forecast as of Wednesday, Nov. 22 is for sunshine both days, with a high of -3° Friday and +2° Saturday.
