Sabers invitational high school girls volleyball festival

Friday-Saturday, 2-3 September 2022
After a 2-year hiatus, we're back! Mark your calendar. More info to be posted here later. See below for how past events have been run. This one will be similar. Even Coach Kobo and Coach Hirai will look exactly the same as they did a few years ago.

2022 MATCH SCHEDULE (tentative)

Welcome, volleyball players, coaches, and fans.
Greetings from the Senri & Osaka International Schools (SOIS) of Kwansei Gakuin, and welcome to the annual Sabers Invitational Girls Volleyball Festival (aka, the “Takako Cup”).

This is a one-and-a-half-day event with 3 or 4 teams playing Friday after school, and then more teams joining for a full day on Saturday. This is a friendly volleyball festival designed to get in some early season experiences. No trophies, no stress.
​
​
​Thanks, everyone. The Sabers look forward to seeing you.​
Two legendary WJAA volleyball coaches.
​Hey, coaches, can we keep our emotions in check, please?
​Relax a little, why don't you?

Another Sabers Invitational high school girls volleyball festival is in the books. Thank you, everyone, for your cooperation and camaraderie.
​It was great to see some familiar faces - both players and coaches - and also to see a few new faces, too. We finished in good time, and I 
had a good time, so let's do it again next year, shall we? (Feedback welcome.)  ​
