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. |

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.)
