Local area volleyball player Elise Evanson is getting geared up to represent her country internationally next month in San Jose, Costa Rica.

The Panthers Volleyball Club and Magrath High School player was recently named to Team Canada’s U17 team that will be competing at the Norceca U17 Girls Continental Championship.

The U17 Continental Championships are a qualifier for the FIVB Volleyball Girls’ U17 World Championship which will take place next August in Chile.

“I was very excited my parents showed me the email and it made me feel really good ,” said Evanson.

It was after being a part of Team Alberta at Canada Cup this summer that Evanson received an email from Volleyball Canada to see if she would be interested in the national team.
