Summary
[Alwyn Piche]'s love affair with volleyball started in Grade 1 when his father taught him how to play the sport. Piche's father was the principal of the school Piche attended, as well as the volleyball coach.
"He would be teaching it and coaching older players, and I would be standing around, and then I would listen to him," said Piche. "And then I would try to do the things he was teaching the other players to do."Today, the Grade 12 student is recognized as one of the best amateur athletes in Saskatchewan, and one of the best amateur Aboriginal athletes in Canada. In March of this year, he received two top sports awards. Sask Sport proclaimed him Saskatchewan's Youth Athlete of the Year for 2004. He was also selected as one of Saskatchewan's 2004 Tom Longboat Award recipients, handed out annually by the Aboriginal Sport Circle.See the full content of this document
