A talented local foursome is hoping for a clean sweep in the beach volleyball ranks at the BC Summer Games.

MEI students Emma Gamache, Teagen Boughen, Ashley Huberts and Karissa Marazzi are all representing the Fraser Valley Zone at the Games, and they bring with them a ton of experience in the sport - both on the sand and the hardwood.

The expectations are high for the Fraser Valley girls rugby team at the Abbotsford 2016 BC Summer Games later this month, and a pair of Mission players should be a big part of it.

Mission Secondary students Kyra Lipke and Kate Baker have joined forces with their Valley rivals in Langley and Abbotsford to put together a local super team to battle the best in the province.

A legendary Abbotsford coach has been chosen to participate in the BC Games Coach Mentorship Program as part of the Abbotsford 2016 BC Summer Games.

13 year old Maya Lutz loves to dance.

Maya, who has been dancing since she was three years old, recently completed grade 7 at KLO Middle School in Kelowna and has been travelling back and forth to Abbotsford regularly to participate in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2016 BC Summer Games.

She carried the BC Summer Games torch into Abbotsford, and she hopes to leave the event carrying a medal.

Abbotsford's Tausani Levale, who starts Grade 12 at Abbotsford Senior in the fall, is the team captain and most important player on the Fraser Valley girls rugby team at the Games.

Abbotsford is set to be well represented at the 2016 BC Summer Games.

The host city has athletes competing in every single sport except for sailing and canoe/kayak. There are also several coaches and officials from Abbotsford offering their services to the Games.
