Many players commented on how much they love this sport and that they will be back next year, encouraging words indeed for Sepak Takraw Saskatchewan. All their hard work has paid off. The next event for many of these top teams will now be to advance to the 2012 Canadian Open Sepak Takraw Championships that will be hosted at the University of Regina, July 21 and 21, where international teams from China, Malaysia and likely USA will also be competing in the International division.
