At Play Sask, our number one priority is to create a fun, welcoming, inclusive environment to play and socialize with friends. We believe in friendly, open communication, and in providing our players with good quality equipment and facilities. We want teams to have fun and make friends; good sportsmanship is rewarded, and social events bring teams together.The idea for Play Sask started in a swimming pool, and the business was built through text messages and GIFs. Having fun is at the core of our philosophy. As rec sport players ourselves, we want to play in a league that reflects our values, and makes having fun the number one priority. The Play Sask co-owners are Jennifer Ballantyne, Ashleigh Mattern, Jordan Mears, and Jesse Preiner; feel free to get in touch with us anytime if you have feedback or questions.
