Three Douglas College students are among the 39 players invited to a Volleyball Canada training camp in Quebec.
George Thompson, a 2015 Canadian Colleges’ Athletic Association All-Canadian and PacWest player of the year, PacWest first team all-star Matt Santema and Caleb Konrad will all be vying for a spot on the Canadian junior national team this week.
The Douglas trio joined seven other CCAA student-athletes attending the National Training Centre in Gatineau, Que.
Last year, the junior team qualified for the upcoming under-21 World championships in Mexico in September.
The selected team will also compete at the World Student Games in South Korea in July.
