LANGLEY, B.C. – Incoming Trinity Western women's volleyball players Kaylee Plouffe (Sherwood Park, Alta.) and Kendra Kern (Edmonton) will once again have an opportunity to be part of Volleyball Canada's program this summer, as both players named to Canada's U20 virtual training group. 

Both Plouffe and Kern, who will come to TWU this fall, will be joining the Red and White for the second year in a row, having represented Canada at last summer's FIVB U18 World Championship.

Team Canada has prepared the program to further connect, educate, and continue the development of the selected athletes as Canada looks towards World Championship qualification in 2021.

The athletes will be engaged through various sessions in July and August including support from Team Canada staff on technical, tactical, physical, and mental skill development.
