Can I participate in more than one sport at a time during each tournament?

• Unfortunately, no-you can only participate in one sport per tournament at the Manitoba Indigenous Summer Games. This is to prevent scheduling conflicts, as each sport has its own set of games, practices, and commitments that often overlap. Limiting participation to one sport ensures the tournament runs smoothly and that athletes can fully commit to their team and schedule.
