Wessington Springs is exploring the possibility of
starting a youth football program in conjunction with its coop partner schools
Woonsocket and Sanborn Central. To get started they need to determine how much
interest there would be in such a program. With enough interest this youth
program would take place in Wessington Springs beginning in August 2013. This
opportunity is for students in grades 3-6 for the 2013-14 school year. Note
that this program is not a school sponsored activity, so there will be a small
fee for participating to offset equipment upkeep. If interested, parents and
athletes are asked to attend a youth football meeting on Monday, February 25 at
6:30 p.m. in the commons area of the Woonsocket School. If a parent cannot
attend but their child is interested in playing, please contact Nathan Hainy at
605-339-1432 or nathan.hainy@k12.sd.us.
