   “If youth are 14 or 15 and working on a farm or ranch that is not their family’s, they are required by law to attend a training,” said John Keimig, SDSU Extension 4-H Associate. “Because agriculture work can be dangerous, we encourage all youth who plan to engage in agriculture work to attend the training.” The trainings will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the first day at both locations and 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. the second day.
Independent study materials will be sent to 14-18 year-old participants. SDSU Extension personnel will be coordinating the training. Upon registration, participants will be sent a training manual. This will also include a list of the information that the students will be responsible for before arriving on site as part of the independent study portion of training.
    The first day will include demonstrations safety in agriculture, including tractor, PTO's, electrical, and working with pesticides, as well as a written test. The second day will focus on the driving requirements, and will also include a test. Completion of all of the above with passing scores is required to receive the USDOL Certificate of Completion.
Online Registration
For more information about this event, contact John Keimig, SDSU Extension 4-H Associate.

From True Fitness:  True Grit is a sport enhancement program that is tailored to the needs of the athlete and the demands of his or her sport(s).  True Grit focuses on speed, quickness, and agility as well as improving core stability, strength, and injury prevention.  Workouts are broken down into Thunder and Lightning days.  Thunder workouts focus on power, strength, stability, and grit.  Lightning workouts focus on speed, quickness, and agility.  True Grit is an intense and challenging workout, with the ultimate goal of improved dynamic and functional athletic performance to give you the edge over the competition.  True Grit is offered to the Junior High through College athlete.
                           We would like to hold our True Grit sessions at our site in Mitchell. If there would be a greater amount of athletes we could reach by coming to you we would be open to that idea.  Our summer program is an 8 week program where we would meet 3x per week for a total of 24 total training sessions.  Official start date is June 5th, 2017.  Cost of the program would be $250, but if broken down that’s a little over $10 per session.  That cost could be broken down further by our 10% discount added when kids sign up in larger groups together.  Linked below is our True Grit Handout with all the necessary information.
