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
