Westside Connection is a non-profit organiza-

tion. We provide athletic opportunity for the

youth of our Westside neighborhood. Youth

who attend a West High School feeder school

and students who attend West Middle School

qualify to participate in programs offered. We

are currently offering programming for children

in grades 3-8. We work closely with the head or

assistant varsity coaches at West High to imple-

ment their terminology, team rules, style of play,

practice drills, etc.

Westside Connection strives to be an inclusive

organization, and to offer programing as di-

verse as the communities we serve. Today,

Westside Connection is able to give interested

youth a low cost opportunity to experience the

commitment, the challenge, and the fun of a

competitive experience in basketball, volley-

ball, and football. But WC exists to fulfill a mis-

sion for tomorrow. That mission is to someday be

able to offer, at little or no cost, something of

interest to every youth in the diverse community

that we serve: Sioux City’s Westside.

CONNECTION

NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

Although coaches and volunteers contrib-

ute significantly through their own re-

sources, through fund raising, and through

countless hours on the courts and fields, ad-

ditional funds are needed to realize the

dream. Westside Connection hosts several

fundraisers in order to raise money to con-

tinue to grow as well as support our activi-

ties we already have established. We hold

car washes, participate in tip nights at local

restaurants, host pancake breakfasts, and

even cook for a spaghetti dinner/silent auc-

tion. Everyone is welcome to be a part of

Westside Connection,

Our highly regarded basketball program

is structured to teach the fundamentals

of dribbling, footwork and shooting. Alt-

hough the focus is on skills, the program

also supports the youth competitive spir-

it, as it teaches sportsmanship, team-

work, personal fitness, and personal ex-

cellence.

Our volleyball program is a fun healthy

way to learn the basics, and improve

skills. With an emphasis on passing,

skill drills, and strategy, our volleyball

program has proven to develop partici-

pants as team players, and as individu-

als. Lots of game play helps the skills

and new techniques learned take root,

and ready the youth for friendly competi-

tion as well as tournament level play.

Our football program challenges youth

to excel both mentally and physically.

The program is physically centered on

teaching a solid foundation of football

fundamentals, but also offers condition-

ing, and training techniques to improve

speed, balance, and endurance. The

program also provides a healthy social

outlet, and team building skills that will

last a lifetime.
