NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT Although coaches and volunteers contribute significantly through their own resources, through fund raising, and through countless hours on the courts and fields, additional funds are needed to realize the dream. Westside Connection hosts several fundraisers in order to raise money to continue to grow as well as support our activities 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 auction. Everyone is welcome to be a part of Westside Connection,
Westside Connection is a non-profit organization. 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 implement their terminology, team rules, style of play, practice drills, etc. Westside Connection strives to be an inclusive organization, and to offer programing as diverse 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, volleyball, and football. But WC exists to fulfill a mission 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.

Volleyball (est. 2014) 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 participants as team players, and as individuals. Lots of game play helps the skills and new techniques learned take root, and ready the youth for friendly competition as well as tournament level play.
Basketball (est. 2008) Our highly regarded basketball program is structured to teach the fundamentals of dribbling, footwork and shooting. Although the focus is on skills, the program also supports the youth competitive spirit, as it teaches sportsmanship, teamwork, personal fitness, and personal excellence.
Football (est. 2016) 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 conditioning, 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.
