🏈 Bridgewater-Emery/Ethan Youth Football (Fall 2026 – Grades 3–6) 🏈
A group is in the early planning stages of putting together a Bridgewater-Emery/Ethan Youth Football team for students who will be in 3rd–6th grade this coming fall.
These teams would operate separately from the current SD Junior Football League and Parkston Area Youth Football League that many of our kids have participated in previously. This would be a community-based youth football program and is not affiliated with or sponsored by the Bridgewater-Emery or Ethan School Districts.
Right now, we are gathering interest so we can begin planning and determine next steps.
If you have a child(ren) who will be in 3rd–6th grade this fall and would be interested in playing, please fill out the following form ASAP so we can move forward with planning: https://forms.gle/A7dMkdcoAduxPs8b6
