Welcome to the activities program at Winterset!  Winterset is a member of the Raccoon River Conference.  Other members of the conference are Adel-Desoto-Minburn, Ballard, Bondurant-Farrar, Boone, Carlisle, Carroll, Gilbert, and North Polk.  Our involvement in the RRC gives our student-athletes great exposure to the competitiveness of the league.

The Activities Department at Winterset Community Schools is committed to the overall vision and mission of the school.  The department strives to have its participants reach their full potential in all areas of participation.  It is my hope that your participation will be a rewarding one!  As a participant, you are held to the code of good conduct and also to academic requirements of the school system. When you choose to be a member of a team, you then choose to represent yourself, your team, your school, and community.  Please do so in a positive manner! 

Student participants are striving to succeed in two demanding areas simultaneously-­‐ academics and activities. Students have the responsibility of developing and working toward an educational goal as well as training in their sport or activity. The activities department encourages and assists students in maintaining academic eligibility so they can continue to participate. 

As a participant, you have the right to understand what expectations are placed on you.  As a parent, you have the right to understand what expectations are placed on your son or daughter.  This begins with clear communication from the coach or sponsor of the respective team or organization. Communication from the coach or sponsor should include: 

     • Philosophy of the coach/sponsor 

     • Location of games/events and practices 

     • Team requirements 

     • Team expectations, discipline, and behavior
