What an easy way for our farm community to give back to our youth athletes this harvest season! Exciting things happening.

FROM GRAIN TO GROWTH

Big things are ahead for Griswold Youth Sports. We’ve acquired additional ground next to our existing Little League fields, with plans to expand our youth sports complex to include more baseball/softball and soccer fields!

🌽 FARMERS, YOU CAN HELP MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Griswold Youth Sports is now accepting grain donations through Scoular to help fund the expansion!

Simply deliver bushels in care of “Griswold Youth Sports” or contact the Scoular grain team in HANCOCK to allocate bushels toward our project.

Other ways to give:

Mail: PO Box 491, Griswold, IA 51535

Every donation helps us grow opportunities for our local kids!

Tell me you play sports in a small farm community without telling me you play sports in a small farm community… 🌽⚽️

Harvest has officially begun for many of our local farmers, and last night’s soccer practice came with a little extra entertainment.

There’s something pretty sweet about watching our older youth still get SO much joy out of something as simple as convincing a passing semi loaded with grain to toot its horn. 😂

They had a great practice — while also successfully getting about 20 out of 30 trucks to honk at them. 😂

Enjoy this little clip of some small-town harvest season fun. Share it with a farmer so we can say thanks for having fun with our youth soccer players!

The team that twins together, wins together.

It's Twin Day for Homecoming Week at Griswold CSD and some of our U15 crew showed up looking the best.

Teamwork looks a little different in every moment.

Sometimes it’s tying your goalkeeper’s shoes because their gloves are already on. 😂🧤⚽️
Sometimes it’s reminding a teammate to keep their head up after a tough play.
Sometimes it’s celebrating a great pass or a hard-earned goal.

Our U15 team kicked off the season today with a tough game against Harlan, and there was so much to be proud of.

This season, we welcomed both returning and BRAND-NEW players to our team — and that feels like a win all on its own. At an age when so many kids, especially girls, begin stepping away from sports, we have pr***en athletes choosing to step onto a soccer field and try something completely new.

And they aren’t just trying it — they’re learning, competing and already showing us what they’re capable of.

Wins at this age aren’t always found on the scoreboard.

Sometimes the biggest win is simply getting kids onto the field, helping them find a place they belong and watching them discover that they can do hard things.
