This year South Wasco Co (SWC) Elementary School will have a "Little Dribblers Team" during basketball season. Little Dribblers do not compete, they show their skills at half-time of the home high school basketball games by dribbling and shooting at a lowered hoop, garnering applause and learning fundamentals. Research has shown that participation in team sports is fun and beneficial to younger children who are not yet eligible to play on a team. It increases School Spirit and camaraderie with each other. It's also really, really cute!
Girls and boys ages Kindergarten through 4th grade are eligible to participate. The team will perform only at home games, about 10 games per year. There will be a few practices prior to the first game, and a few more through the season.
There will be no cost, Jessy Rose of Total Real Estate Group is sponsoring the team. Please contact Jessy at 541-993-5936 or RealtorJessyRose@gmail.com to let her know if your child would like to participate and what is their t-shirt size.

Our South Wasco seventh graders were just amazing at the Rube a-thon at CGCC ! They competed against 25 teams and all 5 of our teams finished in the top 8! All top 4 teams to finish first were from SWC! Unfortunately we were unable to stay for awards so I am not sure if any of our teams won the competition, but they will send us any awards if we did! Good job SWC 7th Grade!
