The 2022 Local Pass Punt Competition took place on George Lamb Field in Wynyard on October 28 for everybody. 

This year’s local competition had 12 Grade 3 kids compete in the 8 and under competition, 29 athletes competed in the 10 and under competition, 33 athletes participated in the 12 and under category and 40 athletes from Grade 8 and 9 competed in the 14 and under competition for a total of 119 participants.

“Pass Punt Kick is a Football Saskatchewan-driven initiative to promote football skill development in youth. These skills will help youngsters to go on to possibly participate or excel in touch, flag, or tackle football. Thank you to Sask Tel for sponsoring this program province-wide,” said Morris Sokul, head football coach of WCHS.

The data was collected by volunteer students from Math 9 and Math Foundations 30 classes and was also run by them.
