VERMILLION, S.D.—South Dakota women's basketball head coach Dawn Plitzuweit is pleased to announce that the women's basketball kids club, Coach P's Pack, is back for its fifth season in 2020-21. All girls entering grades 3-8 are encouraged to join Coach P's Pack to gain exclusive access to the Coyotes.
 
"We absolutely love the bonds that are formed between our players and the girls that are members of Coach P's Pack," said Plitzuweit. "The girls in Coach P's Pack are in their formidable years of development and we love the fact that our young ladies can be mentors in this situation. This has been a challenging time with all of the uncertainty of COVID-19, but we are committed to finding a way to make this a great experience for all of the girls who join our Pack!
 
"We will continue to write letters, we will provide digital content and we will do everything we can to make this a positive learning environment. Through this, our goal is to make a lasting impact on the young girls in this region. Please help us to continue to grow our Pack."
 
Membership to Coach P's Pack includes letters from Coyote players throughout the school year, a clinic with Plitzuweit and the team, a T-shirt, free admission to a USD home game, a custom in-game video board message, coupon codes for discounted tickets and an invitation to Coach P's Pack Night with a pre-game on-court experience.
 
There could be potential changes to the membership offering due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but Coyote women's basketball will continue to provide content and virtual basketball learning opportunities if any of the benefits are canceled.
 
Parents can return the application with the $30 membership fee to the USD athletic department. Further details are provided on the attached flyer.
