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 sixth season in 2021-22. All girls entering grades 3-8 are encouraged to join Coach P's Pack to gain exclusive access to the Coyotes.
 
"We love the bond that is created between our players and the young girls who join our Pack!" said Plitzuweit. "We are thrilled that we will be able to host our clinic again this year as there is such a great energy and connection that is achieved through that day. The fun doesn't end there though as our players send letters throughout the year and we have a special day together during the season as well. This has been a wonderful way for us to get to know so many young girls and we are looking forward to that experience again!"
 
Membership to Coach P's Pack includes a two-hour clinic with Plitzuweit and the team, a T-shirt, letters from Coyote players throughout the season, 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.
 
The basketball clinic is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 26, from 1-3 p.m. Coach P's Pack members will have the opportunity to learn and improve on basketball fundamentals through drills, competitions and fun games. The clinic will focus on passing, ball handling, shooting and concepts of the game. An autograph session with the Coyote women's basketball team will follow the clinic.
 
South Dakota women's basketball is coming off its third-straight NCAA Tournament experience in 2021. The Coyotes return 13 players from last year's squad, including all five starters.
 
Parents can return the application with the $30 membership fee to the USD athletic department. Further details are provided on the attached flyer.
