Sinton Independent School District really scored with the addition of their newest extracurricular sport - soccer!
In a unanimous vote on Monday, March 17, the Sinton School Board approved adding a high school boys and girls soccer team for the 2025 - 2026 school year.
Sinton Soccer Club President Kelly Self saidthis has been a long time coming.
For years, sinton neighbors had been asking for a soccer team to be added. However, board members weren't too convinced, as they wanted to see more participation.
It wasn't until 3 years ago when the board really got together to make a plan.
The Sinton Soccer Club started out with 13 kids in the fall of 2023. Now there are 68 students playing and split into 7 teams.
"We're just so excited to be able to have a district that supports our kids in doing what they love," self said.
Over 35 students were in attendance at Monday's meeting.
