About Us

The Woodland Jr. Wolves program serves youth within the Woodland High School attendance boundaries. Our goal is for athletes participating in our program to become immersed in the mental attitude that will enable them to grow in the sport and to have the potential of participating in high school athletics. We strive to create a community atmosphere between the WJW organization and Woodland High School programs so that both programs support each other and provide great opportunities for the athletes in our community. We encourage our members to attend Woodland High School Football events in support of these goals. Visit their website at: www.woodland-wjusd-ca.schoolloop.com.

If you are interested in assisting our program, or have ideas to improve our program, please contact a WJW Executive Board Member. Your participation and ideas are always welcome!
