OUR MISSION FOR FUTURE SKIPPERS
Participate in as many sports as you
possibly can. Fight the pressure to specialize
in any one sport and trust that the lessons
learned in different sports crossover and help
you far more than hurt you. Respect the season
you are in and dedicate yourself to your team
and your coaches. Learn to compete with class
and improve from your successes and failures.
You are the Future of Minnetonka
Football.
Go Tonka!
