Try to name a past or present member of the High School Baseball, Basketball, or Soccer team, who started playing their sport as a freshman. Most, if not all of the students who participate in High School sports, start playing these sports at a very young age, and continue to play them through high school and college. If you are interested in the great sport of football, you now have an opportunity to play before you get into high school. As a member of Haddam Killingworth Youth Football you will be well prepared for the HK High School Football Team. If you are a Haddam Killingworth resident and want to play High School football, then Haddam Killingworth Youth Football is the best place to start.
