Some Sioux Falls POWER athletes choose to complete their schooling through an online or remote education program during the season. Families who select this option are responsible for independently enrolling their student-athlete in an accredited online school of their choice.
Players utilizing online schooling may choose to meet together at the library or another public workspace to complete their schoolwork, however this is done independently by the families and players.
