ABERDEEN, SD: The Northern State football team took a day off of practice today to participate in the “Day of Champions”. The day long event saw over 120 athletes and coaches work in conjunction with the United Way to volunteer their time in a community service project around the City of Aberdeen and surrounding communities.

NSU volunteers assisted at the YMCA, Safe Harbor, New Beginnings, Aberdeen Parks and Recreation, the City of Aberdeen, Tiger Post Community Education Center and SPURS. The players and coaches assisted with jobs such as renovating the castle at Storybook Land, cleaning, city beautification, landscaping and painting.

Northern will have the day off of practice on Sunday and will resume multiple practices on Monday and throughout the next week.
