The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from the Athletic Director at Taylorville High School, at its Tuesday meeting at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.

Jason Hadley, a T-H-S grad, became Athletic Director in 2020 after previous positions in education.  He is responsible for scheduling games and matches for 19 different high school sports.  Hadley added that fall sports are underway including football, volleyball, cross country, boys and girls golf, boys soccer, girls tennis, cheer, dance, and band.

Highlights of Taylorville's fall sports include the volleyball team winning their first match of the season in the newly air-conditioned high school gym.

Hadley added there are also several new coaches leading teams this fall.

He shared that the high school building project is in full swing, which will provide students with a new choir room, new home for the Tommy TV video production class, and a new gym.  

Kiwanis Park committee co-chair Duane Stock reported that 6 Kiwanis members helped begin construction last Saturday on what will be a new climbing wall near the playground area at the park.  

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
