Program Overview
The Williston Football program has a proud and distinguished heritage with remarkable stability. The program has only had three coaches at the helm since 1958. The team competes in the NEPSAC Class A League, arguably the most competitive conference in New England. Williston is proud of the fact that we currently have 30 of our graduating seniors on current college rosters and over 20 of them playing at the Division 1 level. Additionally, eight of our former players are on Ivy League rosters. Our players are true student-athletes that strive to be champions in everything they do, whether that be on the field, in the classroom, or in the community. Regardless of prior football experience, the football program enthusiastically welcomes all. In addition to our varsity team, the program also fields a JV team that plays a six-game schedule.
