VIKING FOOTBALL FEST: THE SEASON STARTS HERE!

Get ready for the 2026 Viking Football Fest! Formally known as the Watermelon Scrimmage, this action-packed event is the ultimate way to ignite excitement for the upcoming season.

Watch our Varsity Vikings in action as they hit the field to prepare for the gridiron. For our future Vikings, this is your moment to shine! Youth players will have the unique opportunity to participate in warm-up drills alongside the high school team and showcase their own skills in scrimmages against other KCFC-West teams and the Middle School Wildcats.

It’s a day of community, camaraderie, and a true celebration of Shawnee Mission West Football. Whether you're a player, a parent, or a fan from Overland Park or Lenexa, come out and help us kick off the season with Viking Pride!
