From an email sent by Athletics and Activities Director Ante Udovicic to South Milwaukee School District parents on Sunday …
Dear South Milwaukee Community,
We are excited to announce a new chapter in South Milwaukee’s football program. Please join us in welcoming Dylian Nimmer as our new head football coach. Coach Nimmer brings a wealth of experience and passion for the game, and we are confident that he will be a great leader for our student-athletes.
Coach Nimmer has 10 years of coaching experience, including as an assistant coach at St. Norbert College, the University of Minnesota, UW-Oshkosh, and UNLV. His dedication to building strong, disciplined teams and developing student-athletes both on and off the field is exactly what we were looking for in a coach.
Nimmer, who lives in Waukesha, also has deep local ties and played against South Milwaukee as a Baby Redcat. In the short term, Coach Nimmer will meet with his coaching staff and with the team after school this week. He is excited to meet the team and begin off-season workouts with the team and planning summer contact days, 7 on 7s and ultimately a successful 2025 football season.
In addition to his coaching expertise, Coach Nimmer is deeply committed to fostering a positive, supportive team environment and believes in the importance of teamwork, character development, and hard work.
Thank you to the search committee members for their work in reviewing candidates for this position and for your continued support of our athletics program!
Congratulations, and welcome to South Milwaukee, Coach Nimmer!
And a deep and heartfelt thank you to Coach Pete Dufek, who served in that position for five seasons, guiding the program through the pandemic and making a lasting impact on many young lives during difficult times. Thank you for your continued hard work on behalf of Rocket student-athletes, Pete.
