Hello Town Residents

I would like to give everyone an update on our youth programs. First I would like to thank Linda and Mary Mccaulffe for teaching our tennis program for 2 weeks. We had 36 youth signed up and it was well-received by everyone. We are continuing to run a modified baseball softball program. Thanks to Brian and Emily Sypek, Brian Marino, Kyle Siskavich, Jacob Cummings, Kirsten Ojida-Blair, and Hannah Crouse for stepping up to run this program. We are all trying our best in this trying time. Lastly, we will continue our register for Soccer. I have extended the signup date to September 1st. If we do have soccer, it will start around September 21st. We are waiting for more guidance from the state to see if this is possible. We have plans in place (mask-wearing, social distancing, fewer teams and fewer fields) to allow all of our youth and residents to remain safe. Thanks to everyone for your understanding and support thru this trying time. Please stay safe as we all begin the slow process of organizing our new normal for youth sports.
