Vassalboro Recreation Committee Annual Report
The Vassalboro Recreation Committee is responsible for general oversight of the town’s organized youth recreational programs and its multi-use recreation facility on the Bog Road.
Youth Programs:
The success of the town’s youth programs can only be contributed to very gracious volunteers who donate hundreds of hours each year toward organizing, coaching, fund raising, field maintenance, and all other necessary activities. Generous donations from area businesses are very much appreciated and key in maintaining quality facilities, equipment, uniforms, etc. to give our kids experiences to be proud of. While administered separately, all programs share common goals, such as inclusive participation, physical fitness, sportsmanship, and teamwork, in addition to the teaching of fundamental skills for the various sports.
Our core programs currently include soccer, basketball, and baseball/softball and generally include youth ages 5-12 or grades Kindergarten through fifth, depending on the sport. These programs have been extremely successful and have experienced significant participation growth in recent years. All programs participate in the Dirigo League, where our teams play with other area towns including China, Chelsea, Windsor, Whitefield, and Jefferson.
Recreation Facility:
The Vassalboro Recreational Fields are located next to the Town Public Works garage on the Bog Road. They are currently used for soccer and baseball/softball. The basketball program and overflow baseball/softball activities are held at the Vassalboro Community School.
Field Projects:
Loaming and seeding of the multi-use field will be completed this spring. This would not have been possible without the help of Gene Field and the Public Works crew for all their work last fall getting the field graded and the ditching completed. Many thanks to Gene and other members of the crew.
A new project was started by the Youth Baseball/Softball League last fall to transform one of the older fields (the middle field) into an official youth softball field. The project entails a skinned infield and changing the field’s location and orientation to avoid reoccurring conflicts with other fields. Any contributions or donations of labor or equipment would be greatly appreciated to make this volunteer project a success this year.
