WYAA has Completed On-site Earth-Moving and Grading. Grass is Growing on 4 Fields!!
Westport Youth Athletic Association (WYAA) is a non-profit organization formed to build a community sports complex in Westport, Massachusetts.
It has been a year of great achievement for our Field Project! In Spring 2020 Four (4) Baseball/Softball Fields will be used by Westport Youth!!
We have set a end of year campaign goal of $10,000 to start on this Giving Tuesday, November 27 (#GivingTuesday). The gifts will go towards buying the lawn-mowing and landscaping equipment needed to operate the site thoughtfully in 2020.
Longer term, we continue to raise funds for 3 all-purpose fields, 2 more baseball fields, a playground, a walking track, paved driveways and parking areas, as well as lots of other amenities – our Board and our community will keep plugging away!
Why does Westport Need Sports Fields?
- Baseball / Softball leagues have 600+ kids; 45 teams and 6 spread out play areas.
- Future Site of Coach Susan Fontaine’s fast-growing Hooked-on-hockey seasonal Field Hockey program.
- Soccer has 500+ kids over 2 seasons.
- Kids are playing on fields that are the wrong size for their age/ability level.
- When the schools need the fields, the youth leagues get bumped.
- Field improvements and repairs must go through the School Department rather than being done on the spot.
- The Westport School Fields are not available for family or pickup games.
Now, more than ever, we need to build these fields!
