La Farge Schools' Summer Rec Program extends our sincere appreciation to One Community Bank for their generous donation to our Summer Rec baseball and softball programs!
Each summer, our small community comes together in support of youth with a large scale summer ball league. Many of our students, from preschoolers playing tee ball, to incoming high school freshmen playing competitive 14U baseball and softball, participate in this summer program. We welcome the participation of children and families that live in other communities as well, and often have families who do not go to school at La Farge join us for Summer Rec.
Practices start the morning after the last day of school, and for the entire months of June and July, players come together on our ball fields for practices or games. Our community is greatly supportive - it is not uncommon for our baseball grandstand to have people on every step, with spectators standing behind it - while just two blocks away, our softball bleachers are at capacity, and the lawn behind it covered in lawn chairs and picnic blankets for families and fans.
For our small rural community, this program provides community-based summer programming for children aged 3 - 15 who develop skill along with sportsmanship and leadership through hard work and being part of a team as they grow throughout the program. We thank all of our players, families, coaches, and supporters!
To One Community Bank - thank you for being supportive of Wildcat Summer Baseball and Softball!
Pictured here are our 14U Baseball and Softball teams, many of whose players are experiencing their last Summer Rec games this month after playing for 10 summers! More team pics will be posted later in the season.
