How will all the groups using fields handle the temporary loss of fields?
Needham High School will lose use of a 90 diamond and the track this spring. The three baseball teams will have use of two 90 diamonds and will coordinate their schedules. The home meets for the track teams have been moved to other locations, and negotiations are underway to secure a nearby track for practice. In the fall, limited multi-purpose field space will need to be shared amongst Field Hockey, Boys and Girls Soccer and Football, until the synthetic turf fields at DeFazio are available. The youth organizations are working together to coordinate uses, and find alternate locations during the construction period. The Needham Track Club has an agreement in place for their program to be held at Wellesley High this summer. The spring and summer months will be most difficult on the groups playing baseball. The fall will be most difficult for groups that use multi-purpose fields.
