Goal: Reconstruct existing fields/facilities and develop new fields to better meet the needs of the athletes in our community

Why is the Master Plan Needed?

• The Dover Sherborn Community needs turf fields to maintain and excel in our sports programs

• 82% of DSHS Students participate in athletics – 27 Sports - 43 Teams - 3 State Championship Teams in past 3 years

• 10 Outdoor Fields ~ 2,387 Team Events ~ 894 Team Athletes• 40% of the Fields exceed “maximum use” criteria by 20%

– Causing Deterioration!

• Demand for fields increasing with active Youth and Adult Sports• Current fields require significant cost to maintain

Investing in our Community's Youth

Sports are an integral part of the Dover Sherborn Community

A strong athletic program and facilities are pillars of our community

How will it benefit our Community?

• New and Improved Fields will:– Improve safety– Solve “maximum use” issues– Make DS teams more competitive, with training on turf– Provide options for “early” spring training– Reduce “rain outs”– Allow for additional sporting events/uses– Provide approved facilities for State Competition– Give Youth & Adult Sports additional space for

practices/games, especially on weekends– Provide options for building Community Spirit (Pep Rallies,

Camps, etc)
