Fields For Our Future is designed to provide a future for Bath athletics by removing the grass on McMann Field and replacing it with artificial astroturf. The spring sports season started March 28, three weeks ago, but neither of the Morse lacrosse teams have even stepped outside for practice. For three weeks both the boy’s and girl’s teams have practiced in tight cramped spaces smaller than a basketball court. The area is unable to provide adequate practice space for either teams. Even on sunny days we have been forced to practice inside due to wet fields from previous days’ rain.

Student athletes participating in the lacrosse program would like to point out that if the city of Bath had an artificial turf field, both teams would have unrestricted practice outdoors in a playable environment. Thank you.
