Fenway Park Pitch Hit and Run Championship James Donovan
Here's a pic from the Pitch Hit and Run championship held this past Saturday at Fenway. It was a blast. James did well, finishing 2nd overall out of just over 6,000 participants across New England. The kid who won was from Newburyport and I'd be shocked if he didn't make it to St. Louis for the All-Star game (he finished with more points than the 9-10 year olds).
James picked up some dirt from the field and put in a plastic bag for a keepsake. It was pretty funny.

TENNIS LESSONS The Franklin Recreation Department (a USTA member) will begin accepting registration for Tennis Lessons and Jr. Team Tennis for this coming summer. The registration will begin on Monday, March 2nd at Recreation Department, 150 Emmons Street. For every participant that registers on Monday, March 2nd, we will give out a free USTA Tennis Night in America hat. Tennis Lessons The United States Tennis Association has developed one of the best teaching curriculums in the country. Our instructors (Katelyn & Tyler Fausnaut) teach the USTA Quick Start program to all players under 10 years old. This gives young tennis players the opportunity to play on a smaller court size
with far more enjoyment. All classes are taught at the Franklin High School tennis courts. We also have team tennis for older, more experienced players. See all of our class descriptions, days, times, and levels. Jr. Team Tennis players must be registered through USTA scoring system "tennis link" for competitive play. Please call the Recreation Department for more information.

Mission/Function The Recreation Department is committed to provide quality recreational programs and facilities to the residents of Franklin. By providing consistency, dependability and an obligation to our residents and the programs they partake, we strive to elevate the quality of life for our community.
Objectives The Recreation Department is a service-based department. We work interactively with local sports associations, school departments, individual Town residents, private groups, church and civic groups, as well as other Town departments. In the course of a given year, over 8,000 people are affected by Recreation operations. Our clientele continues to increase each year. Recreation is responsible for scheduling all fields, playgrounds, and courts. The Recreation Department continues to serve the residents in the area of recreation and leisure services. Our department handles everything from
sporting activities for children, to families in need.
· Coordinate recreational activities with the youth sports organizations, school department, and other citizens groups. · Better utilize and renovate parks, ball fields, and conservation land within the Town of Franklin. · Improve the quality of life and involve residents in recreational programs. · Establish new programs as self-supporting and explore ways of generating additional revenue through grants, donations and fundraising. · Recreation activities are coordinated through our office, which is comprised of one full time director and one full time clerical staff person. ~The Recreation Advisory Board is looking for additional volunteers who are interested in promoting the planning of programs for Franklin residents.
The Recreation Department has established a Program Assistance Fund for all Recreation programs and Franklin Youth Sports programs offered through the Town of Franklin. The Program Assistance Fund was established with the understanding that there are residents who cannot afford the registration fee and are therefore unable to participate. The sole purpose of this fund is to find ways to give every child and family the opportunity to participate in recreation activities while providing a mechanism for equitable treatment and optimal accommodation for resident families in need. The Recreation Department has an application process for families in need of financial assistance with signing their children up for programs. Please download a copy of the form below and mail/bring to our office at least two weeks prior to close of registration.
Ping Pong We have a great table at the Recreation Department. We're just looking for some interested players. Please email me at: franklinrecreation@comcast.net to arrange the use of our table.
