Wolcott Midget Football & Cheerleading Association: WMF NEWS

The Wolcott Sports Complex Is a Beautiful Brand New Facility in which Opened in October of 2008.

Our Complex consists of 1 Football Field, 1 Standard Sized Soccer Field, 1 small Soccer Field, and a Field House Larger than the average persons home. The field house consists of a state of the art kitchen/snack bar, a large exectutive board room, a large entertainment room, an executive office/copy room, 2 locker rooms, men's and women's restrooms, several storage closets, and a large garage/equipment room.

We would like to Give a special thanks to Robert and Karen Bosco for funding a majority of the project and all the time, dedication, money, and hardwork they put into making this dream a reality and finally giving Wolcott Midget Football and Wolcott Soccer a Place to call "Home".

This is why our Founders Award was given to The Bosco Family.

Lets Move On to Our tour.

First We would Like to Show you a View of our Fields.

Above is Our Small Soccer Field located right in front of the field hous. This Field Was dedicated to a man who is well known for not only building up youth soccer in Wolcott, but also all the time, dedication, and hard work he put into the program, John Maloney (Photo Below)

Our Large Soccer Field is located on the Other side of the complex. There is a very nice path and walking bridge in which connects this field to the parking lot and field house. Pictures of the field are soon to come.

This Field was Dedicated to an Excellent, Hardworking, Soccer Player of Wolcott who played for both the youth and high school programs whose life was taken in a tragic car accident in 2003, Meghan Strathman.

Last But not Least our Football Field is located at the top of the complex just above the small soccer field. New Pictures will soon be posted with its freshly painted lines, center eagle, new fence, and lit scoreboard.

Next is the Executive Board Room which includes a large confernece table which seats 14 people, a flag, and the Dedication Plaques up on the wall.

Next Is our Entertainment Room. This room consists of several tables and chairs, a 52" plasma tv, 2 private bathrooms, and the trophy window. This room is used for coaches meetings, team meetings, film sessions, get togethers, celebrations, etc.

Next Up is The Garage/ Storage Room. This is the area where both football and soccer store all their equipment and supplies. The garage is diveded into 2 sides to keep things orgnized between the 2 leagues.

Another Special Aspect of the Wolcott Sports Complex is its Handicap Accessibility. We have designated front row Handicap Parking Spots, Paved Walkways for wheel chairs, and an elevator to assist the handicap people to the second floor to access the entertainment room and snack bar.

Even though our Complex is Beautiful we are still far from finished. There is always something more to do and a new project begining. We have just installed fencing around all of the fields to seperate the team and coaches from the parents. Also we have just installed a 16' x 8' remote controlled scoreboard. Along with that we are now working on the clearing and escavation of an area above the football field to install grandstands in the future.

We would like to Thank Scott Rossignol, Scottie Rossignol, Robert Fernandez, BJ Nadeau, Ron Gambino, Don Phelps, Mark Fillipone, and Dave Bruillette for their hard work to install the new scoreboard. Also Raymonds Lumber for letting us use their boom truck to set the beams and the board.

Also Scott Rossignol and Pete Betkoski for the escavation work on the new area.
