BOTETOURT COUNTY, Va. (WFXR) – The Botetourt County Department of Parks and Recreation has announced it has reached a conceptual agreement with the County’s volunteer Booster Clubs to offer youth baseball and softball sports this spring with support from the county.
The plan is currently being worked on by Booster Club leaders and County staff.
“Recreation in many and varied forms is critical to one’s physical and mental health. That’s never been truer than now, a year into the COVID-19 pandemic. It is so exciting to support community volunteers who have come together to develop a creative solution to offering spring sports.”
Mandy Adkins, Director of Recreation
Leadership at the Booster Club will be responsible for planning and running the upcoming season in accordance with VDH Considerations for Recreational Sports.
The Department of Parks and Recreation will provide sports fields and facilities free of charge to the Booster Clubs. Officials say an announcement regarding registration for these sports is expected later in February.
New recreational programs will continue to be developed that are consistent with current COVID-19 guidelines with an emphasis on providing opportunities for all ages and persons of varied interests and abilities.
