Pre-RFPRecreation & Community ServicesDetected Jun 24, 2026

On June 10, 2026 the superintendent and athletic director presented plans to expand Sharon’s middle school sports offerings with new field hockey and football programs. The proposal includes a $150 fee for field hockey and a $350 fee for football, participation in a grade 6–8 middle school Patriot League for football (likely starting at JV level), and alignment with MIAA regulations, with the programs intended to feed and strengthen high school teams and offer more opportunities for students who currently seek sports out of district. Committee members requested more detail on the funding breakdown, including how fees would cover transportation, coaching, and equipment, and the athletic director noted the high school received a three-year league absence to allow time to rebuild via such programs.While fee structures are to be approved at a June 24 meeting, the operational plan suggests near-term purchasing for equipment, uniforms, transportation contracts, athletic training, and potentially additional sports like volleyball in the future. Vendors for sports equipment, uniforms, strength and conditioning, athletic training services, transportation, and scheduling/registration software can engage as the district finalizes program budgets and logistics.

Future middle school volleyball and unified sports initiatives were mentioned, indicating broader growth in athletics and inclusive programming beyond the initial football and field hockey launch.

Grant Funding

The Q2 2026 sponsorship report awarded $2,500 to ICE, Inc./Verona Ice Arena for the Coach Sauer Tournament, and the Q3 report added $7,500 for sled hockey, Culver's Cup, and the Verona Youth Hockey Tournament Series. The reports say the tournament moved to VIA because it needed two sheets of ice. This is useful follow-on intelligence on event growth, facility capacity, and future tournament support needs.

Grant Funding

The Q2 and Q3 2026 sponsorship reports show Reddan Soccer Club receiving $10,000 for annual tournaments and then $7,500 for the 56er Invitational, Toe Bash, Ice Age, and Thunder Invitational. The notes say a 4x4 permanent Visit Verona sign with a QR code was displayed at Reddan. That points to an ongoing partnership with both event funding and destination-marketing assets already in place.
