City Schools is committed to expanding enrichment opportunities for our students, free of financial barriers, and particularly in areas that have been historically underserved. As part of that strategy, City Schools is looking for a partner to maintain Medfield Heights Baseball and Softball field in exchange for priority access* to the field. For this agreement, City Schools is looking for partners that can increase access to baseball and softball for our students – providing opportunities for exposure, skill development, being part of a team and competitive play and in general helping City Schools create a pipeline for students to develop knowledge and familiarity with baseball and softball for students in elementary and middle grades, and up through high school.
*First priority for all assets is for the school. Partner would receive second priority after the school through a long-term lease.
