Projects & Improvements

        Below is a list of projects and improvements we hope to be able to complete in the coming years.  None of these items are guaranteed to happen but we hope we are in a position to do so when the time is right. 

Please understand that we do not receive any funding from the Town of Groton.  GD Youth Baseball is a private, non-profit, 100% volunteer run organization that relies solely on player registration, fundraising and our generous community partner sponsors to do what we do.  Our goal is to keep kids engaged in baseball by giving them every opportunity to play on safe fields and to have fun.
