GIYRA Baseball and Softball use the fields provided by the Grosse Ile Township Schools and Sacred Heart church for our games and practices. The fields, like all sports playing surfaces, require continuous maintenance, repair, and investment. We continuously strive to invest in these fields to provide the best and safest play fields for our young players.
We would like to first thank the many Sponsors, Donors, and Volunteers who contribute finances and effort to our program! The financial contributions from our Sponsors and Donors provide the vast majority of the funds needed to make the necessary improvements. The Volunteers provide the much needed work to make our Field Development efforts a big success. We also thank our contractors who help us complete the maintenance, repair, and improvement projects each year.
Finally, in addition to improving existing fields, we are working to build one or two brand new fields at the Airport Commerce Park Recreation area. We established a Field Development Authority under GIYRA in 2019. The charter for this new FDA is to plan and build the new fields. Stay tuned for more work on the progress on the new fields in the coming weeks.
