Purpose 

The Henniker Youth Athletic Committee is a town-based organization whose mission is to provide rewarding athletic opportunities for Henniker youth.   Children participating in our programs will experience a positive environment focused on learning the rules, skills and strategies of the sport, good sportsmanship, and teamwork.   Henniker’s approach to athletics ensures that every child has the opportunity to participate regardless of ability to play (i.e., skill level) or pay (i.e., there are no participation fees like those required of private teams and leagues*).

 

The committee currently sponsors programs throughout the year for the following sports:
There is no fee to participate in our town athletic programs.  Unlike many other towns, Henniker pays for any child who resides in Henniker and wishes to participate in our athletic program.   Expenses include insurance and league fees for every child.   The town also pays for field and facility maintenance, uniforms, equipment, umpire and referee compensation, and costs related to certifying coaches and referees.  Approximately 700 children participate in the town athletic programs each year.

  

*      Programs such as John Stark United Soccer, John Stark Generals Football, and Henniker Youth Hockey are private organizations that are not funded or organized by the Town of Henniker.
