Community and coaches raise uncertainty about varsity baseball for 2025 at School Board meeting
Summary
Parents, players and coaches told the Town of Webb school board that fielding a varsity baseball team in spring 2025 may not be possible; the board heard a letter from team representatives and discussed program structure and fee removal for skills-and-drills sessions.
President Diane Heroux opened the Dec. 12 regular meeting at 6:30 p.m., and the public forum focused on the future of the high school baseball program. Armando Viscelli "read a letter on behalf of the Boys Varsity Baseball team regarding the possibility of not fielding a varsity team for the 2025 spring season," and several community members followed with questions and concerns about student safety, travel and competitive balance.
School Principal John Swick and other staff joined the discussion about alternatives, including entering spring sports at the JV level to prioritize skill development and safety while the program rebuilds. Board members noted they will revisit the board handbook at a later meeting and asked administration to clarify costs and participation numbers before any final decision is made.
