Restore Freehan Field for The Lady Outlaws
Spende geschützt
Freehan Field has been a part of the Waterford community since 1972, when it was built by a local police officer with support from Detroit Tigers catcher Bill Freehan. The field was created to give local little league players a place to play, and it’s been a source of pride for generations. Now, as the new owners of the property, we—Katie and Andy Belliotti—are working to restore Freehan Field so it can once again serve as a home for young athletes, especially our local travel softball team, The Lady Outlaws.
The Lady Outlaws is entering its third year as an organization, fielding teams for girls ages 8-18 under the Waterford Little League and Outlaw Baseball umbrella. Our goal is to provide a safe, affordable, and local place for our players to practice and compete. Right now, it’s expensive and difficult to find fields for home games, which drives up costs for families. By fixing up Freehan Field, we can keep fees low and give our players a true home field advantage, right in their own community.
We’ve already seen incredible support from local families and businesses. A landscaping company owned by one of our team families has offered their services, and many neighbors are eager to help with clean-up days. We’ve even had offers of donations in memory of loved ones who played here as kids. With your help, we’ll replace the old backstop, improve the infield, and eventually build a second dugout. Our hope is to complete much of the work this fall so the field is ready for the Lady Outlaws’ spring season. Every donation brings us closer to making Freehan Field a vibrant part of Waterford’s future.
