FEATURED EVENT

Baseball Team IMPACT Day

On April 27th the UMASS Baseball Team and athletic staff members took part in a very important inaugural event as they brought together families and children of Team IMPACT for a day at the ball park.  Although eight families and children came out to take part in the celebration the special guest for the day was Jake Parker who is a honorary member of our baseball team.  Jake had the opportunity to announce “Play Ball” to start the game and introduce the players as they came up to bat.  This was the first of many Team IMPACT events we hope to have in the future.  Thank you to Coach Eygabroat and his players.

Mission Statement: The mission of UMass Boston Athletics & Recreation is to encourage all UMass student athletes to discover and nurture the “total person” who enriches the world and brings honor to the university, now and throughout life. We encourage every student-athlete to be a champion in an environment where academic integrity, social responsibility, respect, and competitive excellence are highly valued.

April 24th - On Wednesday over 55 kids for the College Game day event at the UMASS Boston soccer fields.  Dever McCormack and the Frederick school participated in a number of drills and skill work run by our own UMASS Boston Women’s and Men’s soccer teams.  Once the drills were done each team had the chance to play a game against the opposing school with our women’s team playing the role of referees.  This first year event run by America Scores and hosted by UMASS Boston is one that we’re hoping to build bigger and better in the future.  Thank you to our Women’s and Men’s teams as well as Coach Zombeck and Coach Beverlin for their participation.

Volleyball - During the months of January and February our own Women’s Volleyball team took time out of their busy schedules to be a part of two different community service events.  The first was an event held at the Boys & Girls club in which our student athletes along with our Head Women’s Volleyball Coach Terry Condon talked to the children about what it is to be a student athlete in college.  The second event that the team took part in was the U-Access food pantry program,  a program on the UMass Boston campus that helps students and families who are in need of food while attending college.  Thank you Women’s Volleyball for taking time out of your schedules to help give back.
