If you've driven along Arbor Valley Drive lately, chances are you have witnessed the ongoing development of our new ball diamonds. So, here is a quick update on these amazing additions to our school.
We are excited to see our grounds bloom as the fields at Fair Avenue are nearing completion. That facility will be the home of Lancaster High School Baseball - including the varsity, JV, and Freshman teams. The field nearest Fulton Field has a turf infield and will be the varsity baseball field. The field nearest Fair Avenue will be the JV/freshman baseball field.
For the current season, and for the next few years, the current JV/Freshman baseball field has been modified for softball use. Our varsity and JV softball teams will be using that field until space becomes available for a new softball facility to be built on campus.
Once the new high school is completed and our students have moved into the new building (fall 2026), the current high school building will be torn down to make room for a parking lot and the new softball facility to be built there. The softball facility will be identical to the current facility built at Fair Avenue, with a turf infield for the varsity softball field. The Lancaster High School Athletic Boosters have committed $50,000.00/year for four years to help offset the cost of the turf for the baseball and softball infields.
Once the softball facility is completed, the field nearest Fair Avenue will be converted from its current state as a softball field to a baseball field.
We are excited and grateful to our community and our Boosters for the ongoing support our athletic programs receive!
