Welcome! |
Welcome to the Tewksbury Athletic Association's Web Site!
The mission of the Tewksbury Athletics Association is to promote sportsmanship, fair play, team play, proper exercise technique, sports safety, development of skills, discipline, self-esteem, cooperation, commitment, and making an effort. In TAA programs, while winning shall not be considered unimportant, it shall not supersede the striving to win within the boundaries of the rules and the ethics of sportsmanship in a fair competition of ability, effort and strategy. Therefore, the TAA shall not stress victory as the ultimate goal. |

Announcing Tewksbury Fall Baseball
In conjunction with Long Valley Baseball, the TAA is offering Fall Ball to children who are going into
3rd through 8th grades in September of 2008. After careful consideration, the TAA has chosen to partner with Long Valley Baseball's established Fall league for the 2008 season. This will be an informal recreation styled league with the focus on learning and fun. There will be NO standings and NO playoffs. There will be one or two games per week on Fridays and Saturdays (approx. 5PM to 8PM) and Sundays (approx. 4:30PM).
Exact days and times will be available in August.
The games will be played at Palmer Park in Long Valley. Some games will be under the lights!
The fee is $75 and sign-up ends July 31. The fee includes everything (shirt, pants, socks, cap, etc). The season will run from early September to late October.

TAA Coaches Background Checks
Nov 28 2007
NEW Coaching Policies
Effective November 1, 2007, The Tewksbury Athletic Association (TAA) has implemented 2 new policies to enhance the quality of our coaching program.
Coach Rosters
All Program Directors will now be responsible for submitting a list of their Head and Assistant Coaches to Rob Edmund (rsedmund@aol.com), TAA Coaches Coordinator, prior to the start of each season. Coaching staffs will be reviewed for Rutgers Certification and prior evaluation results. If a coach is not in our Rutgers Certified database, the Program Director will need to get a copy of the coach’s Rutgers Card and forward to Rob Edmund for verification and inclusion in our database.
Background Checks
Beginning with the winter 2008 sports season, the TAA will implement a finger printing and background check program for all Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Trainers who coach in our Rec and Traveling Programs. There will be no exceptions!
Program Directors should contact Bob Edmund (rsedmund@aol.com) to coordinate the necessary information and schedule a time with the Tewksbury Police Department for their coaching staff.
There will be no cost to the coaches for the training course or background checks. Coaches who do not complete the Rutgers Certification course and submit to the background check will not be permitted to coach for any TAA team.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Mark Wood, TAA President
Rob Edmund, Coaches Coordinator
COACH EVALUATIONS
Aug 04 2006
Please take the time and complete our Coach Evaluation Survey. The TAA views
coaching as a critical foundation to our programs and is committed to
ensuring our coaches are properly trained, and provide your children with
quality coaching in not only sport techniques but also in team spirit and
good sportsmanship. All surveys are confidential and go to our Coaches
Coordinator, Rob Edmund.
