DEVENS SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS

Fort Devens' Sports Program

Athletics at Fort Devens means activity - physical activity in many different forms. It is playing golf, volleyball, trading punches in the boxing ring, fishing, hunting, or even cheering the home baseball team to victory.

The athletic program is an essential recreative force in the life of the Fort Devens Community. People choose an athletic pursuit according to their individual needs and physical ability. Personnel find a game of tennis or badminton a welcome diversion from the day to day routine.

The young men who were star athletes in high schools, colleges, and universities, find opportunities to continue this participation through inter-post athletic competition.

At Fort Devens, it is recognized that the effective athletic program is one which provides physical activities for everyone, regardless to skill. But close attention is also paid to the fact that true satisfaction cannot be derived from any physical activity without competency.

An individual is not likely to be much of a baseball player until he has learned the fundamental rules of the game. Similarly, an individual who takes up judo requires expert instructions before even attempting the most basic fall or throw. The golfer will gain maximum benefit from his game only when he has learned to hit the ball correctly.

Consequently, clinics are conducted in a wide variety of activities, at regular intervals, to provide group instructions for players, coaches and officials.

Fort Devens is operating a comprehensive athletic program ranging from intra-mural softball to representation in First United States Army Tournaments.

The Fort Devens Sports program is primarily an intramural program, wherein company size units compete against each other.

Along with emphasis on the physical benefits, the acquisition of knowledge, attitudes and habits of keeping healthy and an understanding of coordination are acquired by participants. One learns to recognize that life is not always soft and easy and there are times when one does not win, and there are times when one must work against odds.

In playing and working with others, the player should accomplish one of the main returns from the games. This outcome would be the development of a sense of appreciation for your fellow-man, whether he be a teammate or a member of the opposing team. Today, more that ever, we should encourage those activities that lend themselves to the development and an encouragement of better human relations.
