The
Stratford Athletic Organization was founded in 1952, under the name
of Stratford Father & Sons. The objectives of this Organization "shall be to implant firmly in the boys
and girls of this community the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty,
loyalty, courage and reverence, so that they may grow up to be finer,
stronger and happier citizens of our community".
Baseball and Softball starts with sign ups in January and the season runs from March through June. Basketball is offered in the winter. SAO is fully supported by an active general membership. The spirit of volunteerism continues to make the organization strong and successful.
We also benefit from the generous support of our Sponsors. We ask the general membership to support the businesses and individuals whenever possible. The Organization is run by a dedicated group of 15 volunteers that make up a board of directors.
The board had increased in size in 2002. In 1999, the membership voted to change the name of Stratford Father & Sons to the Stratford Athletic Organization. Over the years, the enrollment has fluctuated, but the commitment to tradition has remained the same. |
