This new section of Menifee 24/7 is designed to serve and showcase the youth of our community who spend so much of their time on local fields, courts and other playing surfaces. From Wheatfield Park to the Marion Ashley Center fields and to parks all around, boys and girls are enjoying their favorite sports. We'd like to give them some recognition.
Now lest you get the idea this will be a listing of every little Johnny and Jane who gets a base hit or makes a basket, a dose of reality is in order. First, that would be impossible. Second, this is not intended to be the encyclopedia of Menifee youth sports. But we would like to highlight outstanding teams, outstanding players -- and players who just try real hard.
We may publish some game highlights, but we'll leave much of the stats to the websites of the individual sports. We will provide links to those resources and cooperate as much as we can with those who work so hard to publicize player sign-ups, tryouts, and all those things that go along with youth sports.
Coverage will be given to youth athletes up through high school age, although official high school sports coverage of Paloma Valley and Heritage high schools will be published on the main news feed for now. We dabbled a bit in prep football coverage last fall, and we're gearing up for some winter sports coverage soon.
Meanwhile, check back often for updates here and to find out how you can contribute content to populate this site. In essence, our playing field is empty at the moment. But not for long. Email doug.spoon@gmail.com with your inquiries and comments and let's play ball!
Just a Menifee grandma, but very excited to see this section. Can't expect you to follow all of the teams, but if we just had all the contact info and deadline dates, opening and closing ceremonies, etc. It would be a big help.
