During a recent government meeting, discussions centered on the need for enhanced support for youth sports organizations in Liberty Hill. Officials acknowledged the importance of these organizations and expressed a desire to better understand their needs and growth potential. The Parks Board is actively seeking to raise awareness about local youth leagues, even reaching out to local media for coverage on the state of these organizations.

Kevin Jones, representing Liberty Hill Lacrosse, was one of the first speakers. He highlighted the rapid growth of lacrosse in the area, noting that the program has expanded from 150 participants in its second year to an expected 200 in its third year. Jones emphasized that all players are local children, showcasing the sport's community impact.

A significant point raised by Jones was the need for shared use of the football field for lacrosse practices and games. He argued that the facility should serve multiple sports, rather than being limited to soccer, to accommodate the increasing demand for diverse athletic opportunities. Jones shared personal anecdotes about the challenges faced by young athletes in traditional sports like baseball, where competition for team spots can be fierce, leading some to drop out of sports altogether. He advocated for lacrosse as a no-cut sport that provides an inclusive environment for all children, particularly those who may not make traditional teams.

The meeting underscored the ongoing dialogue between local government and youth sports organizations, with hopes for future funding and resources to support the growing needs of these programs. As Liberty Hill continues to develop, officials aim to ensure that youth sports remain a vital part of the community fabric.
