The Topsfield Athletic Association is a nonprofit organization
established by community volunteers to provide organized sports
activities for the youth and adults of the town. The emphasis is on
developing sportsmanship, individual skills, teamwork and a positive
self image. Every effort is made to see that every individual who
registers is given a place to play on an appropriate team.
At lower levels of competition, participation is broad and
instruction is emphasized. At higher levels of competition,
participation may be more selective. Adult programs are also available
depending on interest and demand.
The TAA was formed in 1950, and since 1991 there has been a "per
sport" charge to cover expenses. Fees vary according to the cost of
running the program. Funds are also used to make capital improvements to
the playing facilities utilized by the TAA teams and other residents
from the community.
