Greetings from the Middletown Valley Athletic Association,

     I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting the Middletown Valley Athletic Association (MVAA) web site and introduce you to our sports program.  The MVAA was created in 1971 to afford the children and parents of the Middletown Valley an opportunity to participate and compete in a variety of sports. Over the past 35 years, the MVAA has grown to more than 1,200 families to become one of the finest youth sports associations in the state of Maryland.  On behalf of the Board of Directors and parents of Middletown, I want to thank all the volunteers that help shape the minds and bodies of our youth.  Furthermore, it needs to be emphasized that all personnel within the MVAA are dedicated volunteers who give of their time and themselves to make your child’s athletic experience positive and memorable.    

     The primary goal of the MVAA is that all of our children be afforded an opportunity to participate in instructional, recreational, and competitive athletics. Currently, the MVAA offers 9 sporting activities where young athletes may participate.  Many of these sports offer different levels of athletic competition, ranging from developmental, recreational through select-level play, so that a wider range of children may take advantage of the different levels of competition.  The MVAA primary vision is to produce young adults who understand and display the meaning of leadership, discipline, integrity, hard work, and personal courage.  Along with this experience, we hope to teach our athletes how to win with pride and accept defeat with dignity; a lesson we hope they will carry with them through life.

     The MVAA is not just about sports.  As our community expands, so does the need for adequate park and field space.  The strategic planning initiative of the Board of Directors, in concert with the Town Board, secured the funding for the development of 88 acres of open land from the Remsberg family to be used for parks and recreation fields.  The Remsberg Park Project is a collaborated effort between the MVAA, the Town of Middletown, and Maryland Project Open Space.  This acquisition of much needed field space will greatly reduce the current over-utilization of our park fields and enhance our athletic program.  MVAA also sponsors social affairs within the community where parents and children convene in order to bond and nurture friendships for life.   

     Please explore our web site and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me (Brian@mvaasports.com) or any member of our Board of Directors (see BOD link at top left).  As always, we will be happy to assist you.

Sincerely,
Brian D. Moore
President, Middletown Valley Athletic Association
