Brookfield Athletic Association

The Brookfield Athletic Association was formed in 1936, its purpose to provide a wide variety of athletic endeavors for citizens in the Brookfield area. To provide facilities, leadership, character, value, and encouragement for athletes of all groups and ages. This is the resolve of the BAA and is done without consideration of endorsement or praise.

The BAA has been the sole sponsor of all ball teams from the area - including the Gold medal winning, Canadian Champions in 1980. Financial assistance is also given to hockey teams, curling, swimming, soccer, figure skating, bowling, golf, school sports, and many other forms of recreation.

The BAA meets at the Don Henderson Memorial Sportsplex, normally on the second Sunday of each month.

For more information on the BAA , please contact any of the members.

OTHER  highlights include building and maintaining Eastern Canada’s best ball field, Elk Park being the first lighted field for softball in the east. The BAA was the leading force in the building of the Don Henderson Memorial Sportsplex. A grant of $10,000 was recently given to the new school in South Colchester allowing, among other improvements, a 25% increase in the size of the gymnasium.

The BAA depends largely on volunteer fund raising for their resources to maintain programs, including the Whing Ding and Brookfield Elks Sports Draw (formerly Big Game Hunt).
The Brookfield Elks Sports Draw is now in its 75th year.
