The Youth Services Director is the town appointed chair person of the Fields Committee. 
The fields committee meets monthly to address issues pertaining to town owned athletic fields.
The committee which is made up of represenatives of all youth sports groups works on permiiting, maintenance and long range planning. Any group or individual who would like to use a town field must apply for a permit with Rick Gorman at the Youth Center. All questions regarding fields must be directed to Rick Gorman. Please go to our documents page to download field permit request.

The mission of the North Andover Fields Committee is as follows: 

1. To provide for fair and equitable use of town playing fields by all town residents, youth and adult.  This includes management (scheduling, planning for maintenance, coordination with DPW, etc.) of existing facilities, coordination with the school department regarding use of their facilities, and facilitation of arrangements for use of private facilities for town recreational programs. 
2. To establish, maintain and coordinate the permit process for organizations and individuals that wish to utilize town fields.  If approved, to then issue permits for use of fields through the Youth Services Director’s office.   Residents, and organizations that consist exclusively of town residents, shall always have the highest priority in gaining access to town fields. 
3. To assess future capacity requirements and plan accordingly.  This includes preparation of plans for expansion or reconfiguration as required, and taking an active role in soliciting development through the Board of Selectman, CPA grants, and private developers.
