Forty six years ago the founders of the Greentown Athletic Club (GAC) realized the need for a facility where the boys and girls of the community could come together, be equipped and play sports. Athletics have always been a way for kids to learn teamwork, dedication and build self-esteem. The founding fathers had the foresight to create a way to make the sport programs self-sufficient.

The non-profit bingo operations were started as a way to acquire funds to maintain the fields, buildings, player uniforms, to name a few. Over the years, the GAC has provided five baseball/softball fields, two football fields, a bingo hall, a pavilion, concession stand and various outbuildings.

Approximately 275 girls and boys are actively involved each year in football, softball, baseball, and cheerleading. Those programs, combined with a generous scholarship program and a long history of community support through donations, make the GAC a great community organization.e
