Medford Lakes Athletic Association

The Medford Lakes Athletic Association (MLAA), was formed in 1961 by colonists, with the mission of supporting local recreational sporting activities for children and adults alike in Medford Lakes.

In 1933, there was a Medford Lakes Traveling Baseball team which was camp connected. Many adults enjoyed married vs. single Sunday baseball games. It was about that time that the Sunday Swim Races were organized. Medford Lakes kids were successful in many Philadelphia and South Jersey swim teams while adults enjoyed long distance swims. A boys football team was created thanks to the Lions Club and operated well into the sixties becoming a league of several teams.  Another early sport was Medford Lakes Little League Baseball Association founded in 1958. Much of the financial support for the little league came from our town's longtime sports booster, Jack Flanagan. Jack held a Little League Day at his new service station in 1959  and a Football Day in 1960. The present organization was incorporated as the Medford Lakes Athletic Association, under the presidency of Bob Dalton, on October 29, 1961.

Today, the MLAA continues to promote positive sports instruction, good health through activity and the value of participating in a team enviornment promoting positive sportmanlike conduct.

Throughout the years, the MLAA has continued to grow through the support of local volunteers, like you. Volunteers who help support the operational functions of our sporting programs, events and organization, coach our athlete's, fundraise to support ongoing equipment, field and business needs; all while particpating in a team like atmosphere promoting the MLAA Mission.
