Teams include a group of police officers, a group of firefighters, employees of the Department of Public Works and a mixed group of public officials and town employees, said town Board Member Stephen Signore, who is heading up the mixed team.

Each player is paying $30 to compete, and the proceeds will go to support the fields. Signore said sales revenue from the concession stand will also be used to benefit the park.

The first game begins at 1 p.m, with the final game scheduled for 6 p.m.
