Ken Laird Field

At Ken Laird Field, our Jr. Wildcats compete under the lights on a state-of-the-art artificial surface built for performance, safety, and durability. Recently upgraded from the ground up, the field features a fully engineered base and advanced drainage system to ensure consistent playability in all kinds of weather.

The synthetic turf includes a carefully balanced rubber and sand infill that provides dependable traction and cushioning while meeting ASTM G-max safety standards. More than just a field, it’s where Jr. Wildcats build skills, compete with pride, and experience the excitement of middle school football—reflecting USM’s commitment to excellence on and off the field.

Don Forti Stadium

Designed to elevate the fan experience—literally—Don Forti Stadium’s raised bleacher system offers outstanding sightlines and a safe, comfortable place to cheer on our Jr. Wildcats. Clear-span I-beam construction ensures unobstructed views, while accessible aisles, handrails, and guardrails provide easy access for families of all ages.

Built to meet all safety and ADA standards, the stadium features 750 permanent seats, 250 additional portable seats to meet WIAA requirements, and a customized press box with coach and media accommodations. From kickoff to the final whistle, Don Forti Stadium is where community gathers, school spirit shines, and young athletes compete in a setting that reflects USM’s commitment to excellence.

Wildcat Park

Wildcat Park is where versatility meets championship-level design. While it serves as USM’s premier baseball facility, the expansive outfield was intentionally designed to accommodate a full football field—making it a true multi-purpose space for our Jr. Wildcats.

Built in 2021, the synthetic turf complex delivers consistent, high-quality playing conditions and reliable footing throughout the year. With stadium-style seating, dugouts, a scoreboard, an elevated press box, and access to the Joe Lubar ’08 Baseball Training Facility, Wildcat Park offers a dynamic environment that reflects our commitment to excellence, flexibility, and community pride.

Fitness Center

At USM, performance training starts long before kickoff. Our comprehensive fitness center helps Jr. Wildcats build strength, endurance, and healthy habits in a safe, structured environment with dedicated strength, cardiovascular, and flexibility areas.

With age-appropriate programming and guidance from our fitness center coordinator and strength and conditioning coach, students learn proper technique, injury prevention, and the fundamentals of training. More than a workout space, it’s where Jr. Wildcats build confidence, resilience, and the foundation for success on and off the field.
