📢💙💛On behalf of the Norrisville Recreation Council, we are incredibly proud to present this year’s NRC Scholarship award to Keegan Batchelder! Our council’s mission has always been to support local student-athletes who demonstrate a long-term commitment to our community, maintain academic excellence, and embody the true spirit of sportsmanship. This year, we are thrilled to present a one-time scholarship award of $1,000 to help support Keegan's next academic chapter. The entire council has had the absolute privilege of watching this applicant grow up within our programs. Seeing firsthand how he has transitioned from a young participant into the remarkable mentor and leader he is today has been incredibly rewarding.
Starting at just five years old, Keegan has played baseball and basketball, joined flag football when the program launched, and later even transitioned into playing with our adult volleyball league.
What made him truly stand out wasn’t just the time spent on the field or court as a player—it was that dedication to giving back. Keegan has stepped into leadership roles as an assistant coach for two baseball seasons, refereed flag football games under tough conditions, and volunteered every spring to help his family put on Opening Day for Norrisville Baseball.
In his essay, he wrote about how much he appreciated the dedication of his coaches- especially his own dad—and how those experiences shaped him. It is clear that the passion, patience, and maturity he has learned through rec sports will serve him incredibly well as he takes his next steps. This fall, Keegan will be attending Messiah University to study environmental science.
Please join us in congratulating the 2026 Norrisville Recreation Council Scholarship winner: Keegan Batchelder!
