Baseball & Softball Operations

The City of Hereford has contracted with Hereford Sports & Wellness to operate and manage the John Bunch Complex, including leagues, tournaments, maintenance, and operations of the facility. In an effort to provide a smooth transition for youth baseball and softball, Hereford Sports & Wellness has asked a group of individuals to serve as an advisory group with members of our staff. This group will be referred to as the Hereford Sports & Wellness Baseball & Softball Commission.
The role of the Hereford Sports & Wellness Baseball & Softball Commission will be to assist with determining all of the planning and development of league play, tournaments, equipment needs, umpire recruitment and training, concessions, uniforms, team formation, and other duties associated with providing quality baseball and softball programs for children and families in Hereford and the surrounding communities.
Thanks to the voters of the City of Hereford, we have a brand new, state-of-the-art baseball and softball complex for the children and families in our community! And if that's not enough, we have soccer fields in each of the outfields! What a great use of space and resources!
As part of the fundraising campaign designed to provide amenities not covered by the apporved bond funds, Hereford Sports & Wellness received a very generous financial gift from Kevin and Cathy Bunch. This donation was provided to honor Kevin's father, John Bunch. Mr. Bunch was instrumental in the early days of youth baseball in Hereford. He played a huge role in the construction and maintenance of the former Deaf Smith County Kids, Inc. Complex.
Today, the City's new complex will forever bear his name and will be known as the John Bunch Complex.
