A sports complex for the children of Port O’Connor is the long-term goal of the Port O’Connor Sports Association (POCSA). They hope to begin realizing some of their objectives in the near future beginning with a walking trail, practice field and playground. They presented their tentative plans at a recent Commissioners’ Court, and were well received; however no action can be taken by the Court at this time.

POCSA has received more than 60 letters of support from the Port O’Connor community and has raised more than $25,000.00 so far. They are currently planning their annual fund-raising Cook-off for Memorial weekend.

POCSA meets the third Monday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Community Center meeting room. The next meeting is March 18. Everyone who is interested in providing sports and outdoor activities for the community is invited to attend. For more information, please call Calvin Ragusin at 361-655-0498.
