Mount Agamenticus

 

Since 1999 conservation work at Mount Agamenticus has focused on protecting the natural resources of the area by managing recreational use, remediating trails and habitats, and educating the public.

Thanks to the collaborative conservation efforts of many partners, volunteers, and donors, Mount A has become a wonderful place for the local community to enjoy the outdoors, experience its scenic beauty, and to appreciate its significance as one of “Maine’s Last Great Places.”

Similar to soccer, Futsal is played inside with a smaller, less bouncy ball that emphasizes ball control, quick passes, and skillful play due to the smaller playing area. This is designed for adults who want to stay active, connect with fellow players, and enjoy the game in a relaxed, non-league setting. Whether you're an avid soccer player of just getting back into the game, our open-play format lets everyone get involved.
