Batting Cage Use
Safety
· Anyone throwing batting practice or using a batting machine must do so behind a L-screen.
· Only the batter and one pitcher/machine operator are allowed in the batting cage during batting.
· Anyone using a batting cage or throwing batting practice on a field must inspect the L-screen prior to use. If the L-screen is not 100% in working condition, stop the activity and notify our club by email at [email protected] so we can take action to remove from service until repairs are made.
Guidelines for Each Park
· All cages act on a first come first serve basis. No cages at any park can be reserved.
· Cages are open for use, but not during school hours at Civitan Park.
· In consideration of other teams, please refrain from using more than one cage at a time to allow others to use the cages.
· On game nights, only teams with scheduled league games are allowed to use the cages.
· When warming up for scheduled games, limit cage usage to 15 minutes per team (5-7 pitches per batter) to allow as many teams to use as possible.
