Batting Cage

Welcome to the Batting Cage. To ensure the safety of all users and the protection of our facility and the equipment, we ask you to follow the following rules and guidelines. All coaches are charged with the responsibility of the safety of batters and the proper use of the cage and equipment at all times.

Batting Cage Rules

1. The setup, operation and cleanup of the cages, pitching machines and equipment is to be done by older players or adults familiar with the equipment only. At no time are players under 13 to feed the pitching machines without adult supervision.
2. Player helmets are mandatory at all times. No more than one hitter in the cage at a time when pitching machine is in use unless players not actively hitting are behind protective screening.
3. Pitching machines and equipment must be setup properly and used for hitting in a safe manner only. Do not use any equipment not in full working order and contact the Batting Cage Allocator immediately if maintenance is required.
4. Pitching machines are NOT to be used out on the diamonds. They are for batting cage use only. There are machines that may be signed out for use out on the field.
5. All equipment must be secured and locked after your time slot. Unless agreed upon, do not assume the next coach will put them away. You are responsible during your time and for the protection of the equipment once your time slot is over.
6. To maximize batting cage efficiency for younger players, instead of using pitching machine younger teams may have multiple players in cage area split into sections using bownets, hitting tennis or whiffle balls, etc.

Should you have any concerns with the use of the batting cages, wish to change your time slot or book another, please contact our Batting Cage Allocator, Scott Rimek - 1stvp@langfordfastball.ca
