GENERAL RULES FOR BATTING CAGE USE:

1. A person who has been assigned an access key/card is responsible for any damage that may occur during their booked time.

2. Parents, children, and players are not to enter the Batting Cage area until their coach or assistant coach is at the practice.

3. Teams are not to run over their allotted time. When your hour is done – you’re done. Therefore, coaches should be there on time to start. As well, teams must start cleaning up their equipment 5 minutes prior to the end of their session, so they are ready to vacate the batting cage on time. All teams are responsible to clean up the Batting Cage each time they are finished their session.

4. Only runners are to be worn in the cage. NO CLEATS.

5. There is to be no smoking or sunflower seeds in the Batting Cage.

6. When Leaving, Ensure That:

   • All balls and bats have been picked up – and that the balls are in the buckets, not your bags!

   • All garbage is in the garbage cans – not on the floor!

   • Both the front and back door are locked.

   • All pitching machines are off.

   • Spectator room heat is turned off.

   • That all the lights are turned off.

7. Safety Issues:

•  All spectators, waiting parents, or children who are not assisting in the practice MUST stay within the designated (waiting room) area to avoid injury.

• All players in the cage area MUST be wearing batting helmets if batting is being done.

• No players may swing bats without specific consent of their coaches.

• No pitching machines may be turned on, or in use without the team coach or assistant coach being present.
