Make sure the email is marked Re: Batting Cage and send three times that work for your team. The time slots available are week days 4:30 - 6:00 pm, 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, and 7:30 to 9:00 pm. and weekends 9:00 am to 10:30 am, 10:30 am to 12:00 noon, 12:00 noon to 1:30 pm, 1:30 pm to 3:00 pm, 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm, 4:30 - 6:00 pm, 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, and 7:30 to 9:00 pm. The old tadpole field has been marked for infield practice for each level from tadpole to midget and can be used for infield practice. The bases are kept in the batting cage. The team that books the batting cage will have priority on the tad pole field outside of the batting cage so you can have two batters in the cage and the rest of the team on the field. Priority for the earlier times during the week days will be given to the younger kids. You should send your requested times as soon as possible because the reserved times will take effect starting next Monday.
