Pre-Game Facility Guidelines

BATTING PRACTICE

 There will be no on-field batting practice before any competition.

 The site has batting cages available for use. Only the teams preparing for the next game at will be allowed to use the cages starting as follows:  Home team: 90 minutes before game time for 30 minutes  Visitor: 60 minutes before game time for 30 minutes

 Cleats or turf shoes are okay in the cages.

 Whiffle balls or soft balls may be prior to the game on an auxiliary field or open grass area.

 Please do not hit any type of ball into fencing at any of the sites.

Teams must provide their own for batting practice.

INFIELD/OUTFIELD PRACTICE

 NO infield/outfield will be allowed prior to games -this helps keep the field in shape (grass really struggles in the arid environment of the Tri-cities) and gives the field prep crew sufficient time to get your playing surface in good condition.

 Ground balls and fly balls may be taken in the outfield prior to games. Please stay off of the infield and foul lines!
