FAQ's
Do you provide equipment for my child?
Athletes are kindly requested to bring their personal equipment, including gloves, face masks (softball), helmets (with face mask), bats, and batting gloves. Additionally, it is advisable for athletes to bring a water bottle for their convenience. Please note that for safety reasons, we do not permit glass containers inside the facility.
I see I can pick either 6pm or 7pm start time. Is there a difference?
The 6pm start or 7pm start for both Baseball (in January), and Softball (session 2, starting January 30) are offered with these 2 starting times.
Both classes for Softball (Tues) and Baseball (Fri) will operate the same, we anticipate the 6pm will sell out faster than 7pm. We suggest finding your ride share partner and teammate ASAP to reserve your spots today. Classes are kept to a very low 12 athletes per class MAX to ensure enough reps for all.
