Batting Cage Procedures

The following are the procedures for using the batting cage at McMahen Park;
  1. To book the batting cage, contact Wayne Rae at 681-9505 or w.rae@sympatico.ca. WAYNE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING UP THE CAGE FOR YOU!
  2. The balls and pitching machine are stored in the field house near Adelaide. Wayne will tell you the combination to the exterior door facing the park when you book the cage. If the door to the storage room inside is locked, the combination is the same number. Please keep this number confidential. The batting cage and pitching machine are for EBBA team use only, NOT for use by outside organizations or individuals.
  3. The key to the batting cage lock is on a chain attached to the ball bucket. Do NOT take the key off the chain. Bring the ball bucket out to the cage even if you are not using the pitching machine.
  4. Only ONE player at a time is permitted in the cage, and must wear a helmet. Only an ADULT can feed balls into the pitching machine, and must also wear a helmet.
  5. The Team manager is responsible for setting up the cage and for putting it away again, including locking the batting cage, unless there is another Team Manager present who will be using it next. Please check that you have collected all the balls.
  6. Please let Wayne know about any problems with the cage or the equipment.
