Cloverdale Minor Baseball - Batting Cage Policies

1.	Please DO NOT enter the batting cage until the previous team has cleared out of the cage. This includes the seating area! It is very difficult to ensure that all players have collected their equipment if your team has crowded in and mixed their bags and equipment with the other team's equipment.
2.	Teams ARE NOT to run over their allotted time. When your hour is done – you’re done! This means no excuses like "one last batter" or "quick team meeting" or "we got in late". You must be OUT OF THE CAGE by the time your hour is done.
	Therefore, teams must start cleaning up their equipment 5 minutes prior to the end of their session, so they have vacated the batting cage on time. The clock on the wall in the batting cage (near the door) will be considered the official time for the batting cage.
3.	All teams are responsible to clean up the batting cage each time they are finished their session (balls in buckets and bats hung up).
4.	There is to be no smoking, food of any kind, gum, sunflower seeds or beverages (except water) in the batting cage.
5.	Only clean runners or turf shoes are to be worn. NO CLEATS
6.	Only adults are to feed or operate the pitching machines.
7.	Batting helmets must be worn while batting.
8.	Balls are to be placed back in the buckets and not in your baseball bags.

Booking Rules

1.	An access code, available from the batting cage coordinator, is required to enter the cage each time it is to be used. A person who has been assigned an access code is responsible for any damage that may occur during their booked time. Therefore, giving an access code to a 3rd party is not allowed. Anyone found to be asking for an access code and then giving that code to an outside party will have their batting cage privileges revoked.
2.	Booking the batting cage will be done online. Batting cage booking times are a one hour session. Booking slots will begin with an 8am – 9am spot and end with a 9pm – 10pm spot. Bookings must begin on the hour.
3.	Bantam A, Pee Wee A, Mosquito and Tadpole teams can only book the cage once a week. These teams cannot book their next session until after their current session is over.
4.	Pee Wee AA should book 7:00PM or later on weeknights, and all Bantam and Midget teams should book at 8pm or later on weeknights, in order to allow the younger divisions to use the earlier time slots.
5.	AA & AAA teams can book once Monday – Friday and once on Saturday or Sunday. These teams cannot book their next session until after their current session is over.
6.	Any unbooked spots are open to any team once that day begins. (12:01am of the day in question.)
7.	Current members in good standing with the league may book the cage in the off season free of charge if space is available. To use the batting cage in the off-season, please contact the President or Batting Cage Coordinator.
8.	Any violation of the above rules could result in the loss of your team's batting cage times.
