WAA Travel Baseball Batting Cage registration procedures: BSC Cage
The site (http://www.eraamn.com/dib_sessions) is up to register batting cage sessions at Beilenberg. As you will see, there are separate DIB sessions for WAA and ERAA, please reserve from your respective association. We will begin the process by making the month of January available and limiting the number of slots and individual/team can fill (8). We will see how this process goes; if adjustments are needed we will do so. 1/2 hour team sessions are available; we ask that if filling these spots you have a minimum of 4-5 players attend. Please do not book these back to back unless there is still a session available within a day of your registered session.
Couple guidelines:
1. Currently an individual is limited to filling 8 time sots (individual and team) per a monthly period.
2. Time slots are labeled for each association (ERAA and WAA)
3. Two cages available with and without a pitching machine (session info has these descriptions)

Athletes will leran proper techniques in hitting, fielding (infield and outfield), throwing, pitching, and catching.
