Important Open Gym Notes

An adult (HS & older) MUST be present. Open cage (hitting) times are SELF LED hitting opportunities with drills and hitting videos are included in a link at the top of the sign-up sheet. 

If your coach is present at that time, it is because they are working with their own child so, please don't interrupt their time with their child. 

If you sign up for the first session, you will need to help get equipment out and if you sign up for the last session you will need to help get equipment put away. 

Equipment will be in the large storage area (when you walk in the side doors, storage area to the right) which is the same space as last year for returners. 

Important: If equipment is not taken out and put away appropriately, we will not be able to offer these opportunities moving forward. 

Any parents able and willing to on Wednesdays are encouraged to. This is a great opportunity to learn, interact with the athletes and allow for productive practice.
