The Facility is a private, non-commercial “Clubhouse” for Ruffnecks to hit and throw. It is used for the personal hitting routines of Ruffnecks players and to conduct Team Hitting sessions during the winter, spring and summer seasons. The Facility is an integral part of our culture and program. Players may come and go as they please. Occasionally, the Facility is available to local community youth groups. It is important to check the Announcements on the home page and the schedule on this page to be sure there is not a TEAM session. The Lounge is usually open and available for relaxation. Parents should feel comfortable working or relaxing in the Lounge. When hitters of varying ages are in the cages at the same time, older Ruffnecks should help younger ones. Ruffnecks should invite other Ruffnecks to join hitting groups when the Facility gets busy. Tunnels can accommodate 3-4 hitters. Help each other. Ruffnecks coaches may occasionally instruct non-Ruffnecks at The Facility. Coaches may also work with current Ruffnecks. Outsiders do NOT have access to the cages unless approved for personal instruction. High school teammates and friends are NOT permitted. The Ruffnecks Hitting Facility is a WOOD BAT ONLY facility for hitters. Siblings of Ruffnecks are permitted to hit at the Facility.
The Facility is available for Open Hitting starting at approximately 2:00pm daily. During the school year the Facility will have extended hours on school vacation days. We encourage Ruffnecks to use the Facility as much as they wish. The facility is available for college alumni to hit in the mornings when they are not at school.
