Tantum Park Batting Cage or Outside Practice Fields 

*NOTE: All coaches must meet all requirements and be cleared by Glen Seaboldt ([email protected]), RLL Safety Officer in order to practice with your team on your scheduled time. 

PLEASE READ BEFORE REQUESTING CAGE AND/OR FIELD TIME 
Indoor Cage & Field Request Procedure

• Check the Team Central Calendar for cage/field availability prior to making any requests. *See below for available cage and field times and locations.
  
• All requests for use of the indoor cage and/or outside fields must be made and scheduled properly with the RLL Fields & Facilities Officer, Whitney Hurley - [email protected]. Please allow 48 hours for a response before re-submitting your request.
• Please include the following in your email:

Baseball or Softball 
Division (Major, Minor, Rookie, Tee Ball)
Team & Manager Name
Day & Time Requested (3 different options in order of preference)
Outside Field & Indoor Cage

• Your practice time and location must be approved by the Fields & Facilities Officer and posted on the CALENDAR prior to cage/field use.
  Note:  If you have not received approval, you do not have the cage/field. This also means you are practicing "at peril" without RLL's consent and therefore put at risk for 1) Liability Insurance Coverage by RLL (both Coaches and Players) and 2) Payment of Field Rental Fees to the Township as well as providing separate insurance coverage. Violations will result in warnings (total of 2) and/or loss of field and/or cage privileges.  This applies to managers and coaches even in absence of the manager. 
  
• If you are cancelling your practice, please notify the Fields & Facilities Officer so someone else can use your slot.
