LA - _ G� L� l� — tie V South Windsor Little League Proposed Covered Batting Cage Project ,jam ® January 2011 • For the past year, the South Windsor Little League Board of Directors has been discussing the need to improve its batting training facilities to meet the needs of its players. On a typical evening during the spring season, there are at least 6 to 8 teams of 12 players each that need to use the existing batting cages (2). During the summer season, the batting cages are used by All Star teams, visiting District 8 teams and the Summer Baseball program. The proposed batting cage project would benefit approximately 600 - 700 registered players in the league. In reviewing the need for improved facilities, we discussed the merits of having a covered facility. It would allow for would practices during inclement weather and would offer the possibility of extending practices after it gets dark earlier in the afternoon during the spring and fall seasons. This idea expanded from covering the existing cages to keeping those (2) as they currently are and adding the covered facility next to them, giving the league a total of (4) batting cage lanes. The proposed batting cages would be situated parallel to the existing batting cages as shown x in the photo to the left. Major B Proposed The structure can be painted to any desired Batting Ca es color in order to make it look less r m "institutional". A A A line of tall vertical trees such as arbor vitae can be planted along the side of the structure Existing that faces Nevers Road. This will help to Battin Cages ' conceal the appearance of the structure along the one main public view outside of the SWLL Complex.
