There are a few precautions that must be followed in the Batting Cage. Supervision is a must. There is still Rally Cap equipment and more that you MUST NOT TOUCH. Coaches enter from the door closest to the street. The players enter the batting cage at the door opposite the machine at the far end of the cage. Players not batting should remain outside the batting cage, behind the gate at the same end, or may stand beside the coach at the pitching machine. They are NOT to be in the second side of the cage for safety reasons.
