What to Expect?

• We ask that you remain at this station throughout the entire Field Trip
• A Junction Sports Staff Station Supervisor will aid with this station
• Most students will be familiar with the idea of a “baseball/softball hitting” but for some, this will be their first time participating in this format
• Some students will be more excited than others
• This is a slower paced station due to the fact that only one person/cage is permitted.
• Safety is our biggest concern here. With JPLEX Staff and your working together by using the same language/laying of expectations.

Rules

• One students per cage at a time

• Exception being when a JPLEX Station Supervisor or you call “Balls Up”. All bats must be placed in the hands of a supervising adult before the call is made. Then, all students enter cages to help pick up balls

• Players not in batting cage will be seated outside of the cages in designated taped squares
• Students will be divided into 4 separate cages. Students will have 1 minute to hit as many balls as possible off of the tee located in each station

Tips

• Follow the lead of the JPS Staff member
• Encourage students to get water and use the restroom while at this station and not actively hitting
• Have Fun! This is a great way to connect with the students while they enjoy the thrill of competition!
