There are several important elements that you should consider when you plan your batting cage layout:
1. Make sure to place your support poles wide enough apart to allow a "buffer" zone between your cage wall and the poles. This distance prevents ball from bouncing off the poles and hitting the pitcher or batter.
2. Make sure that the height of your supports allow for some of your cage to be "folded" on the ground. The netting laying on the ground prevents balls from escaping under the net.
3. Make sure that you place your cage in a location that makes the sun friendly during afternoon use. You do not want the sun directly in the batters or pitchers eyes.
Thanks for dropping in. have a great day. Nick

Batting Cage Nets - All You Need to Know About Batting Cage Nets
By Ilse Hagen
Batting cage nets can be constructed from polyurethane or wound nylon, with one and three-fourths of an inch square of mesh. Batting cage nets' edges are then bound together by knots forming the net into a square or diamond shape. Different systems of knotting are employed for different net types. Braided knots provide the highest level of abrasion resistance while twisted knots offer the strongest level of breaking strength.
Batting Cages
Permanent Pro Batting Cage: They are installed permanently in a field with the use of cement construction. A typical pro cage is made up of a series of sections of frames that look like croquet hoops inside frame's steel sections.
Batting Cage Kit: Best for backyards, it can be installed instantly. They are easy to move and take only a maximum of 90 minutes to set up.
Batter Up Style Batting Cage: They resemble dome tents and are small, taking up very little space.
Bat-co Cage: Compared to the standard system of netting, it is 20% taller and 50% wider.
Buying Tips
When buying for batting cage nets, be very sure to consider the following:
Strength: Look for the strongest batting cage you can fit into your budget. It will last longer and prove to be a good investment.
Construction: Get a batting cage net that comes with knotting construction. Square net construction is better than diamond net construction if you're looking for wear-resistant ones.
Border: Look for a batting cage net that comes with vinyl borders at the seams with grommets for ease in set up.
Color: Natural black color provides more UV-ray resistance.

The Baseball Swing - A Couple Fallacies
The Baseball Swing - A Couple Fallacies
By Nate Barnett
Do you know why you teach what you teach to your hitters? If I stopped you right now and asked you to tell me a couple advantages of any part of what you're teaching, could you do it? If not, it's time to kick into gear your learning habit and pick up some instructional strategies.
I've picked a couple parts of the baseball swing mechanics I hear taught repeatedly that are incorrect. Don't worry, I'll follow my own advise and explain why. Don't just take my word for it, however, ask around. Get other perspectives. But most of all, build your baseball swing knowledge base. Baseball instruction is a funny thing. You can find information and hitting "experts" everywhere. However, please for your own sake make sure that you are qualifying your sources of information first before you accept it. If you don't, you'll end up spending a lot of money, and changing your philosophy often.
Two Mechanical Fallacies:
1. Keeping your back elbow up is NECESSARY for a proper baseball swing.
I hear this advice mostly in Little League or in some of the younger age leagues. There is no physical advantage or benefit for a hitter to keep his back elbow up (often sometime much above the back shoulder). I'm not quite sure where the idea originated, but I do know it spreads like wildfire. It's like the cure all for a poor baseball swing. When it doubt, it must be the back elbow! And you can be sure you'll sometimes hear from the dugout or the stands, "Keep your back elbow up, Johnny!"
Keeping the back elbow up for younger hitters is often a source of a slow and long swing. When the bat head travels into the zone, the elbow of the top arm on the bat is down and relaxed close to the hitters body (if done correctly). Because of that, it makes little sense for a younger hitter to move his back elbow from a stiff position in the stance to a relax and collapsed position in mid-swing. Extra parts moving during a baseball swing mean less consistency. As a hitter gets older, his preference may be of a back elbow that is raised some. At this point (assuming he understands swing mechanics) he can make the adjustments as necessary.
2. Rolling your wrists as your bat comes through the zone is a must to create bat speed.
I have to bite my tongue (quite hard actually) when I ever hear this advice being offered for baseball instruction. While the back elbow up philosophy can be dismissed somewhat as a youth baseball strategy that does relatively minimal damage, this wrists rolling business can not be ignored in order to create a fundamentally sound baseball swing.
What "Wrist Rollers" can't do:
A. Hit an inside fastball to the pull side (right field as a lefty and left field as a righty).
B. Hit an outside fastball with any consistency to the opposite field (left field as a lefty and right field as a righty).
C. Hit line drives with back spin consistently (you know the kind that get over an outfielders head in a hurry for a double).
Here is why I can make those statements so confidently. In order to roll the wrists through a baseball swing, your arms must be straight at the elbows on contact with the baseball to do so. Youth hitters can get away with this because the velocity of the pitch is not overpowering yet. Add another 10-15 mph to the pitch and those inside pitches cannot be hit (or if they do, it stings) because the bat will be slow to sweep into the hitting zone. Outside pitches will also be difficult because the barrel of the bat will only cover the outer portion of the plate a fraction of the time necessary.
So what to do?
Teach your athletes when hitting a baseball to have their palm facing up on their top hand as they come in contact with the baseball. As the hands stay close to the body through the swing, the hitter will extend his arms after contact is made with the pitch. This proper extension is extremely important for good bat speed and plate coverage.

Building a Batting Cage Is Easier Than You Think
Building a batting cage is the ultimate investment in a player's hitting success. There is absolutely nothing else that has a more positive effect and than offers greater benefits than building a batting cage for your player or team.
If you have decided to purchase a batting cage, you have made a wise decision. The money you spend on a batting cage net and frame will provide great benefits and give your team or player a difinite advantage for years and years to come.
Whatever, you do, if you have the money to invest, do not change your mind. Go through with this project. Batting cage construction is not rocket science. It will be easier than you think if you follow our batting cage guide's step-by-step plans and instructions for batting cage construction. You can do this....we can help!
The choices you make concerning your backyard batting cage or home batting cage should be determined by three things.
1) The amount of money you have to spend on your new batting cage.
2) The amount of time and energy you can devote to the project.
3) The amount of space that you have to work with when you install your batting cage nets and frames.

Batting Cage Size "Basics"
Batting cages nets come in a variety of sizes but they are all rectangles. The net itself must have square corners to save construction time and cost. The sizes of a cage vary with the length, width, and height of the netting.
Be careful about buying cages that are too narrow. These cages do not allow older batters to take a comfortable swing and finish. The greater the width and height of the batting cage, the better sensation a batter has when a ball is hit.
The wider and higher cages allow the batter to read the path of the ball when it comes off the bat. A short and narrow cage tends to “smother” a hitter.
The higher and wider cages are also safer for the coach, player or parent throwing batting practice.
BattingCagesDirect.com sells batting cages of all size and weights. Save money, time, and energy by buying a "ready-to-assemble" batting cage system with net and frame included.

Bat Speed: What It Is And How To Get It by Jon Doyle
The term "bat speed" is all the rage these days among players, coaches, instructors and parents alike. Everyone is searching for the "Holy Grail" of hitting...bat speed. But wait, not so fast. Bat Speed is important, but a VERY generalized term. Let's break it down so you understand it and how to develop it... When most people say "bat speed" they picture Manny Ramirez, Gary Sheffield or any MLB with world-class bat speed putting a hurting on a baseball.
This is obviously the goal every hitter has. But please understand this is the end result, the culmination of hard work, being a student of the game and yes, of course, great genetics. It's not like you can take your average high school player, add 5-10 mph on their bat speed and all of a sudden they are Manny Ramirez. It simply doesn't work that way. While you can argue that player would be better, he still would have average mechanics and vision.
Now, I do believe if you increase your bat speed you have a better shot at raking than if you didn't. It certainly gives you a leg up on the competition and allows for a certain amount of error, which as you know will help any hitter. What I'm worried is bat speed is becoming like the radar gun for pitchers. Now all someone cares about is how fast their bat speed is on the bat radar machine.
One question…Who cares? Swinging as hard as you can in a cage without having to make contact with a ball has absolutely zero carryover to hitting. Sure your "bat speed" may have increase, but your mechanics are now down the toilet. I've seen it happen over and over and over again. And despite my warning the players, coaches, instructors and parents are left shaking their heads why Johnny is barely hitting his weight. Hard to believe, yes. But, sadly, also true. I'll make this statement and some self-proclaimed "expert" will argue with me but "You don't need world-class bat speed to be a world-class hitter". It certainly helps, but is not mandatory... However..."You do need world-class Game Bat Speed to be a world-class hitter" That's right "game bat-speed". Or how quick you can dial it up when you actually have to see the ball, locate it, decide what pitch it is, figure out if it's in your zone and then pull the trigger.
All in the matter of milliseconds. Some call it natural hitting ability. Others call it instinct. It's possible to have average, or even below average "bat speed" and have outstanding game bat speed. And it's VERY common to see players with great bat speed during practice and batting practice and then be terrible hitters. These players are called 5 o'clock hitters because they mash at 5 o'clock (the time pro teams take BP before a 7pm game) and stink when game time rolls around. You don't want to be a 5 o'clock hitter do you? Nobody likes that guy...
Here are 3 things you need to work on if you want to develop game bat speed, which is the REAL money-maker in hitting...
1. Baseball-Specific Vision I don't care how fast your bat is, if you don't pick up the ball early you can forget about becoming a great hitter. Sadly, 99.9% of coaches and instructors get this ALL wrong. You can't get it by sitting in front of a computer screen, hitting different colored baseballs (did I miss something? Does a baseball change color?) or any of the gimmicks sold today.
2. Proper Dynamic Flexibility and Range of Motion This one is so overlooked its ridiculous. Coaches and instructors spend hours upon hours trying to force hitters to do things their body simply cannot do. You can teach rotational hitting till you're blue in the face, if the hitter who you're teaching does not have proper dynamic range of motion throughout their hips, shoulder and lower body you can all but forget they will EVER pick up the mechanics. It's IMPOSSIBLE! Spend time developing dynamic flexibility and range of motion before you begin to engrain poor mechanics that will be impossible to break.
3. Ability to Generate Force Here's another one that the greats do naturally and the coaches and instructors miss. If you can't generate force from WITHIN you won't be able to put a hurtin' on the ball. You'll simply be a "soft contact" hitter, unable to generate game bat speed and put the ball into play with authority. Learn correct strength and conditioning drills to do with your players in order to develop this. Not machines, not stupid "balance" exercises or bodybuilding workouts. Specific methods that will develop world-class force generation. Get these three aspects in order and you're well on your way to explosive game bat speed and huge triple-crown category numbers!

Baseball Batting Cage: "Whether to Buy or Not to Buy"
Hello and Welcome,
The fact that you are reading this is an indication of your commitment to helping your child become a better baseball or softball player. You are doing your "homework" to help improve your home batting practice facilities. Your child is very fortunate to have a parent that cares so much about his or her game.
You are about to make one of the most expensive investments a parent can make in a players future hitting success. However, the purchase of a batting cage can be the single greatest thing that can happen to a player's life. It is the most logical and productive thing you can do if your son or daughter really loves the game of baseball or softball. Buying a cage can be like "putting-money-in-the-bank" if your child shows the potential to be a college player.
It is a known fact that players that have home batting cages, on the average, have more hitting success than those players that do not have home batting cages. I will admit that there are always exceptions. I am sure that we can all name a couple excellence hitters that did not have a cage in their backyard.
However, a high percentage of today's collegiate baseball and softball players had daily access to a batting cage when they were gowing up. Many of those players had their very own backyard batting cage.
If you can afford it and you have a secure place to set-up a cage, you would be well advised to order a cage as soon as you can. Our company seeks to make the batting cage buying and installation process as "painless and trouble-free" as possible. We specialize in selling "Total Batting Cage Packages" that have both net and frame included. Buying a cage this way saves you time and money and insures that you will have a top quality batting cage at the best price possible. Buy one of our systems and you buy a net and frame that are "made for each other". This insures quality performance and longevity.
At Nedco Sports we take great pride in helping hitters reach their potential. We have been helping hitters improve their game since 1999. We are here to help you make the right decision for your players needs. We do not wish to sell you something that you do not need or want. Please feel free to call Bill or Trey at 1-877-431-4487. They will help you in any way they can.
I wish you and your child the best of luck whether you purchase anything from us or not. In the future, if you ever need us, we will be here.
Happy Hitting,

6 Essentials Of A Great Baseball Team by: Arthur Raise

There are baseball leagues major and little, baseball journalists and reporters, fans who own teams others who collect memorabilia and record histories. With the advent of the World Wide Web baseball has embraced cyber space and now there are websites that cover every aspect of the game and keep a pulse on current as well as past seasons and teams.
Baseball is a team sport and every player and team needs to be committed and passionate about the game. To succeed every team whether major league, minor league, or local needs the following:
1. A team spirit and commitment to the game. The team must work as a single unit and be devoted to the game. They must live and breathe baseball.
2. The team must have a good support system. It is not enough for a team to be devoted to the game, families, team owner, sponsors, the coach, school and college authorities and more need to understand the psyche of the team and create a strong impermeable support system.
3. The team must have a good coach who will lead the team in every way. The coach is the backbone of the team and needs to be tough and yet loving. He or she must care for the team and its every player. The coach must understand the team and its members better than he understands himself or herself.
4. The team must be devoted to the sport and yet understand that there is a world beyond baseball. So, every member must simultaneously prepare for life beyond baseball. Be trained in skills and have qualifications that will allow the player to live a fulfilled life after baseball.
5. Great focus must be placed on balanced nutrition and mental strength training. A strong mind and body makes a great baseball player. Team training must include aspects of health, nutrition, and mental strength. The team must have a balanced diet, a balanced exercise routine that includes breathing exercises and meditation techniques.
6. While winning can be the goal every team must play for sheer joy and each player must focus on his strengths and work out his weaknesses. The team must become an impregnable fort so that the opponents can never use kinks in the armor.Baseball is a team sport that is often used to teach students and children life values and more. Baseball has gone beyond being a sport it is a way of life.

Be a Better Batter Through Repetition
By: Anthony Stai
All parents want their children to reach their full potential in anything that they do. If you have kids playing baseball or softball then you know that one of the most exciting and difficult aspects is hitting. And since you may only get 3 to 5 at-bats per game then you want to make sure that they count.
Whether your kids are playing baseball or softball, if they can hit the ball like they want then they will enjoy playing so much more. There's nothing worse than watching a player walk back to the dugout dejected and sad.
So what can you do as a parent to instill confidence at the plate? The best way to accomplish this is with repetition. Unless you are willing to pitch to your kids 200 balls a day then they won't get the kind of repetition that will improve their batting. Plus, unless you have Nolan Ryan accuracy, you won't be doing your kids any favors by having them swing at pitches outside the strike zone. And, you'll save your arm for throwing that football in the fall.
The best tool for repetition is a pitching machine. Pitching machines come in a variety of types and costs. Some have large wheels and run on gas motors and can feed up to 12 baseball sized balls. Some are just for baseball and others just for softball. These are usually expensive for a parent to purchase and are bulky and can't be self-operated safely by young batters.
The less expensive options are portable whiffle ball pitching machines. Most of these use the golf ball sized whiffle balls and run on rechargeable batteries so they can be used almost anywhere. Plus, they are just as effective for softball players as baseball players.
Many ask, "Why golf ball sized whiffle balls?" The small balls force the batter to concentrate more and to aim for a smaller target. When you can hit a small target consistently then a larger target will be even easier to hit. Plus the small balls are inexpensive and can still be thrown at high speeds.
The whiffle ball pitching machines are lightweight, some hold up to 100 whiffle balls, adjusts from 20 mph to 60 mph, pitch consistently, can pitch curve balls and sliders from both right hand and left hand pitchers.
Best of all, the whiffle ball pitching machines are FUN! Kids and adults of all ages have fun hitting from these machine and it truly has the ability to increase the confidence and ability of young and older batters in a matter of minutes.

Hitting a Baseball - Which Stance is Best?
By Nate Barnett
There are a lot of professional baseball hitters setting up with an open stance today. If you're not totally sure what an open stance is, it's when the front foot is back further away from home plate as compared to the back foot. Sometimes the front foot will also be pointed slightly toward the pitcher.
I've seen and heard quite a bit of discussion within baseball circles about the positioning of the stance as far as what works and what doesn't in preparing a hitter. The question I will answer is: Does a particular style of stance give a hitter a better chance at hitting a baseball hard versus the other?
The quick answer is no it doesn't make a difference on how a hitter stands when determining his eventual success in hitting a baseball. Having said that, here are a couple thoughts of caution to pay attention to if you work with a hitter who chooses to stand with an open stance. 1. An open stance will take a little bit more time to move into the preparation or load position when a hitter shifts his weight to his back leg. Because of this extra time, the hitter must make sure his timing is right and he generates movement sooner than he would if he was in a regular stance position (with both feet parallel and facing home plate).
2. An open stance often times provides the hitter with a better and more clear view of the pitcher as the eyes of the hitter are facing the pitcher more equally. Because the front part of the hitter's body is opened slightly, he will need to make certain as he moves into the load position that he closes his front side off to the pitcher.
*** I realize that I'm using terminology (load position) that may not be familiar to you. There are other articles I've written on that topic if you find yourself confused.***

Common Sizes of Batting Cages
Common sizes of cages are:
70’ L x 14’ W x 12’ H
60’L x 12’ W x 12’ H
50’L x 12’ W x 12’ H
Common weights of cages are:
# 21 #36 #42
Determine your net configuration. You must choose the width and length of your new cage based on the budget you have and the space you have available. The longer the cage and the heavier the net, the more expensive the kit will be. For home use, you may opt to buy a lighter weight net such as a #21 to save money. This weight is suitable for home use and the life expectancy is up to 5 to 6 years if you store it inside during the winter months.
#36 netting is more expensive but the heavier weight makes it more suitable for use by older players and teams.
CoachesBest.com sells all standard batting cage and nets sizes and weights. We can quote you on custom nets also. Make sure that you consider shipping cost when you get a quote on a new batting cage.

Baseball Swing - Three Core Movements by Nate Barnett
When I teach hitting (or pitching for that matter) there are a few important core movements that if accomplished will lead to a greater chance that other movements further in the baseball swing process will be successful. Keep in mind that there are quite a few significant movements within the complete baseball swing. Please don't think the below is an exhaustive list.
Core Hitting Movements:
1. The load. Movement backwards where weight is stacked on back leg is valuable so as to make sure the back knee and hip are fully involved in the triggering (power creation) process. Without the load, little power can be effectively generated with the lower half and therefore, the front hip or hands will begin to take over to compensate (a bad thing).

Youth Baseball Coaching Drill For Timid Hitters by Chip Lemin
I'm sure most of you have worked with batters who constantly bail out of the batters box no matter what. It seems that this player will begin his bail out before he even really knows where the pitch is going. Here is a drill to try that may have some impact; I'm not saying it is a cure for this problem. It will get the hitter to look first at least before they start their getaway. Read this complete article at BaseballCoachesDigest.com.

Batting Cage "L" Screen Protection
When you purchase or build a batting cage, you should include a "Protective L Screen" in the purchase cost. The "L" Screen gets it's name from it's "L" shape. Most "L" screens are made of pipe with #36 or #42 netting. Most "L" screens are at least 7'x7' and have have a "sock" net for double side protection. A "sock" net is a net made like a sock that has an open end on the bottom. This net design is slide down over your assembled "L" screen frame and it is tied or laced onto the "L" screen at the bottom of the screen. Three things you should remember related to "L" protective screens.
1. The condition of your "L" screen is more important than anything else. If your net has holes, is rotten, or is too small, you are risking seriuos injury and even death. There are several serious injuries that occur each year due to faulty or inadequate screen protection for the batting practice pitcher or pitching machine operator.
2. If players are throwing batting practice make sure that they are constantly reminded to keep their body behind the screen. Players tend to relax and not stay behind it like they should. Warn them about the dangers and make sure they constantly watch after each other's safety.
3. Make sure that the "L" sreen is adequate in size and is turned correctly for the pitcher throwing batting practice. The screen must be stable with a solid base and supports.

Do Pitching Machines Help Your Hitting? By John Marcus
One of the most widely asked questions of baseball and softball coaches is: do pitching machines help your hitting. Although having a pitching machine one hand does certainly give your hitting game an extra boost, it is certainly not essential to have a machine in order to be successful on the baseball diamond. In most instances, coaches suggest that all baseball or softball players should spend some time working with a pitching machine, but not devote their entire hitting practice to a machine.
The biggest complain that both coaches and players have of pitching machines is their consistency. Although consistency in hitting and pitching is generally a good thing, pitching machines can provide you with the same pitch each and every time, often allowing the pitcher to relax since they essentially know what is coming. In this case, pitching machines can make a player become overconfident or cocky, which can be detrimental when game time rolls around and a pitching machine is replaced by a real, live pitcher. If you are interested in using a pitching machine, consider a model that will vary the speeds and pitches served to you so that you do not fall into the pitching machine routine.

Buck Deer Tangles with Backyard Batting Cage
This large white tail buck deer "tangled" with a family's backyard batting cage and lost. The buck became entangled and had to be rescued by the conservation officers. Click the lick below to see the rescue photos at OutDoorLife.com.This family will have to buy a new batting cage net. I thought batting cage owners would find these photos interesting. Good thing that the deer was rescued and released. See the photo of the buck speeding away. He definitely learned a lesson.

"Putting-Money-in-the-Bank" - Batting Cages are a Wise Investment in a Player's Long Term Career Goals
Buying a cage can be like "putting-money-in-the-bank" if your child shows the potential to be a college player. If you child show a special talent and above average potential to be a "baseball prospect", building your own backyard batting cage is the right ting to do, if you can afford it.
It is a known fact that players that have home batting cages, on the average, have more hitting success than those players that do not have home batting cages. I will admit that there are always exceptions. I am sure that we can all name a couple excellence hitters that did not have a cage in their backyard.
However, a high percentage of today's collegiate baseball and softball players had daily access to a batting cage when they were gowing up. Many of those players had their very own backyard batting cage.

How to Use the Batting Cage For Better Hitting
by Jack D. Elliott
Your baseball hitting can be improved by using batting cages and batting practice to develop your timing. One thing to keep in mind while hitting in BP or the cage is to know when you are getting in good hitting. This is important b/c hitting the ball hard is only a starting place for good hitting. One way to improve your hitting is to focus on hitting line drives and hitting the ball on the ground. Over time, this will result in a higher hitting average because there is less of a chance for the ball getting caught in the air.

Building an Outside Batting Cage? Why a Polyethylene Net is your best buy:
- Family's have a need for a batting cage that is durable and that will last them at least 5 years.
- Polyethylene Net or PE netting does not absorb water. This prevents the net from becoming saturated with moisture. This saturation can possibly causes the net to become heavy, sag and possibly stretch.
This heavy weight can also cause the cage frame to stress. - After three years of outdoor exposure, PE netting retains a higher tensile strength than nylon.
- PE holds up well under direct sun.
- PE is more economical than nylon.
- Most family's are looking to buy the absolute best product they can for the absolute best price. The PE product offers our customers the best price and performance for the dollar!

Choosing Where to Locate Your New Batting Cage
When you purchase a batting cage remember that you can not fit your available space to the batting cage. You must fit the batting cage into the space you have available. Step off you or measure the area you have available. Make sure to purchase a batting cage that will best suit your available space. Do not allow space to deter your commitment to a batting cage purchase. Small cages in the 35’, 40’ and 50’ lengths are long enough to allow great batting practice work.
Your chosen area must be level and it must drain well. If you can afford the additional cost, you may want to add a floor to your cage. There are two materials that make a great floor. Cement or concrete is the most costly.
You may want to cover your hitting zone with indoor-outdoor carpet to extend the life of your leather baseballs. If you use rubber pitching machine balls in a pitching machine, they will withstand the abrasive properties of the cement cage floor.
Another great floor alternative is to use weather treated 2 x 4’s to build a raised floor. You will border all sides and ends of your batting cage floor with the 2x4’s and stake them into place. You will then fill the inside floor area with a commonly used infield material, crushed stone. This provides a raised dry hitting surface that will offer a safe and less abrasive surface upon which to hit.

Protective Backdrop Will Increase Life of Batting Cage Net
A must for a batting cage......The Protective Backdrop.
Definition of a Protective Backdrop:
A protective backdrop is designed to protect the area in your batting cage that is directly behind the hitter. This part of the net gets more abuse than any other part because the pitcher or pitching machine is throwing ball after ball into that 4' square area.
Most protective backdrops are made of vinyl, canvas, or a heavy guage netting. The backdrop hangs behind the hitter on the end of your batting cage. See an example of a canvas backdrop at http://store.baseball2u.com/hedu4x6cabay.html.
The protective backdrop is an essential accessory to your batting cage package that will extend the life of your net. Without a backdrop, the ball being thrown into the net will quickly "eat" into your net. The rotation on balls thrown by pitching machines is what causes the nets to eventually wear and tear. The friction created by that rotation on a pitched ball can be avoided by hanging a protective backdrop.
You can spend anywhere from $50 to $200 on a backdrop when you look to purchase one for your cage. Any of them will help preserve the life of your net and would be a wise investment.
Have a nice day, Nick.

Inground/Permanent Type Cages vs Portable Type Cages
Today, we will discuss the key factors of these 2 types of batting cage setups so you can determine which of the 2 would work best in your situation when you decide to purchase your own batting cage.
First, let's define "Permanent" Cages: These are the batting cage frames that you have to cement into the ground, and are thus there permanently. A "Portable" frame is one that snaps together with the use of little or no tools and sits on top of the ground rather than in the ground.
Key points of the Permanent type setup:
Positives:
-- Great for ballparks because the cages are typically put in one spot and left there
-- Will generally outlast a portable frame
-- The metal pipe used is typically heavier than that of the Portable cage, which means it would probably last longer
Negatives:
-- This setup is not portable and is limited to that 1 spot
-- Typically, the fittings are all that is included in a package- You then have to go to a local metal supplier and get poles cut to create the frame which can get expensive
-- Takes more time and effort to assemble than the Portable
Key points of the Portable type setup:
Positives:
-- This cage is portable and can be disassembled and assembled in another place
-- Assembly requires no tools and takes only 2-3 hrs
-- Most packages come with everything you need to assemble the frame and hang the net to the frame which is great for busy families
-- No digging or concrete required
-- Perfect for Backyard and Home batting cages
Negatives:
-- The poles are made of lighter metal
-- The package needs to be anchored down so high wind or storms do not damage it
These are some of the things to consider when you start researching which type batting cage is best for your situation. The Portable Batting Cages tend to be much better for the backyard, while the Permanent setup is better for complexes and ballparks.
I hope this info is helpful when trying to fill your batting cage needs.
Have a great day, Nick.

How to Easily Store Your Batting Cage Net
Yesterday was batting cage take down day for Boaz High Baseball. Each year at this time we take down our 4 outdoor batting cages and put them into storage until next January. There are three reasons we do this: 1)For security to insure that no one steals or damages these valuable assets of our program. The area where they are located is accessible year round. 2)The AHSAA has rules restricting the use of these cages in the off-season, and 3)Storing them during the off-season will double their life expectancy. We have been using these cages for 5 years and we expect to get at least 5 more years of use out of them.
Tips for Off-season Batting Cage Storage:
Tips for Off-season Batting Cage Storage:
- Make sure that your cage is absolutely dry before taking it down. Do not store your cage if it is damp or wet.
- Make sure to repair all holes if you have any before you take it down. Often we have small tears or holes that we easily and quickly fix with heavy-duty black weather proof twine.
- Make sure to collect all cables, rope, clips and other hardware in a bucket or box and label it for easy location when you put the cages back up.
- BEST TIP EVER - To easily store your cage and to make it easy to carry, use the heavy-duty paper roll or tube that new carpet or flooring comes on. Carpet store and flooring stores will often give you this tubes free. They are about 12 feet long. If these are not available, use heavy-duty PVC pipe.
- Spread your cage out evenly on the ground and roll in onto the tube. This makes the cage easy to carry by two people, and you can hang the net from the ceiling in your garage, carport, or basement. Use heavy-duty wire, rope, or chain to hang net from a adequate support structure. Make sure that what you use to hang it with is strong enough to safely hold the weight.
Remember you can depend on Nedco Sports and CoachesBest.com for all of your batting cage and net needs. Our customer support, toll free, number is 1-877-431-4487.
I hope you find these tips useful. Have a great day, Nick

The Home Batting Cage: Giving Your Player the Best Chance to Succeed
Does your baseball/softball player get enough batting practice during team practices?
Does your ballplayer play in a league where the onfield practices are short and scheduled due to a limited number of ballfields and multiple teams to use them?
Would you like to give your ballplayer the best chance to succeed as a hitter?
If you answer YES to any of the above questions, you should seriously consider purchasing a Home Batting Cage. A Home Batting Cage allows your players to get all the swings they need to make them the best hitter possible. With a Home Batting Cage, your players can take batting practice whenever they want. I think that being able to practice whenever a child gets the urge is very important. Also, you can have your child's whole team over to get extra practice in order to help the team be more successful.
A Home Batting Cage is the most logical and productive thing you can do if your son or daughter really loves the game of baseball or softball. Buying a cage can be like "putting-money-in-the-bank" if your child shows the potential to be a college player.It is a known fact that players that have Home Batting Cages, on the average, have more hitting success than those players that do not have Home Batting Cages. I will admit that there are always exceptions. I am sure that we can all name a couple of excellence hitters that did not have a batting cage in their backyard.
However, a high percentage of today's collegiate baseball and softball players had daily access to a batting cage when they were gowing up. Many of those players had their very own backyard batting cage.
If you can afford it and you have a secure place to set up a cage, you would be well advised to order a cage as soon as you can. www.CoachesBest.com specialize in selling "Total Batting Cage Packages" that have both the net and frame included. Buying a cage this way saves you time and money and insures that you will have a top quality batting cage at the best price possible. Buy one of our systems and you buy a net and frame that are "made for each other". This insures quality performance and longevity.
www.CoachesBest.com has complete Home Batting Cage packages measuring 40', 55', 60' and 70' long. These packages are mixed with #21, #36, and #45 Poly Netting (depending on which package you choose) in order to give you options when selecting that important investment for your child. You can view these Home Batting Cage packages athttp://store.baseball2u.com/basob.html.
Remember, a Home Batting Cage can give your player or players a significant edge over the competition and give them more of a chance to get that scholarship so many parents dream of for their kids.
Good Luck to your ball players and have a great day, Nick.

Baseball "L" Screen Basics
Hello and Good Morning. Having a baseball pitching "L" screen is a must if you are buying a new batting cage. The "L" shape design of this screen gives it its name and provides a protective barrier to protect the batting practice pitcher.
Buying tips for buying an baseball pitcher's "L" screen.
Buying tips for buying an baseball pitcher's "L" screen.
- Do not try to save money by buying a small screen. The larger the screen, the better, when it comes to a pitcher's safety.
- A "sock" designed net fits over the frame like a sock. The frame is constructed and then the net is slide down onto the frame and tied intot place. "Sock" nets provide "double" protection because they provide two layers of net protection.
- Make sure that you buy a "L" screen made of "heavy-duty" netting. Most "L" screens are made of #36 netting. Anything lighter in weight is not recommended.
- Regularly check your "L" screen for holes, tears, or loose bindings. If you find a problem, repair it immediately. If it can not be repaired, "shut down all cage work" until the "L" screen is replaced.
Baseball2u.com has top quality "L" screens for discount prices.
I hope these tips are helpful to you. Have a great day, Nick

Why Baseball Batting Cage Safety is Everyone's Concern
I hope all is well with you and yours. The next time you have to remind a player to wear a helmet in the batting cage, tell them about the following article. You may want to print the aticle and post it for everyone to see.
Batting cages and batting cage batting practice can be a totally safe environment when safety rules are learned and followed. Although batting cage injuries are rare, we should always remember what can occur when we drop our guard!

A question I often Have asked: "What is the life expectancy of my baseball batting cage?"
How many years of use can I expect to get out of this investment?
This question's answer depends on several factors:
This question's answer depends on several factors:
- Is the batting cage used indoors or outdoors?
- If the batting cage is used outdoors, does it stay up all year?
- Do you have a "ball impact" net saver screen behind the batter?
Covered batting cages and batting cages set-up indoors can last for 10 or more years. They are protected from the elements and this greatly extends their life.
Net's used outdoors, can be expected to last 4 to 6 seasons with year round exposure to the weather elements.
It is recommended that you do the following to extend the life of your cage:
- If you can set you batting cage up indoors by all means do so. This extends the life of your batting cage plus, it allows you to taking indoor batting practice when the weather outside is too wet or too harsh for outdoor use.
- Take your net down for 6 months and store it in a dry place indoors.
- There are recommended weather-proofing chemicals that you can use to treat your net before you put it back up.
- Use an "ball impact" net or tarp to protect the area behind the batter. This area is prone to wear out faster because of the constant impact of the ball.

Batting Cage Myth - A Batting Cage Must Be Long to Be Useful
“A Baseball Batting Cage must be long for it to be useful.” This is simply not true.
Players of all ages, even at the high school and collegiate levels benefit from batting practice in batting cages that are 35’ to 50’ in length. Shorter batting cages may be limited in length, but they offer huge benefits when they are used regularly. Very seldom do baseball and softball batters take cage batting practice from their regular pitching distance. The wear on the throwers arm to reduced at shorter distances. The accuracy of the batting practice pitches are always more consistent when at shorter distances. Shorter Batting Cages are of course less expensive and they do not require the space that much larger cages reuire.
“Long-toss”, “front-toss”, and various other batting practice drills can be performed at distances under the regular pitching distance. When batters take swings at pitches thrown at 35’ the batter is seeing and reacting to pitches that simulate higher speeds at the normal pitching distance. The player’s “triggering”, “separation”, and “loading” mechanisms are all at the same speed, rhythm, and timing as under normal game hitting.
For more great information, drills and tips, visit the Baseball Coaching Digest.

The 59th Major League Allstar Game
Seeing such a great collection of Major League Allstars on the field for the National Anthem will always be a memory that I will cherish.
This is truly America's game. I am proud to have the priviledge to coach it. Thanks MLB for a special moment. It was great to Yogi Berra, one of my all time favorites Hall of Famers. The clips of him leaping high into the arms of Don Larson in the 1956 World Series were a special touch to the telecast. For more on the 1956 World Series visit the Baseball Almanac.
I can't talk about Yogi without including three of his famous quotes that I consider to be "classic":
"You can observe a lot just by watching."
"I always thought that record would stand until it was broken."
"Baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical."
For More MLB Quotes - Baseball Amanac
Amazing Facts: Yogi Berra originally sined for $500 and $90 dollars a month. Yankee Stadium cost 2.5 mil to build. Now 41 MLB players make more annually than it cost to build that stadium.
Tonight was a special night for all baseball fans! Thank you Major League Baseball!

My first official post..
Hello and welcome to my blog. One of the greatest assets that a baseball or softball player can have is a backyard baseball batting cage. A baseball or softball team that does not have access to a batting cage will often find it difficult to compete with teams that do. Baseball and softball teams that have batting cage access often get more quality batting practice swings than team that do not use a cage.
Buying a batting cage does not have to be an difficult and challenging experience. With the right knowledge and help, you can determine your best option to meet your needs. I will provide you with as much information as I can. I hope that you will find my post helpful. One thing is for sure, when the buying and installation process is complete, you will be glad and thankful that you took action and had the intiative to take the "big step" and buy a cage. Your player and/or team will benefit greatly from the convenience and regular batting practices that batting cage ownership offers. I will also include suggested drills and tips for getting the most out of your batting cage workouts. Thanks. Have a great day, Nick.
