How many hitters would you like? I will stop at the facility tonight and see what they have available for a block of time to do a demo. I'm sure they will be more than happy to accommodate!
I'm just a few exits up the NE Extension in the Scranton/WB area. I can get a decent range of hitters together I'm sure. When are you looking to get out?
I wouldn't be opposed to something like this but like Tatonka said there has to be some flexibility you would think. I know there were times when we had an 8am game and then not again until later in the afternoon, so the Coach or Coaches would be responsible for keeping all of the girls together...
