Can you please tell me (if you have an idea) how all this was paid for by the school? Fundraising or was it school funds? Our facilities need updated and so I was just curious how other places pay for it.
No cussing necessary, haha! Fence is up and waiting on our infield mix. Once it’s down we will need to get some rain, or water it well to pack it. The irony huh? Should be playable by the end of the month. Still have to replace tarp and wind screens and we will be 100% here is a link to latest story.Funny how that works??
Seeing your name just now made me feel terrible for posting these pics......... How's things coming at your field? You're more than welcome to cuss me in a PM!

These look great! I'm in process of designing upgrades for my field, I'm going to steal these pics and show them to my AD. Your hitting areas and bullpens are very close to what I was designing, and seeing something tangible may help the process along.
Congrats! That's a nice looking facility!
Thank you. The small practice infield is invaluable, especially if you have a MS program also! Generally the MS practice before the varsity, the varsity can be over there warming up, throwing, taking infield, etc. before they take the main field. And it's a huge benefit when playing a game where both teams can warm up and take infield, or pitchers can warm up over there while the other team's pitcher(s) can be using the bullpen.
If we would have to do without any of these features, it would be the Tee-station, that was a last minute decision by the HC, and a nice one but I could live without it. The practice infield, the cage, and the bullpen on the other hand, they're must haves and used a ton! But for the convenience.....the small infield is definitely my favorite! I promise you'll never know how great it is until you build one!
The previous coaches build that infield so it's been there 3 or 4 years, not sure how true it is.....I was told the school HAD to build it the host a State Tournament, whether true or not, I don't know, or care, it's there.
