Trying to size benches for dugouts and we’re starting to question whether we need 30’ benches ir if we could use 25‘ just as well? 25’ will allow more wiggle room in dugout and may work just as well for HS and 18U tournament teams-
Your thoughts?

Good point Northball but These are enclosed dugouts, so there shouldnt be a problem with uninvited guests. I asked a couple local coaches and they liked the idea of not being stuffed into a small bench area.
I . Hate . “Uninvited Guests”!

I would say 30' that would leave 6' at one end for bags and 4' for entrance. U figure if u have 12 players that would give them 21/2 feet each. Hopefully you dont have that many sitting. younger players sit alot during there at bats. So space to sit might be better

Thanks. I was thinking the same but had 2nd thoughts as we get closer to the finish line and wanted to hear some unbiased thoughts.

Over the years, I can't think I have ever had an issue with the length of the dugout or the benches (unless there was no blocked off dugout or benches) ... it was always the width of the dugout that annoyed me and caused most problems. It got worse as the girls started carrying more stuff. 🙂
