I am the co-chair for the 2009 games (softball)  being held in Spokane
in July. We are using a parking lot as our field. I would like to know
what would be best to use
for  the batter's back stop. Netting or chainlink or whatever. Thanks,
Andy Olson

Whatever works.  we used everything from that orange fencing sold at
home depot to a 25' bicycle rack we used to drag over each game.
Do you need something portable??

Andy -

First of all, I wish you good luck this year - what a wonderful event
and opportunity you have! I organized the softball tourney in 2007 in
Milwaukee, and also held it in our County Zoo parking lot, but did not
utilize a backstop at all. Between the catcher and umpires, I don't
recall having any problems. Plus, we had volunteers, mostly youth
groups, which stood watch behind home plate and the outfield, beyond the
snow fence.

If you would like any other information, please feel free to contact me.
I hope to get out to Spokane this year, so maybe we'll meet...

Good luck and have a great time!!!

Trent I believe Andy Olson is referring to National Wheelchair Veterans  
Games not National Wheelchair softball Tournament.

Hi Andy,

That is cool I will be out the as well hopefully playing on your field.
The cheapest and safest way is use the orange plastic mess fencing and
could up will a temporary backstop.  If you do that it should work out
fine.

Bill
