Batters back stop

[Olson, Andrew G. (SPO)]

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.

 

Thanks,

Thomas

Andy I have been away from the game for 3 yrs. but since you are using a temporary facility either one is fine. Is for the National Wheelchair Softball Championship 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
