batting cage for all?

[Insane Blue]

Their are teams in So. CAL. That have built over sized dugouts so that they can do soft toss or tee work into nets without leaving the dugout.

Since it is in the dugout we are told it is legal.

LJ, some clarification, please.

Was this batting cage a permanent structure, or a temporary structure assembled for this game/tournament?

Permanent structure. Big enough to hold two batters with netting in between. They started building it at the beginning of the season and began using it toward the end.

If that is the case, I would change my response. If it is part of the facility, both teams should have access to it.

Should we really deal with this as game officials? Access to facilities at the game site should all be prearranged between the schools involved, and if not, the teams can come to a mutual agreement then and there.

I'm not going to rule on batting cage access rights or locker room assignments or whatever. That's what school administrators are for.

Where is equal access to batting cages covered in the rules?

Could make the case with 10-2-3g "make final decision on points not covered by the rules."
