- The Facility will be open Friday and Saturday nights from 5:00 - 9:00 PM for Fastpitch.
- When reserving time in the indoor facilities, coaches/individuals may only reserve a facility for one practice per week and only2 tunnels at a time, for an hour time slot.
- Fargo Youth Baseball recently equipped the ATTIC with additional equipment to split the tunnel in half allowing anywhere between 2 – 4 cage options.
- There are 2 L-screens, 2 ball caddy’s, 2 hitting tee’s, 2 hitting mats, and a fungo screen to split your tunnel in half.
- If you split your tunnel in half, BE SURE TO USE THE EXTRA HITTING MAT TO PROTECT OUR TURF.
- Your indoor practice can consist of one hour in length and prefer that you schedule on the hour mark.
- Example: 5:00-6:00pm, not 5:30-6:30pm. If we're within 48 hours from the time you reserved and if tunnels are open, coaches or individuals can reserve either more tunnels and/or more time.
