PRACTICE FIELD AND BATTING CAGE SCHEDULES

The most current practice field and batting cage schedules are posted below. Any unclaimed spaces can be used on a first-come, first-served basis. If you need to permanently change times, locations, or days, please let us know so that schedules can be updated. Google images of all the NKSD fields we use are posted in the slideshow below.

For AA, A, and T-ball divisions, specific fields/times are not typically assigned. Coaches for those divisions may practice at Poulsbo Middle School, any North Kitsap elementary school, or any county/city field*. These teams may practice at the same time as an older team where space permits (most school fields have enough space to allow for multiple teams to practice at the same time). AAA Divisions and higher have priority access to any backstops.

*One exception: The fields at Strawberry Park near Poulsbo Middle School are NOT to be used for practice at any level. This includes both the turf and grass fields at Strawberry.

Unfortunately, we do not have enough batting cage space to permit AA, A, or T-ball teams to practice there.

Practicing at a privately-owned field that is not listed in the Practice Field list posted above is not permitted due to insurance liability concerns.

A reminder to all managers regarding the use of the batting cages at Snider Park. The use of the cages is a privilege and we are fortunate to have access to them. To ensure all teams can make effective use of their cage time, please be sure to follow these guidelines before and after your practice:

1. All balls in the buckets.
2. At least one bucket of baseballs in each tunnel (softballs can all be placed in their buckets, mixed together, regardless of 11" / 12" size).
3. All trash in the trash can.
4. All portable L-screens lined up along the north and south walls. Please slide the screens under the ropes, not through the netting.
5. All tees lined up along the sides of the tunnels.
6. Tidy the area outside the tunnels: trash in the trash can, balls in buckets, extra hats/gloves/bats along the wall.
7. Water only is allowed in the cages (No food, sunflower seeds, soda, sports drinks, etc). To keep this fair and safe for all teams:
   • 1st or 2nd violation: The team will sit out from the batting cages for one week.
   • 3rd violation: The team will lose all batting cage privileges for the remainder of the season.

All teams have a limited amount of cage time, so please help keep the cages clean and organized. You can set up the cage as you like during practice, but starting from a clean, consistently arranged space makes it easier and more flexible for everyone. Thanks for your cooperation!
