No, Batter-Up is designed for all abilities.
Yes, Batter-Up is designed for all ages. If you are not sure, why don't you try coming to one of our walk in sessions!
If you are booking a session for a child, please let us know the following information at the time of booking:
A new addition to the Batter-Up schedule! Walk in sessions are exactly what they sound like. Currently available on Saturday and Sunday's (And we are currently trialling this during the summer holidays), you can just turn up, buy a walk in pass and start hitting.
The beauty of this option is that you will have access to all of the available cages (1 may be in use for a private session), you just rotate with other players. And best of all, you can stay for as long as you want! The pass entitles you to 'All you can Hit' for that day. If you want to go and grab some lunch and come back later, that is ok too, just make sure you keep your wrist band on!
The popup machine is exactly what it sounds like. It sits just off to the side of the batter, and pops a ball up in the air so it drops into your swing zone.
This machine is designed for those who are new to the sport, as a less intimidating way to practice, and get your hand eye coordination, and those seasoned players who want to work on the mechanics of their swing.
This option is designed for those wanting to work on their fielding skills. It is conducted outside of the cage.
The pitching machine is angled up towards the sky, and the ball is launched high into the air, the aim of this session is for the participants to take it in turns trying to catch the ball with their glove.
It is advised that this session only be booked by those who already have some fielding and catching experience.
This option is designed for those wanting to work on their catching skills. They will take up the catchers position behind the batter's box, and will take the balls directly off the pitching machine.
This session is strictly for those that have catcher experience, and will require the participant to bring their own catcher's equipment.
This option is designed for those wanting to work on their pitching skills. They will take up position on the pitchers mound (for baseball), or at the pitchers plate for fast pitch softball, and throw to either a catcher, or into the pitchers pocket.
There are two booking options for this. 1. Where you require a catcher to be provided, or 2. Where you are bringing your own catcher, or are happy to pitch into a pitchers pocket.
This is the same as what we previously offered on an 'appointment only' basis. This is a dedicated 30/60 minute slot on a single discipline.
You will have exclusive use of the cage/machine for that time and will have a team member to do the pitching for you (if you want). These sessions are aimed at those wanting to get some real training in before a game or tournament, or those looking to work on something specific in their hitting/catching/throwing game.
All children under the age of 16, must be accompanied by and adult.
All other participants can bring people along, or come alone. There will always be someone on site to pitch for you, or we have a ball feeder which will provide a pitch every 6 seconds.
If you would prefer one of the team are available to do the pitching for you, please make a note of this at the time of booking. We will make sure there is a team member available for you.
Yes, we will give you a safety brief and demonstrate how the equipment is to be used, you can then continue the session alone.
There will always be a team member nearby, so if you are having issues, they will assist.
Please let us know if you would like to pitch the sessions between you.
*The team member has to right to revoke this if it is deemed the session is becoming unsafe*
No, sessions can be shared at no extra cost. In fact, we recommend you share sessions as they can be quite exerting.
We are afraid not, due to the differing requirements for each session type, disciplines will need to be booked as individual sessions.
Yes, but please let us know at the time of booking.
We take 50% of the payment at the time of booking, the remainder can be paid at the end of the session.
We take both cash or card payments (we have a card reader).
That's no problem, please just try to give us as much notice as possible.
We do not currently charge for cancellations.
As the cages are outdoor, the sessions are weather dependent. We will let you know 1 hour before the session, if we can go ahead or not.
We cannot run the machines in the rain.
