PRACTICE FIELDS

One of the benefits of being a 3&2 league member is that it provides access to a number of practice fields around the area. These fields come in a variety of sizes and conditions and are spread across the 3&2 service area.

3&2 works continuously with school districts, individual schools, municipalities, churches and privately owned fields to improve the quantity and condition of practice fields in the area.

If you have access to your own field outside of the pool of fields 3&2 has access to, that will help with everyone getting a chance to have a practice field time slot.

With field time being limited, teams should consider the following where possible to make the most of practice opportunities:

·        Practicing at non-traditional times – Practices on weeknights are in highest demand. Consider utilizing a field during the day on a weekday.

·        Practicing in non-traditional areas – Even when a quality field is not available, players can receive great instruction and quality repetitions without a field. Practicing in parking lots or grassy areas are two places that are not regulated outside the landowner’s permission. Playing catch, pitching practice, catcher’s drills, soft-toss or hitting off a batting tee into a net does not require a field.

·        Sharing a field with another team – If you plan well, two teams can get their work done on a single field. Split infield and outfield time. 

Once you have 9 players on your roster, please contact Shannon Rose at [email protected] or 913-888-8055 ext. 300 to claim your practice slot for the season where 3&2 has secured practice fields for the current year.
