Red Lion
Recreation is offering an indoor (winter) baseball training program.
We will have pitching machines, live pitching, hitting instruction.
Coaches will be on hand to help, and a small area to work on fielding.
The purpose
of this program is not to take the kids away from other sports.
They should play basketball or wrestle or be involved in other activities this
time of the year.
The purpose of this program is to help improve baseball skills in the
off-season.
If the kids have an extra hour or two each week, and would like to try to
improve their baseball skills, this is a great opportunity.
The building will be available as follows:
Tuesdays
(6:00-8:00)
Thursdays (6:00-8:00)
Other times are available by appointment.
All
participants must obtain a “practice card” by stopping at the Recreation Office
during open hours.
The program is scheduled to run from January 12 through the beginning of March.
Fees are
$40.00 for Red Lion Borough residents and $50.00 for non-residents.
This gets you unlimited usage for the winter season.
