Starting Monday January 23rd, practice times at Heroes Park will be on a reservation basis. There are 7 assigned pratice areas each with 2 time slots per day-5:30-7:00pm & 7:00-8:30pm. Region 85 teams will be entitled to two practice slots per week. Please show good sportsmanship in sharing our lighted fields (approximately 30 by 40). When you are no longer utilizing your slot please email me here so that your slot can be opened up for another team.

The baseball fields have been expanded so we are really short on space this season, thanks for being courteous, showing positive coaching in action.
