The Dugout

Book our practice space!

Hastings Softball Boosters offers an indoor leased space in the old movie theater building called the Dugout. The address is 1325 S Frontage Rd, Hastings

The Dugout is free to any girls that are in any of Hastings Softball programs in our community.  The ability for us to provide this to you is all your support in all of the Hastings Softball Booster fundraising efforts!

There are two spaces we lease in this building.  One of the spaces is called the Home Dugout.  This has two batting cages in it Lane 1 and Lane 2.  The other space is called the Away Dugout has two batting cages also Lane 3 and Lane 4

Each Lane has a turf batters box, pitching mat, Tee, 9 pocket net, pitching screen, 11” and 12” softballs

To use any of these spaces a waiver is required to be filled out and signed.  Parents signing this waiver are assuming all liability if injury of their child while using this space.
