A new concept this year, Coquitlam Little League is proud to present our first Hitting League. A HUGELY popular concept in Southern California, the hitting league provides a fun opportunity for players to reap the benifits of working with their hitting coach. Instead of just going up for hacks off the machine or off a coach, players focus on taking QUALITY swings to help themselves, and help their team throughout the season. Every Wednesday night Blue Mountain cage is transformed to support a clash of titans as players pick sides and swing away. The centre net is removed to open up the playing area, and the hitting zone is defined. A point system has been set up to encourage hard hit line drives and discourage 'home run' hacks. Zero points are awarded for balls NOT hit into the hitting zone. Players get 1 point for hitting a ground ball to either side that hits the wall within the hitting zone, and get 2 points for line drives in the same area. 1 point is also awarded for hitting the bottom of the back net, 2 points for hitting the top net in the hitting zone, and 4 points are tallied for a line drive that hits the back! Each team gets a half inning consisting of each team member getting 8 swings. No more, no less. Points are added up at the end of the night to declare a winning team and also a batting champion! |
